Plates run in loss Goodrum went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday's loss against the White Sox.

Impact Goodrum has recorded hits in three of his last four games, but he is on a 3-for-23 slump in his last six games. Despite his offensive struggles, Goodrum has been producing runs at a decent rate and has already racked up 14 RBI in 20 games this season.

Anderson, White Sox rough up Skubal, Tigers 10-4

Tim Anderson welcomed Tigers pitching prospect Tarik Skubal to the majors with a leadoff homer, and the Chicago White Sox beat Detroit 10-4 for their third straight win

Back in lineup Goodrum (back) returns to the lineup Tuesday against the White Sox, leading off and playing shortstop.

Impact Goodrum left Sunday's game against Cleveland with back soreness and did not take part in Monday's contest, but the issue was evidently a minor one. His .726 OPS this season is respectable enough, though his .269 on-base percentage is far too low for a leadoff man.

Not starting Monday Goodrum (back) will sit Monday against the White Sox.

Impact Goodrum left in the middle of Sunday's game against Cleveland with back tightness, so it's no surprise to see him sit for at least one contest. Willi Castro slides to shortstop in his absence, with Isaac Paredes making his big-league debut at third base.

Indians beat Tigers for 20th straight time, Reyes hits 2 HRs

The Cleveland Indians beat Detroit for the 20th straight time, nearing the major league record for most wins by a team over a single opponent, as Franmil Reyes hit two home runs to...

Pulled with back injury Goodrum was removed in the top of the fifth inning of Sunday's game against the Indians with right upper-back tightness.

Impact According to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com, Goodrum appeared to tweak his back on a swing during his fourth-inning plate appearance. Victor Reyes came off the bench to replace Goodrum, who finishes the day 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.

Leads offense in loss Goodrum went 1-for-4 with a home run, a stolen base, a walk, two RBI and a run scored, but it wasn't enough as the Tigers lost 10-5 to the Indians on Friday.

Impact Goodrum got the Tigers their only lead of the evening after he smoked a two-run shot to right field in the third inning to put his club up 3-2. The 28-year-old shortstop has been streaky at the plate as he has nine hits and nine RBI in his last seven games, but he has also gone hitless in three of those outings and has 10 strikeouts over that same span. Even if he can maintain better consistency at the plate, Goodrum still remains a risky add due to his high strikeout percentage (36.6%).

Homers in four-hit game Goodrum went 4-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Monday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

Impact Goodrum came into Monday batting just .191 but the four-hit effort boosted his average to .255. The Detroit shortstop has looked better lately after a slow start to the season, as he now has three multi-hit performances over his past four starts. He should remain the Tigers' leadoff hitter for the foreseeable future.

Goes deep Saturday Goodrum went 2-for-6 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored during Saturday's 11-5 win against the Pirates.

Impact The 28-year-old entered the series 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts over his past five games, but through two games in Pittsburgh he's 4-for-12 with a homer, three doubles and six RBI. Goodrum has a .730 OPS through 12 games and will look to continue trending upward in Sunday's series finale.

Five RBI in wild win Goodrum went 2-for-6 with a walk, two double and five RBI in Friday's 17-13 extra-innings win over the Pirates.

Impact His RBI came on a bases-loaded walk in the fifth inning and a paid of two-run doubles in the seventh and 11th. The outburst snapped an 0-for-12 cold spell, but Goodrum is still slashing only .189/.256/.378 through 11 games.

On bench Game 2 Goodrum is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Reds.

Impact Goodrum started at shortstop and batted leadoff during the first game and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Goodrum is struggling to begin the season and is now 0-for-11 over the last four games. Harold Castro will start at shortstop in Game 2.
