Maybin went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
He continues to rake since coming off the DL, and Maybin is now slashing an eye-popping .414/.474/.486 in 19 games on the season. He'll cool down eventually, but having crossed the plate 15 times already, as long as he keeps getting on base he should be an elite source of runs hitting near the top of a potent Detroit offense.

Maybin went 2-for-5 with two strikeouts during Thursday's loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin has hit safely in 14 of 16 games this season, and he's been one of the main reasons why the Tigers' offense has come to life over the past few weeks. The speedy outfielder leads the team with a .414 average this season, although this level of production is not sustainable for a player who's a career .255 hitter.

Maybin is in the lineup Wednesday, batting seventh and starting in center field against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
There was a bit of concern late Tuesday when Maybin left the game after appearing to aggravate something in his left wrist, which ultimately led to him being replaced in the field. However, Maybin told reporters after Tuesday's game that his wrist occasionally bothers him when he swings and misses. "Treatment and put the ball in play. Don't swing and miss. When I hit the ball hard, it feels fine," said Maybin to Jason Beck of MLB.com. He'll bat seventh against Angels righty Matt Shoemaker on Wednesday.

Maybin went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a walk Friday against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old outfielder hit seventh in this game, but it didn't make a difference as Maybin remains red hot at the plate. He's hit .528 with a 1.214 OPS in his first 10 games of the season, and he's reached base in each of them thus far.

Maybin went 2-for-4 with two runs against the Phillies on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin continues to spark the Tigers' lineup at the top of the order, and two more hits extended his hitting streak to eight games. Small sample size applies here, but the 29-year-old has hit safely in every game this season, and he's currently averaging a robust .571 with a 1.292 OPS.

Maybin was elevated to the leadoff spot in Tuesday's lineup after Ian Kinsler (illness) was scratched.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin was set to bat in the lower half of the order Tuesday, but manager Brad Ausmus decided to move him up to account for Kinsler's absence. Maybin has been on fire since rejoining the Tigers, going 14-for-24 (.583) with a home run and five RBI.

Maybin made a big catch early and finished 1-for-3 with a walk and three RBI in a 9-4 win over the Rays on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
He's hitting .600 (12-for-20) with five RBI and five runs scored in six games while batting in the seven hole. But manager Brad Ausmus says while Maybin could hit second in the lineup, it won't happen in the near future, regardless of how well he's hitting. J.D. Martinez, who has struggled, hits second, and Maybin's speed is more valuable right now close to the bottom of the lineup.

Maybin went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs Saturday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin's first homer of the year got the Tigers on the board in the third inning of the game they'd go on to win. Since returning from the disabled list, he's collected multiple hits in four of his five starts, and in 17 at-bats he has a .647 batting average.

Maybin continued his strong hitting since his recall last week, singling in his first three trips to the plate Friday against Tampa Bay and stealing a base.
EDGE Analysis
In four games since his activation, Maybin is 8-for-13 (.615) and he's hit safely in all four games he's played. Maybin has never lived up to his promise as a prospect, but he has carved out a niche as a good-glove, speed man. There may be room for him as a spot starter on your roster while he's playing this well.

Maybin (wrist) was activated from the disabled list and is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin has missed the entire season up to this point, but his wrist held up through a rehab assignment, allowing him to reclaim his spot in center field that was originally held by Anthony Gose, who was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. Maybin is batting seventh and playing center field Monday, and although this may not be his permanent spot in the batting order, his opportunities for scoring and driving in runs may be limited for the time being as he hits down in the order.
