Overview

  • Parker Meadows was reinstated from the 60-day injured list and made his season debut batting leadoff and playing center field against the White Sox.
  • He missed Opening Day after a Spring Training musculocutaneous nerve injury sidelined him since February 22 and required the nerve to fully regain function.
  • Meadows completed an eight-game Minor League rehab assignment with Lakeland and Triple-A Toledo, hitting .259 with two triples, a double, a home run and five RBIs.
  • To clear room on the 40-man roster, Detroit optioned outfielder/DH Justyn-Henry Malloy to Triple-A Toledo and designated right-handed reliever Ryan Cusick for assignment.
  • With the Tigers holding MLB’s best record at 39-21, his return should stabilize center field after Detroit rotated half a dozen players, including Javier Báez and Riley Greene.
