Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday's loss to the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron has been with the big-league club the past five days but appeared in only one game, going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and two strikeouts. He'll return to Toledo, where he went 4-for-24 with 10 strikeouts over the first six games of the season.

Cameron went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

He accounted for Detroit's only run of the day, coming home on a Dustin Garneau double after drawing a free pass and swiping second with two outs in the second inning. Cameron was getting the start in center field with southpaw Kris Bubic on the mound for Kansas City, and he could serve on the short side of a platoon with Akil Baddoo for the time being. Some time over the summer, however, top prospect Riley Greene (foot) will claim center for himself once he's healthy and the Tigers decide he's ready for his big-league debut.

Cameron is starting in center field and batting seventh in Saturday's game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

Kansas City is starting lefty Kris Bubic, so the Tigers will shift Akil Baddoo and Austin Meadows to the bench, opening up a spot for Cameron in center. The 25-year-old just joined the MLB roster Friday and hasn't recorded an at-bat yet this season.

Cameron was recalled by the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron will replace starting pitcher Casey Mize, who landed on the injured list with a sprained right elbow. His stay on the roster may be a brief one, as Derek Hill (hamstring) could return soon. Cameron has hit just .194/.259/.325 through 52 career major-league games.

The Tigers optioned Cameron to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron turned in an .820 OPS over his eight spring games heading into Monday, but that solid showing over a small sample wasn't enough to override what's been a rather unremarkable body of work at the MLB level over parts of the past two seasons. In 174 career MLB plate appearances, Cameron has produced a .194/.259/.325 slash line with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate. The Tigers will let him play on an everyday basis at Toledo to begin the 2022 campaign, but he should be near the top of the list for a promotion if the big club needs another outfielder at any point.

Cameron went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron is likely looking at a reserve outfield role at best to begin the season, as the Tigers have the likes of Robbie Grossman, Akil Baddoo and top prospect Riley Greene as potential starters. Cameron didn't do much to earn more playing time in 2021, posting a .194/.278/.359 slash line across 35 games, so a good spring would help his standing in the organization.

Cameron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's 5-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron split time between Triple-A Toledo and the major-league club this year, but he started each of the final three games of the regular season and recorded hits in each of those appearances. The 24-year-old played in 35 big-league games during the 2021 campaign and hit .194 with four homers, 16 runs, 13 RBI and six stolen bases.

Cameron is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The righty-hitting Cameron will take a seat Monday versus southpaw Dallas Keuchel, an indication that Cameron may be falling out of favor even as a short-side platoon player in the outfield. Since returning to the majors just over a week ago, Cameron has appeared in five games and has gone 3-for-11 with a 2:6 BB:K.

Cameron will sit Saturday against Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron started two games in a row to begin the week but has now been on the bench for two straight. Robbie Grossman will again move to right field while Akil Baddoo starts in left.

Cameron is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron started a pair of games in right field but will now retreat to the bench despite the fact that he went 3-for-5 with two walks and a steal in those games. Akil Baddoo, Victor Reyes and Robbie Grossman will be the outfielders for the Tigers.
