Hits second home run Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays

Impact Meadows was bumped down in the batting order against righties recently due to some struggles at the plate, but he responded with a big home run Sunday, just his second of the season. While the 25-year-old is still batting only .172 with a .607 OPS, the Tigers seem committed to him in center field, largely due to his defensive abilities. Meadows remains inconsistent from a fantasy perspective, though he still has plenty of potential as he's yet to play even 140 total games at the MLB level in his short career.

Bumped down in batting order Meadows will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Meadows had served as the Tigers' leadoff man against right-handed pitching since coming off the IL on June 2, but he appears to have ceded those duties to Colt Keith. Meadows has occupied a spot in the bottom third of the order in each of his last three starts versus righties, and he'll likely need to show some improvement at the dish before manager A.J. Hinch considers moving him back up in the lineup. The center fielder has mustered a woeful .167/.262/.296 slash line with one home run and two steals over 61 plate appearances.

Bumped down in batting order Meadows will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Upon returning from the injured list June 2, Meadows had initially served as the Tigers' primary leadoff man against right-handed pitching, but he appears to have since ceded those duties to Colt Keith, who will top the batting order for a fourth straight matchup versus a righty (Zack Littell). Meadows, meanwhile, has occupied a spot in the bottom third of the order in each of his last three starts versus righties, and he'll likely need to show some improvement at the dish before manager A.J. Hinch considers moving him back up in the lineup. Meadows has mustered a woeful .167/.262/.296 batting line with one home run and two steals over 61 plate appearances since being activated.

Idle for nightcap Meadows isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Meadows will take the evening off after going 1-for-3 with a walk and scoring twice in Game 1. Zach McKinstry, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across Detroit's outfield with Meadows on the bench.

Hits first 2025 home run Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

Impact Meadows hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on, and it ended up being the difference in the contest. The young outfielder has now played 10 games since returning from the injured list and is batting just .171, though the team seems committed to letting him work off his rust. Meadows batted ninth Thursday as Baltimore opened with lefty Keegan Akin but will likely hit leadoff most days against righties, which boosts his fantasy ceiling.

Back in leadoff spot Meadows is starting in center field and batting first in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Meadows slid down to No. 9 in the order Tuesday with Baltimore starting lefty Cade Povich, but he's back in the leadoff spot against righty Zach Eflin. The outfielder, who missed the first 60 games of the year while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm, has gotten off to a bit of a slow start with a .185/.313/.296 slash line, though the Tigers seem committed to him as a fixture at the top of their lineup against righties.

Returns to lineup Thursday Meadows is starting in center field and batting first in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Meadows received a maintenance day Wednesday after making two straight starts following his return from the injured list, but he'll return for the series finale. The 25-year-old went 2-for-8 with three walks, a double, a triple, a stolen base and three runs scored across his first two starts of the year, so he's already been able to make an impact for fantasy managers in a short amount of time.

Out of Detroit lineup Meadows is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Meadows started each of the last two days upon his activation from the 60-day injured list, but he will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench as the White Sox send lefty opener Jared Shuster to the bump. It seems unlikely the left-handed-hitting Meadows will be used in a strict platoon, but manager A.J. Hinch will probably pick spots to rest the outfielder as he eases back into action. Javier Baez is in center field and batting eighth Wednesday.

Big performance in return Meadows went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

Impact Making his 2025 debut for the Tigers after missing the first 60 games while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm, Meadows jumped into the leadoff spot and appeared to be in midseason form. The 25-year-old outfielder will likely have some restrictions as the team eases him into action, but he could still be an impact player in fantasy leagues batting atop a Detroit lineup that has become quite formidable this year.

Activated ahead of season debut The Tigers activated Meadow (arm) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

Impact Meadows missed the first 60 games of the season while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm. The 25-year-old outfielder played six rehab games, going 7-for-27 with one home run and an 8:6 K:BB. While the Tigers might ease him into everyday duties following a long layoff, Meadows projects to be the team's primary center fielder for the remainder of the season.
