Maybin will be activated from the 15-day disabled list Monday, Chris Iott of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin has been getting in some work with Triple-A Toledo recently but is hitting just .188/.317/.365 with them. The corresponding move will likely involve either Steven Moya or Anthony Gose, but that is set to be announced prior to Monday's game. The likely scenario following Maybin's activation involves him taking on an everyday role in center field, with Justin Upton shifting back over to left.

Maybin (wrist/shoulder) is expected to play in the field Saturday for Triple-A Toledo for the third straight day and "very likely" will be activated by the Tigers in the team's upcoming homestand, reports the Detroit Free Press.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin is in his third minor league rehab assignment -- the first was for a fractured wrist in spring training and the next two were because of a sore right shoulder that he banged up during the first rehab stint. Maybin will likely platoon with Anthony Gose in center when he returns. He's a lock to face lefties, but Gose's struggles could mean Maybin gets a chunk of time against righties, too. Justin Upton has played the last three games in centerfield for Detroit, but isn't a long-term option there, despite holding his own out there.

Maybin (wrist) is still just hitting during his rehab assignment and isn't a likely candidate to be called up for the upcoming three-game series in Washington, reports MLive.com.
EDGE Analysis
"Cam's throwing - he's throwing out to 120 feet - but he's still got a little bit of soreness, at least he did as of yesterday," manager Brad Ausmus said Saturday. "He's really got to play center before he comes back from rehab." The Tigers will exercise caution with Maybin, who is hitting .235 with one home run and seven RBI in 51 at-bats with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. He suffered a set-back around the time the Tigers last called him up.

Maybin (wrist) could play center field for the first time during his rehab assignment Friday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin has been limited to designated hitting duties since resuming his rehab assignment last week, but the Tigers are hoping that he's progressed far enough in his rehab that he can man his main position. This advancement is dependent on how he feels after throwing the ball during batting practice, but if he can get into the outfield for the game, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus thinks that he could return to Detroit fairly quickly.

Maybin (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin suffered a hairline fracture in his left wrist at the beginning of spring training and has yet to play in a game this season. The 29-year-old appears to be close to fully healthy and will likely step into the starting center field role upon his return to the big leagues. Maybin hit .267/.327/.370 with 10 home runs, 59 RBI, and 23 stolen bases in 2015.

Maybin's MRI on his shoulder revealed no structural damage and he's expected to restart his rehab in five days, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin's rehab was put on halt after the shoulder injury, but it appears he's avoided a major setback. While it will likely result in his timetable being pushed back slightly. Expect further updates on the speedster as he makes more progress but Maybin should take on the primary role in center field when he returns to the Tigers.

Maybin aggravating his shoulder injury while making a diving catch during a rehab game Saturday at Triple-A Toledo and will undergo an MRI in Detroit on Sunday, Matthew Mowery of The Oakland Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Brad Ausmus said the team wouldn't comment on the severity of Maybin's setback until the results of the MRI are read, but it's a discouraging development for the outfielder, who first suffered the shoulder injury in the offseason when he slipped on an icy porch. Maybin was expected to contend for starting center field duties upon returning from the DL, but any unfortunate MRI results would solidify Anthony Gose's hold on the regular gig at that position.

Maybin (wrist) will begin another rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, reports MLive.com.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin was recalled Wednesday, but had remained on the disabled list. The healing process for his wrist had been slow and he suffered a setback in his progress when he was hit by a pitch near the original injury during his last rehab stint earlier in April. Fingers crossed Maybin's return is not interrupted again.

Maybin (wrist) was recalled from his rehab assignment Wednesday but he will remain on the disabled list.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin had a bit of a setback over the weekend when he was hit in the same wrist he fractured early on in spring training. According to ESPN's Katie Strang, Maybin will be given a few days off to rest his wrist before getting back into the lineup down at Triple-A Toledo. In all likelihood, Maybin will need a few more outings during his rehab assignment to show that his wrist is ready for game action before the Tigers activate him from the DL.

Maybin's test results on his wrist came back negative, and he's expected to resume his rehab stint at Triple-A Toledo soon, John Wagner of The Blade reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maybin, who is rehabbing from a fractured left wrist suffered in spring training, was hit in the same wrist Sunday. This was a slight setback for the veteran, who was expected to return to the majors in April. Maybin missed Toledo's game Monday but is expected to resume baseball activities soon.
