Tigers’ manager A.J. Hinch told reporters on Thursday that Reese Olson (finger) will require one final minor league rehab start before rejoining the Tigers’ starting rotation.

The 25-year-old hurler threw 58 pitches his last time out at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday and they want him to be stretched out a bit more before jumping back into the big league rotation. Olson has been shelved since mid-May due to inflammation in his right ring finger. That means Keider Montero and Sawyer Gipson-Long should stick around for at least another week in the club’s rotation.

Casey Mize was removed from Sunday’s start against the Rays for precautionary reasons due to cramping.

It’s a massive relief that Mize is not hurt after experiencing some diminished velocity prior to leaving Sunday’s start in the sixth inning. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he dealt with some cramping with temperatures in the 90’s and the heat index touching triple digits in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old righty should be ready to take the ball on Saturday against the Twins.

Parker Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

Meadows has gotten off to a slow start this season, slashing .172/.262/.345 with two home runs and seven RBI. However, he did miss three months with a nerve issue in his arm, so some rust should be expected. He came into today with a 90.3 mph average exit velocity and 7.7 percent barrel rate with an above-average swinging strike rate and contact rate. His defense is going to keep him in the lineup, so we expect him to continue rounding into form. Don’t give up on him yet.

Byron Buxton went 3-for-5 with a walk, a stolen base and two solo home runs against the Brewers on Sunday.

Buxton’s two home runs give him 17 on the season. He hit a solo shot off Quinn Priester in the first inning and another solo shot off Abner Uribe in the sixth inning. Buxton has two two-homer games in his last four games and has hit six home runs over his last six games. He’s hitting .285 with a .928 OPS and 47 RBI on the year.

Byron Buxton went 3-for-5 with a walk and two solo home runs against the Brewers on Sunday.

Sam Haggerty went 2-for-3 with a walk and a double in a loss to the Pirates on Sunday.

Haggerty has been playing regularly for the Rangers and will likely continue to do so with Jake Burger sidelined and Josh Smith playing more first base. The 31-year-old is slashing .280/.350/.441 with two home runs and five steals on the season. He could be a short-term add in deeper formats.
