The Tigers recalled Faedo from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Though he was optioned to Toledo following his May 10 start against the Athletics, Faedo is eligible to rejoin the big club before the minimum 10 days after Detroit placed outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Faedo has looked good across his first two big-league starts, covering five frames both times out while allowing a combined total of four earned runs on 12 hits and three walks. Assuming he doesn't completely implode Monday in his first career road start, Faedo should stick in the rotation and pick up his second start of the week Sunday in Cleveland.

Faedo will start Monday against the Rays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo's last two appearances have come in the majors, but both came during doubleheaders, so the Tigers were allowed to send him to the minors between starts. He'll be up as a normal member of the roster for Monday's start, so the Tigers will have to make a decision at that point about whether or not he'll remain in the big leagues.

The Tigers are expected to recall Faedo from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After being designated as the 27th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Athletics, Faedo was the obvious choice to move off the 26-man active roster after the twin bill was completed. Before heading back to the minors, however, Faedo delivered another promising five-inning effort, allowing just two runs and striking out seven in a loss. With all of Matt Manning (shoulder), Casey Mize (elbow) and Tyler Alexander (elbow) still on the injured list, Faedo should be on track to make a third straight turn through the big-league rotation. Detroit will need to place another player on an injured or inactive list by Monday in order to make room on the active roster for Faedo's return.

Faedo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday's doubleheader against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old started Game 2 of the twin bill and allowed only two earned runs over five innings, but he was charged with the loss since Detroit managed only one run. It's not a surprise Faedo is returning to Toledo since he was the 27th man for the doubleheader, but he likely pitched well enough to earn another look in the rotation later this season.

Faedo (0-1) allowed just two runs on four hits across five innings but took the loss in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics. He walked two and struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Making his second career start, Faedo once again allowed two runs across five innings. However, the righty improved upon the one strikeout he had in that previous outing last Wednesday. Faedo has so far been used as an extra starter during doubleheaders, though the 26-year-old could push for a more regular rotation spot if he continues to pitch well. He's currently slated to start again versus the Rays on Monday, but the Tigers are also waiting on the returns of Matt Manning (shoulder), Tyler Alexander (elbow) and Casey Mize (elbow) in the next few weeks, so Faedo will likely shift back to Triple-A Toledo at some point.

Faedo was called up as expected ahead of his scheduled start in the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader against Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo made his major-league debut in the nightcap of a doubleheader against the Pirates on Wednesday, escaping with two runs allowed in five innings despite striking out just one batter and giving up eight hits. He'll face another of the league's lesser lineups in his second career start.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that Faedo will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader with the Athletics in Detroit, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie right-hander will be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill, just as he was for the Tigers' recent doubleheader last week against the Pirates. He made his MLB debut that day, working five innings and allowing two runs en route to taking a no-decision in Game 2 of the doubleheader. Detroit will call up Joey Wentz from Triple-A Toledo to start Wednesday against Oakland, and either he or Faedo is expected to stay in the rotation the next time the Tigers require a fifth starter May 16 in Tampa Bay.

Faedo, who was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, is expected to be recalled from Toledo to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Athletics in Detroit, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers plan to designated Faedo as their 27th man for the twin bill, just as they did for their doubleheader last Wednesday against the Pirates. Faedo made his MLB debut in the second game that day versus Pittsburgh, taking a no-decision after working five innings and giving up two runs on eight hits and a walk. Assuming he gets another starting nod against Oakland, Faedo will likely be sent back to Toledo immediately after the outing.

Faedo allowed two runs on eight hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates. He walked one and struck out one.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo played with fire a bit by allowing nearly two baserunners per inning, but he limited damage in his MLB debut. The 26-year-old dealt with Tommy John surgery as well as the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so his ascension to the majors hit a few roadblocks the past couple years. An extra arm was needed for Wednesday's doubleheader, and the Tigers have another doubleheader set for Tuesday against the Athletics, so Faedo may get another turn. But after that, he'll likely head back to Triple-A Toledo.

The Tigers announced that Faedo will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to serve as Detroit's starting pitcher for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The 2017 first-round selection will be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill and make his MLB debut in the nightcap while Michael Pineda takes the hill for Game 1. Dating back to the end of the 2019 season, Faedo has tossed just 15.2 innings in affiliated ball, with Tommy John surgery plus the cancellation of the 2020 minor-league season due to the COVID-19 pandemic conspiring to keep him off the mound. However, Faedo looked plenty healthy in his debut for Toledo on April 27, covering five scoreless innings while striking out eight. Ideally, the Tigers would give Faedo more time to stretch out at Triple-A, but he'll be summoned to the big leagues due to Detroit being down several other starting pitchers as it begins a stretch of 17 games in 15 days. Faedo will likely be optioned back to the minors following the doubleheader.
