Will Vest will undergo further evaluation and testing after being removed from Sunday’s relief appearance against the Reds with a right pinky finger issue.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Vest was immediately lifted from Sunday’s contest when he experienced something in his pinky finger after uncorking a wild pitch. He added that the 30-year-old righty will undergo a battery of tests to determine the severity of the issue. There should be an update on his status ahead of Tuesday’s series opener against the Pirates. It’s unclear whether he’ll require a trip to the injured list yet. Any sort of extended absence would likely result in Tommy Kahnle taking over the ninth-inning duties for Detroit.

Parker Meadows was 0-for-3 before being lifted for a pinch-hitter Sunday against the Reds.

It doesn’t seem like a good sign that the Tigers had fellow left-handed hitter Colt Keith hit in Meadows’ place against a right-hander, but it’s understandable, given that Meadows is just 6-for-42 since coming off the injured list. The good news is that Meadows’ exit velocity numbers are actually better than usual; he came into the day a 92.3 mph average exit velocity, a .262 xBA and a .499 xSLG. His defense will help keep him in the lineup until his luck changes on offense.

Sawyer Gipson-Long allowed one run in three innings and got a no-decision against the Reds on Sunday.

Gipson-Long gave up three hits, walked one and struck out two. The 27-year-old right-hander entered the game in the second inning after the Tigers used reliever Tyler Holton as an opener. This was Gipson-Long’s third appearance for the Tigers this year and second with an opener. The Tigers actually used two openers in front of Gipson-Long against the Orioles earlier this week. The openers appear to be part of a plan not to overextend Gipson-Long, who is returning from Tommy John surgery, but are also beneficial for his fantasy value. He’s set to make his next appearance against the Rays on the road next weekend.

Marcus Semien went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI on Sunday afternoon as the Rangers eked out a one-run victory over the visiting White Sox.

Semien drove in a run with a sacrifice fly off of Aaron Civale in the fifth inning that would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. He also doubled with two outs in the seventh inning but was left stranded there. He has picked up the pace offensively in recent weeks, but is still slashing a miserable .224/.305/.336 overall on the season with seven homers, 30 RBI and six stolen bases.

Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and a two-run home run against the Angels on Sunday.

Matt McLain went 2-for-5 with two runs scored against the Tigers on Sunday.

Batting in the No. 2 spot in the order Sunday, McClain managed two hits and two runs scored in the win over the Tigers. The 25-year-old second baseman is still hitting just .191 on the season, but appears to be making some positive strides at the plate so far in June. Reclaiming a regular spot in the top third of the batting order would go a long way for his fantasy value over the rest of the season.
