Impact The 24-year-old will rejoin the MLB club for the start of September as rosters expand to 28 players. Malloy has a .698 OPS with eight homers in 57 big-league games this season and should see semi-regular playing time in the outfield and at designated hitter.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • KANSASCITY.COM

Sent back to Toledo Malloy was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Impact Malloy hasn't hit particularly well in his first taste of the majors, as he's maintained only a .217 average with a 36.3 percent strikeout rate in 204 plate appearances. He's also lost playing time due to the return of Kerry Carpenter, so the Tigers will opt for Malloy to continue his development in the minor leagues for the time being.

Moves up to third in order Malloy is starting in left field and batting third in Saturday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Malloy batted sixth Friday, but he'll move up three spots for Saturday's contest. The rookie has bounced around the order a bit recently, as he's served as the leadoff hitter twice in the past week while also sliding down to seventh on one occasion. Malloy has the power potential to be a regular middle-of-the-order bat, though he's batting just .216 and striking out 36 percent of the time this year, which has kept him from truly breaking out.

AUGUST 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Batting leadoff Thursday Malloy will start in left field and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Malloy had a pinch-hit single in the first game of the series and reached base three times in the second contest after being a late addition to the lineup. That's earned him not only another start in the series finale, but also his first-ever shot at the leadoff spot.

AUGUST 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Late lineup addition Malloy is starting in left field and batting seventh Wednesday against the Tigers.

Impact The 24-year-old was initally absent from the starting nine Wednesday, but he'll end up receiving a start since Javier Baez (undisclosed) was scratched. Malloy has a .642 OPS through 10 games in August, and he could see a diminished role going forward with Kerry Carpenter back from the injured list.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out of lineup again Wednesday Malloy is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Malloy has now sat out both contests since Kerry Carpenter was reinstated from the injured list. Carpenter has been at designated hitter both times, so Malloy could see his playing time tick back up once Carpenter starts playing the outfield more.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from starting nine Malloy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Malloy will hit the bench in Kerry Carpenter's first game back from the injured list, as Carpenter fills the DH spot and Zach McKinstry, Parker Meadows and Matt Vierling fill the outfield. While Carpenter is expected to eventually play right field every day, the Tigers could ease him into action by frequently playing DH, which would eat into Malloy's role.

AUGUST 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting Wednesday off Malloy isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts during Tuesday's series opener, Malloy will get a day to rest Wednesday. His absence will move Colt Keith into the DH role while Zach McKinstry starts at second base and bats seventh.

AUGUST 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Provides offense Friday Malloy went 2-for-2 with two walks and a two-run home run in Friday's 9-2 loss to the Royals.

Impact Malloy provided all of his team's offense with his eighth home run of the season in the first inning. The rookie has shown good power potential through 45 games, but he's also unsurprisingly striking out 33.5 percent of the time. Malloy will have to make a bit more consistent contact if he wants to take the next step as a player, though the rebuilding Tigers should give him plenty of opportunities to work through things at the plate.

AUGUST 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Sunday Malloy is absent from the Tigers' starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Malloy will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-9 with five strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Mark Canha will serve as the designated hitter and bat in the cleanup spot against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober.

JULY 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Detroit lineup Malloy is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Cleveland.

Impact Malloy had started each of the last four contests and batted no lower than third during that time, but he will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Riley Greene will be the designated hitter and Mark Canha will handle left field for the Tigers.

Homers again in win Malloy went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 8-2 win over the Guardians.

Impact Malloy opened the scoring with a two-run home run off Carlos Carrasco in the first inning. The rookie has now homered on back-to-back days and has seven long balls in 123 plate appearances this year. He also struck out three times to bring his season total to 42 but has still managed an impressive .279/.380/.605 slash in July.

Blasts grand slam in loss Malloy went 1-for-3 with a walk and a grand slam in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Malloy provided all of his team's offense, taking Toronto starter Kevin Gausman deep in the fifth inning with the bases loaded. The rookie now has six home runs through 35 games as he continues to show good power potential. He's also been striking out roughly 33 percent of the time, though he encouragingly didn't have any strikeouts Sunday and drew his 14th walk of the season. If Malloy can continue to refine his approach at the plate, he could be primed for a strong finish to the year.

Enters lineup Saturday Malloy is serving as the designated hitter and batting second in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Impact Malloy did not appear in the team's first game following the All-Star break Friday, but he'll slot in for Saturday's contest. The rookie has shown decent pop in a part-time role, hitting five home runs across 33 games, though he's batting just .219 and has struck out 34.5 percent of the time so far. He'll need to be a bit more consistent if he wants to earn more playing time.

JULY 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Getting break Sunday Malloy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Malloy will get a breather in the Tigers' final game before the All-Star break after he had started in each of the team's last five contests while going 5-for-18 with a home run, a triple, two walks, three runs and two RBI. Riley Greene will get a day out of the outfield and will serve as Detroit's designated hitter while Malloy takes a seat.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Homers in return to lineup Malloy went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-8, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

Impact Malloy had been out of the lineup the last two days, but he returned with a bang Tuesday, popping his fifth home run of the season across 28 games. While the power has been nice, the rookie is batting just .195 with a 35 percent strikeout rate. Malloy is taking his lumps, and he may not see consistent playing time as a result.

JULY 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting in second straight Malloy is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Malloy will take a seat for the second day in a row against a right-handed pitcher (Gavin Williams) while the Tigers roll with Mark Canha as their designated hitter. Though his usage of late hasn't been encouraging, Malloy has performed passably since getting the call to the big leagues June 3. Through his first 27 MLB games, Malloy is hitting just .195 with a 36 percent strikeout rate, though he's provided some pop (four home runs, two doubles) and is walking in 10.1 percent of his plate appearances. He'll likely see his playing time dip when the Tigers are at full strength, but unless his production drops further, Malloy should at least have a semi-regular spot in the lineup until Detroit gets Kerry Carpenter (back) and/or Parker Meadows (hamstring) back from the injured list.
