Joining big-league club The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Impact Kreidler will take Javier Baez's (back/hip) spot on the active roster as Baez heads to the injured list. Kreidler could find himself on the short side of a platoon with Trey Sweeney at shortstop for the Tigers. Kreidler slashed .136/.208/.205 in 48 plate appearances with Detroit this season.

Might be added to roster Kreidler has joined the Tigers in Chicago for their series versus the Cubs and could be added to the roster if Javier Baez needs to go on the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of...

Impact Baez is undergoing tests for an undisclosed injury and the club has summoned Kreidler in case a transaction is needed. Kreidler could get some reps at shortstop versus lefties if Baez needs to miss time, but Trey Sweeney would be in line for the bulk of the starts at the position.

Sent back to Toledo The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Impact Kreidler appeared in two games for the big club since being called up from Toledo on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a stolen base. For the season, he's slashing .136/.208/.205 with three stolen bases, one home run and two RBI across 48 major-league plate appearances. The move makes room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Parker Meadows (hamstring), who was reinstated off the 10-day injured list.

Recalled from Triple-A The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Kreidler will provide some infield depth while Javier Baez (personal) is away. He's hit just .153/.215/.206 over parts of three seasons at the big-league level.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Javier Baez is back from the injured list, which means Kreidler's playing time was about to dry up. Kreidler will now go back to receiving everyday reps at a variety of positions at Toledo.

JULY 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting bench Sunday Kreidler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

Impact Kreidler had started at shortstop in both of the past two games and four of the previous six games overall, but he'll give way to Zach McKinstry in the series finale. Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on June 11, Kreidler has produced a weak .405 OPS over 18 games, so he won't have much of a case for seeing regular playing time once Javier Baez (spine) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week.

JULY 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits first 2024 home run Kreidler went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.

Impact It was a rare display of power for Kreidler, who hit his first home run since the 2022 season. The utility man has been seeing more time at shortstop recently with Javier Baez (back) on the injured list, though Zach McKinstry has the slight edge in playing time at the moment. Neither player is a great offensive option, and fantasy managers can mostly look elsewhere, particularly with Baez beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday and likely back soon.

JULY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes two bases Tuesday Kreidler went 2-for-2 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.

Impact Kreidler stole the first two bases of his MLB career in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old has mostly been a bench player in the majors, so while Tuesday's effort was promising, it looks to be an outlier. Zach McKinstry should get most of the playing time at shortstop in the near future with Javier Baez (back) still on the injured list, pushing Kreidler to a reserve role most days.

JUNE 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recovering from finger surgery The Tigers announced that Kreidler underwent surgery April 11 to address a fractured right index finger, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Kreidler has been taking part in daily rehab since getting surgery but is without a clear timeline to return to action for Triple-A Toledo. The 26-year-old infielder possesses a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster but will remain on Toledo's injured list for the time being.

APRIL 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to injured list Kreidler (hand) was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kreidler was unavailable the past few days due to the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next week. He was sent for medical testing Sunday, the result of which remain unclear.

APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to hand injury Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Kreidler hasn't been available for Triple-A Toledo since Thursday after being hit in the hand by a pitch, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hinch noted that Kreidler is undergo further testing as the Tigers look to learn more about the extent of the injury. The 26-year-old infielder went hitless in his first 10 at-bats of the season with Toledo before getting hit in the hand.

APRIL 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to action at Triple-A Kreidler (core) has gone 3-for-13 with a double and a stolen base in three games for Triple-A Toledo since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Kreidler rejoined the Toledo lineup Thursday for his first appearance with the affiliate since April 26 after a prolonged absence due to knee soreness and then core-muscle surgery. The 25-year-old infielder remains on the Tigers' 40-man roster and could be in the mix for a late-season call-up if he can stay healthy at Triple-A and produce well at the plate.

AUGUST 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rehabbing at Single-A Kreidler (abdomen) moved his rehab assignment to Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run in his first game with the affiliate.

Impact Kreidler remains on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list but appears on track to be activated this week or next. He hit .300 with three home runs, two stolen bases and 12 RBI in eight games for Toledo before being deactivated in late April after picking up a knee injury and then undergoing core-muscle surgery.

Detroit Tigers' Ryan Kreidler undergoes another surgery; Jackson Jobe throws to hitters Detroit Tigers infielder Ryan Kreidler, a former fourth-round pick, underwent a core muscle surgery on June 6.

Recovering from core-muscle surgery The Tigers announced Wednesday that Kreidler (knee) recently underwent core-muscle surgery, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Kreidler was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list April 28 due to knee soreness, but he was cleared to begin a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan just under a month later. He played in five games in the Midwest League before being pulled off the assignment two weeks ago, presumably on account of the core-muscle injury. Kreidler is in the midst of daily treatment and is taking part in physical therapy following the recent procedure, but he's without a clear timeline to resume playing in games.

JUNE 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting rehab assignment Kreidler (knee) is beginning a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Kreidler has been on the injured list at Triple-A Toledo all month because of a sore knee. He'll rejoin Toledo once he's deemed ready but could push to rejoin the major-league club at some point sooner rather than later.

MAY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on Triple-A injured list Triple-A Toledo placed Kreidler on its 7-day injured list Friday due to knee soreness, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Kreidler likely would have been in consideration for a call-up to the big leagues after Kerry Carpenter (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, but Kreidler's own knee issue explains why the Tigers opted to promote Zack Short from Triple-A to fill the vacancy on the 26-man active roster. Provided Kreider's knee injury isn't anything more than soreness, he should be ready to return to action with Toledo within the next two weeks. After being optioned to Triple-A on April 15, Kreidler had slashed .300/.382/.600 across 34 plate appearances in his first eight games with Toledo.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A Kreidler was optioned Saturday to Triple-A Toledo.

Impact Kreidler was just 2-for-18 (.111) with two singles and seven strikeouts through 11 games this season with Detroit.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Making third straight start Kreidler is starting at second base and batting ninth for the Tigers in Thursday's home opener versus the Red Sox.

Impact It's the third straight start for Kreidler, with two of them coming at second base and one at shortstop. One of those starts came against a righty, but for the most part he seems to be in a short-side platoon with Zach McKinstry. Kreidler is 2-for-11 at the plate so far this season.

APRIL 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seems likely to make team With the Tigers optioning Akil Baddoo and Zack Short to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Kreidler has a clearer path to an Opening Day roster spot.

Impact Kreidler is versatile enough to play across the infield and in the outfield, and that appeared to give him the edge over Baddoo and Short. Even if he sticks on the roster into the regular season, Kreidler is unlikely to have a huge fantasy impact after recording a .477 OPS across 26 games with the Tigers last year.

Final Tigers roster projection: Does Ryan Kreidler make the infield? Competitions for the final spots on the bench and in the bullpen will come down to the wire.

MARCH 27, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Productive Sunday Kreidler went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.

Impact Batting second, Kreidler made his presence felt. The infielder is battling for a reserve role this spring, though he'd likely make the team based on his defensive versatility, as he batted just .178 in 26 games for the Tigers in 2022. However, Kreidler looked better in the box at the Triple-A level the last two seasons, so perhaps he can improve his offensive production in the majors. Even if that happens, Kreidler will remain off the fantasy radar unless he's able to secure regular playing time.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could earn reserve role Kreidler may make the Tigers' Opening Day roster in a reserve role, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact The Tigers have some roster uncertainty, particularly with Nick Maton and Matt Vierling coming over in the trade for reliever Gregory Soto. Kreidler played in 26 games for Detroit last year and batted just .178, though his defensive versatility could help him carve out a utility role off the bench. The righty Kreidler could also settle into a platoon role at second or third, possibly with the left-handed-hitting Maton.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Sunday Kreidler is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Kreidler picks up a start with Javier Baez getting the day game off. The rookie is stuck in a reserve role and is slashing just .190/.243/.254 this season, so he doesn't figure to offer a ton of fantasy value Sunday. He'll likely have to settle for a similar role in 2023 with Baez locked up on a six-year deal that he signed last offseason.
