Adduci (oblique) was activated from the 10-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adduci is healthy again after being sidelined since late April with the oblique injury and has already completed eight rehab games with Toledo, but the Tigers didn't have room for both him and fellow reserve outfielder Alex Presley (concussion), who was also activated Wednesday. As a result, Adduci will have to continue to bide his time with Toledo until another injury to an outfielder or first baseman opens up a spot with the big club.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Tuesday that Adduci (oblique) will require more at-bats during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adduci has already appeared in seven games with Toledo and hasn't reported any setbacks with his oblique, but since it's uncertain if the Tigers have a spot open for him on the 25-man roster, he'll continue to remain on assignment while the organization mulls its options. Though the 32-year-old doesn't have much of a track record of prior big-league success, he thrived after he joined the Tigers in late April, posting a .388 on-base percentage in 49 plate appearances prior to hitting the 10-day disabled list.

Adduci (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Adduci has been steadily progressing through regular baseball activities over the past couple weeks and appears ready to take the field again. Manager Brad Ausmus said the outfielder would need between 30 and 40 at-bats during his assignment, so don't expect him back with the Tigers until sometime in mid-July.

EDGE Analysis

Adduci recently began taking batting practice and running the bases and is nearly ready to begin participating in live games.

Adduci (oblique) is set to take batting practice and run the bases Saturday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old, who has been sidelined since May 11 with an oblique strain, appears to be turning a corner in his rehab. If Adduci is able to get through the increased activities without a hitch, he could be cleared to set out on a minor-league rehab assignment as early as next week.

Adduci (oblique) hit off a tee Monday but still is not expected to return to action anytime soon, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adduci is progressing very slowly in his recovery process, signaling that he may not be ready for action until the end of June at the earliest. Even once he ramps up his baseball activities enough to be near a return, there isn't any room for him to play regularly at the big-league level with Justin Upton, Alex Presley and J.D. Martinez entrenched into starting roles at the moment.

Adduci (oblique) performed light tossing on the field Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks the first baseball activity Adduci has been able to partake in since injuring his oblique earlier in the month. It seems like he's still a ways away from returning to action, but a better timetable for his return should come forth once he progresses further in his recovery process.

Adduci, who was placed on the disabled list May 12 with a right oblique strain, is expected to be sidelined for more than the 10-day minimum, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. "It's getting better," Adduci said of the injury. "It's just not going as fast as everyone would like."

EDGE Analysis

Adduci noted that he's never experienced a core-muscle injury before and only received began a treatment program to combat the soreness. Oblique injuries can often carry volatile recovery timetables, so it will be difficult to project when Adduci might be activated until he resumes baseball activities.

Adduci was placed on the 10-day disabled list Friday (retroactive to 5/11) with a right oblique strain.

EDGE Analysis

Adduci's deactivation makes way for J.D. Martinez (foot) to return to the lineup Friday. The 31-year-old was batting .318/.388/.500 over 49 plate appearances with the Tigers, and his absence will create a center field mix of Tyler Collins, Andrew Romine and Mikie Mahtook.
