With the Tigers’ lineup finally healthy for the most part, you’re going to start seeing more days off for regulars in the lineup as manager A.J. Hinch attempts to work everybody in. Meadows has struggled since his return from the injured list, slashing a disappointing .181/.263/.319 with a pair of homers, seven RBI and two stolen bases in 80 plate appearances. Matt Vierling will start in Meadows’ place in center field on Saturday.

We figured McKinstry’s .627 OPS in May would be more representative of the rest of his season than his .888 mark from April, but he’s bounced back nicely this month, coming in at .938 so far. He also has seven steals after collecting only three over the first two months. His exit velocity numbers don’t entirely back up his success so far, but to date, he’s been one of the two best position players on one of baseball’s two best teams.

Byron Buxton’s two-run homer in the third was the only damage. Ryan Jeffers almost had a solo shot an inning earlier, but Kerry Carpenter made a leaping catch at the wall. Mize struck out five in spite of having only eight whiffs and a 21% CSW. He still hasn’t allowed more than four runs in a start this season, and he’s given up three earned only three times in 14 starts. He’ll probably make his next start Friday in Cleveland.

He also robbed what might have been a homer in the second inning, yet the Tigers still pinch-hit for him against a lefty with an 8-4 in the eighth. Carpenter has been pretty quiet since his three-homer game against the White Sox on June 2, going 10-for-59 with two homers and a 17/0 K/BB ratio. He’s never been much for walks, but his 60/7 K/BB in 277 plate appearances this season is atrocious. He finished at 75/22 in 296 plate appearances last year.

Buxton has been eliminated from the fan vote, but it’d be nuts if he’s not an All-Star for the second time next month. He’s up to 19 homers and 51 RBI, which are both tied for the second-highest totals of his career; he had 28 homers in 92 games in 2022 and 56 RBI in 102 games last season. He also stole his 15th base today, which stands alone as his second-highest total behind the 29 he had in his one relatively full season in 2017. He’s currently third in the AL and seventh in the majors with a .927 OPS.

The Phillies are starting a tough left-hander in Jesus Luzardo on Saturday night, so it makes sense why the Braves would want to get Harris a breather. The 24-year-old outfielder has been one of the biggest disappointments in baseball this season, slashing a dreadful .212/.238/.320 with six homers, 43 RBI, 11 stolen bases and a 68/10 K/BB ratio over his first 326 plate appearances. Eli White will man center field in his absence on Saturday.

A second opinion on Friday confirmed that surgery would be required to repair the issue. The Brewers are optimistic that he’ll still be able to return at some point before the 2025 season comes to a close, but a clear timeline won’t be known until after he undergoes the procedure.
