Meadows (vertigo) went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in a 5-3 win Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
Meadows returned from the injured-list and started in right field, batting fifth. It was his first game since May 15. He may have been a bit rusty as he struck out twice after whiffing only 14 times in his first 116 plate appearances. The 27-year-old remains in search of his first home run as a Tiger.

The Tigers reinstated Meadows (vertigo) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Meadows is ready to rejoin the Tigers after he completed a four-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo last week in which he went 2-for-13 with a home run and two walks. With Meadows exhibiting no symptoms of vertigo in his return to action for the Triple-A club, he should quickly settle back into an everyday role with the Tigers.

Meadows (vertigo) isn't on track to return from the 10-day injured list during the Tigers' series in New York with the Yankees this weekend, but he could be activated ahead of Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Jason Beck of MLB.com, manager A.J. Hinch said Meadows felt great and was symptom-free following his first rehab game Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo, but the Tigers apparently want him to get in some more work in the minors before bringing him back on the 26-man roster. Meadows has been on the shelf since May 16 after experiencing symptoms of vertigo.

Meadows (vertigo) is scheduled to begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he received clearance to resume baseball activities last week at the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida, Meadows avoided any setbacks in his recovery from vertigo and will now advance to game action. The Tigers will likely want to have Meadows play more than one game in the minors before activating him from the 10-day injured list, but he should be ready to go at some point during Detroit's upcoming five-game, two-city road trip. After the Tigers wrap up their homestand this week, the team will head to New York to begin a series with the Yankees on Friday.

Meadows (illness) is expected to start his rehab assignment in the coming days, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Meadows has been away from the team since May 16 while dealing with vertigo, but manager A.J. Hinch believes that he could start a rehab assignment as soon as Wednesday. Prior to heading to the 10-day injured list, the outfielder had produced a .267 average with 11 RBI and nine runs over 101 at-bats, but he has yet to hit a homer this season. The lack of power could have been a result of the vertigo and once healthy, Meadows will look to go deep for the first time in 2022.

Meadows resumed baseball activities at Lakeland this week and has yet to experience vertigo symptoms, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was shut down after landing on the injured list May 16 with vertigo, but he's been able to hit off a high-velocity pitching machine and do some running this week. Meadows clearly still has significant work to do before beginning a rehab assignment and returning from the injured list, but restarting baseball work is a step in the right direction.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday there's no update on Meadows' (vertigo) status and that the team is "very concerned with what's going on," Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old landed on the injured list early last week after experiencing dizziness, light-headedness and nausea, and he continues to recover at his home in Florida. Meadows won't be activated when first eligible this week, and it's unclear when he may be able to rejoin the team.

The Tigers placed Meadows (vertigo) on the 10-day injured list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Manager A.J. Hinch already noted after Sunday's win over the Orioles that Meadows and fellow outfielder Victor Reyes (quadriceps) were ticketed for the IL, but the Tigers waited a day to make the transactions official. Daz Cameron was called up from Triple-A Toledo to help restore some depth in the outfield, but the Tigers are likely to proceed with Robbie Grossman, Willi Castro and Derek Hill as their everyday outfielders while Meadows is sidelined.

Meadows is being placed on the 10-day injured list after he experienced dizziness, light-headedness and nausea during Sunday's game against the Orioles, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old sat out the past couple days after experiencing dizziness stemming from an inner-ear infection, and his return to the lineup Sunday lasted only one inning before being removed. Given the nature of his issues, it's unclear exactly how long Meadows will be sidelined, though he'll be eligible to be activated May 26.

Meadows (illness) was removed from Sunday's game against the Orioles after the first inning, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has been experiencing dizziness the past couple days due to an inner-ear infection, and his return to the lineup Sunday lasted just a single inning. Meadows should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Tampa Bay.
