Cameron went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run Friday agains the White Sox that tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

He took closer Liam Hendriks deep to the opposite field for his first career home run in the majors. Cameron has one home run and one steal in six plate appearances after putting up impressive numbers at Triple-A. Particularly noteworthy is the fact he logged a 17.6 percent strikeout rate while hitting .338/.400/.558 with two home runs and three steals in 18 games for the Mud Hens. If he continues to perform capably, there should be playing time available, and his combination of power and speed could move the needle in deeper roto leagues.

The Tigers recalled Cameron from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Thursday's game against the Mariners. He'll start in center field and bat sixth in his 2021 big-league debut, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron will join the active roster as a replacement for injured outfielder Derek Hill (shoulder) after contributing a .338/.400/.558 slash line with nine extra-base hits and three stolen bases in 85 plate appearances at Triple-A this season. In his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, Cameron struggled to make consistent contact (32.2 percent strikeout rate) and submitted a lowly .220 on-base average, but the Tigers are hoping his latest trip to the majors goes more smoothly. Though he'll draw into the lineup Thursday against Mariners lefty Justus Sheffield, the right-handed-hitting Cameron could have to settle for short-side platoon duty in center field with the lefty-hitting Akil Baddoo while Hill is on the mend.

Cameron (wrist) was activated from the injured list and started in center field Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old was sidelined for the start of the minor-league season by a fractured right wrist, but he's in the lineup for the Mud Hens on Wednesday. Cameron made his big-league debut with Detroit last season and had a .193/.220/.263 slash line in 17 games.

Cameron was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron may have picked up the injury while playing at the Tigers' alternate training site over the past few weeks after he failed to crack the Opening Day roster. A formal target date for Cameron's return to game action hasn't been established, but Jason Beck of MLB.com relays that the Tigers anticipate the outfielder will be ready to play in a couple of weeks.

Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old missed the first couple weeks of camp with an elbow injury and was unable to crack the Opening Day roster. Cameron made his big-league debut for the Tigers last season and posted a .193/.220/.263 slash line in 59 plate appearances, and he's a strong bet to return to the majors at some point in 2021.

Cameron (elbow) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Phillies, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron has been brought along slowly this spring due to the elbow injury he suffered during Winter League, but he took his first two at-bats of the spring Friday and will be in the lineup for the first time a day later. Cameron will be eased into action as the designated hitter, but it should not be long before he is back in his customary spot in the outfield.

Cameron (elbow) will take live batting practice Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron has dealt with a right elbow issue since before camp, but he's nearing his spring debut. If all goes well during his live batting practice, he's scheduled to take at-bats as the designated hitter Friday before starting Saturday's game in that role. Although the 24-year-old hasn't been cleared for outfield work, he appears to be progressing well in his recovery.

Cameron (elbow) will take live batting practice next week and could get into a game as a designated hitter by the end of the week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron has been dealing with a right elbow issue since before camp began. While he's expected to start hitting soon, he's not yet cleared to play the outfield. Cameron was already facing a potentially difficult battle to claim an Opening Day roster spot after posting a .483 OPS in his 17-game debut last season, and the lost practice time this spring can't help his chances even if he's fully cleared to play soon.

Cameron (elbow) was tracking pitches but not swinging Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cameron has been limited to begin spring training due to a right elbow injury he sustained while playing in Puerto Rico during the offseason. The 24-year-old hasn't yet resumed a full throwing program, but manager AJ Hinch was hopeful he'd be able to take batting practice within the coming days. Cameron will likely be back to full speed in time for Opening Day, but he could have to settle for a backup role in the outfield if he doesn't get enough opportunities during spring training.

Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Sunday that Cameron remains limited due to the right elbow injury he sustained while playing in Puerto Rico during the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hinch noted that while Cameron is taking part in team meetings along with batting and running drills, the 24-year-old has not yet been cleared to resume a full throwing program. Cameron isn't believed to have experienced any setbacks in his recovery from the injury, so the Tigers are seemingly just ramping him up gradually in the early stages of spring training. Cameron should be back to full health by Opening Day, but the elbow injury may be enough to keep him from the outside looking in for the Tigers' starting center field job.
