Batting leadoff Tuesday Maton is starting at third base and batting leadoff for the Tigers in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Guardians, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Maton has been splitting time between second and third base since Tyler Nevin arrived and will settle in at the hot corner for this one. The 26-year-old is hitting just .195 but is showing some surprising pop early in the season with three home runs.

Plays hero off bench Maton went 1-for-3 with a walk and a walkoff three-run home run in Friday's 7-5 extra-innings win over the Giants.

Impact He began the night on the bench, but Maton pinch hit for Tyler Nevin in the fifth inning and remained in the game at third base, eventually playing hero in the 11th by driving a Camilo Doval fastball over the wall in right field. After hitting only 10 homers in 92 games between Triple-A and the majors last season in the Phillies' organization, Maton has gone yard three times in his first 12 contests as a Tiger, but his .194 batting average (7-for-36) and 30.2 percent strikeout rate will need to improve if he's going to continue getting regular playing time.

Sitting against lefty Maton isn't in the Tigers' lineup Friday.

Impact With the left-handed Sean Manaea starting on the mound for San Francisco, Maton will begin the game on the bench. Tyler Nevin will start in his place at the hot corner and bat second.

Goes deep again Wednesday Maton went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 10-inning loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Maton went deep in the fourth inning, giving him two long balls in as many days. The 26-year-old hit a career high five home runs last season, but it seems like he'll see a lot more playing time with the Tigers this year, so he stands a good chance of surpassing that figure.

Batting second Wednesday Maton is batting second Wednesay versus the Blue Jays.

Impact Maton hit a three-run homer in Tuesday night's loss at Toronto, providing all of the Tigers' scoring in a 9-3 loss. He does have one other extra-base hit this season -- a double -- but is slashing just .120/.290/.280 through 31 plate appearances. Even in a good situation for regular playing time with Detroit, the versatile 26-year-old doesn't offer much current fantasy upside.

APRIL 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Provides offense Tuesday Maton went 1-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Maton provided all the offense for the Tigers in the 9-3 loss with his first home run of the season in the second inning. It was only the third hit overall for the third baseman, who's batting just .120 in the early going. Maton should continue to see regular playing time, though it remains to be seen if he'll have much of a fantasy impact moving forward.

Tallies three hits Tuesday Maton went 3-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals.

Impact Maton was off to a slow start before Tuesday's outburst, but he's now batting .294 this spring. The versatile 26-year-old is competing for an everyday role at third base, though he can also play some in the middle infield and the outfield. Maton should see a decent number of at-bats for the Tigers this season and could emerge as a moderately useful fantasy option.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Off to slow spring start Maton went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays and is now batting just .182 this spring.

Impact It's a small sample size of just 11 at-bats, so Maton has time to get going before the regular season begins. The 26-year-old came to the Tigers as part of the Gregory Soto trade in the offseason and is competing for regular playing time, possibly at third base. Tyler Nevin is also in the mix at the hot corner, and the two could alternate starts, at least until one of them emerges as a preferred option. Maton also has the versatility to play at shortstop and second base as well as in the outfield, so he could be a utility player for the Tigers as well.
