Drew Carlton remains on 40-man roster. To make room for Vest?s reinstatement, Casey Mize was moved to 60-day injured list. It?s basically procedural, since Mize was placed on IL April 15.

talk about a shitty lineup...they have the two Castros in the top 3. They are both AAAA players.

Looks like Schoop doesn't want to lose his job

Disagree, Harold Castro is a good hitter.

 

[kalinecountry]

Jonathan Schoop has four RBIs thru two innings: Half on a two-run HR, the other on a spinning grounder that bounced behind Jorge Polanco at 2B. 4-0 Tigers. That ties him for most RBIs by a Tiger in a game this season with Javier Baez from April 26 at Twins.

Kody Clemens lined out to LF in his first MLB at-bat. 91.6 exit velocity.

Joey Wentz 41 pitches 1 hit 3 K's.

 

[kalinecountry]

Joey Wentz was rolling thru Twins lineup thru four innings on one hit and four strikeouts, and a fastball in mid-90s. Then he winced on a 2-1 cutter to leadoff batter in fifth. He has exited this game. Enter Wily Peralta.

Tigers 4 - 0 after 5 innings.

I have never seen so many injuries to starting pitchers than this team. Just insane

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers get the Split.

 

[biggunsbob]

Tigers just can?t stay healthy.

 

[coulomb]

F You twinks,

Tigers with the goose egg win.

 

[gotime909]

14-27 when Miggy plays

5-3 without him in lineup

 

[Mitchrapp]

Coincident since he is one of our better hitters. Also agree Harold can hit. He has other shortcomings but he can hit.

Disagree, Harold Castro is a good hitter.

ok...I'll give you that he's a pretty good hitter against RH pitching. He can't hit LH pitching and he's a terrible defensive player. He's a utility infielder that can't play defense.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not many PA this season vs LH but Harold is batting .364 with a 1.053 OPS. Again not a lot of chances and his career not so good but so far on this 2022 team he's more than a utility player. And so far he's probably average or slightly above on his defense.

.230 BA and .512 OPS career vs LH pitching...and over his career he has been below average defensively using almost any metric...negative WAR, DRS, etc.

I think I said that but in 2022 I'd take him.

Kody Clemens will start in left field tomorrow June 1st, A.J. Hinch said.

"Another day, another injury," A.J. Hinch said to begin his postgame presser.
Hinch said Joey Wentz's injury was more related to his lower neck. He will undergo more tests.
