Meadows isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows will take the evening off after going 1-for-3 with a walk and scoring twice in Game 1. Zach McKinstry, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across Detroit's outfield with Meadows on the bench.

Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on, and it ended up being the difference in the contest. The young outfielder has now played 10 games since returning from the injured list and is batting just .171, though the team seems committed to letting him work off his rust. Meadows batted ninth Thursday as Baltimore opened with lefty Keegan Akin but will likely hit leadoff most days against righties, which boosts his fantasy ceiling.

Meadows is starting in center field and batting first in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows slid down to No. 9 in the order Tuesday with Baltimore starting lefty Cade Povich, but he's back in the leadoff spot against righty Zach Eflin. The outfielder, who missed the first 60 games of the year while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm, has gotten off to a bit of a slow start with a .185/.313/.296 slash line, though the Tigers seem committed to him as a fixture at the top of their lineup against righties.

Meadows is starting in center field and batting first in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows received a maintenance day Wednesday after making two straight starts following his return from the injured list, but he'll rejoin the lineup for the series finale. The 25-year-old went 2-for-8 with three walks, a double, a triple, a stolen base and three runs scored across his first two starts of the year, so he's already been able to make an impact for fantasy managers in a short amount of time.

Meadows is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows started both of the last two days upon his activation from the 60-day injured list, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the White Sox send lefty opener Jared Shuster to the bump. The left-handed-hitting Meadows is unlikely to be used in a strict platoon, but manager A.J. Hinch will probably pick spots to rest the outfielder as he eases back into action. Javier Baez will man center field and bat eighth Wednesday.

Meadows went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

EDGE Analysis

Making his 2025 debut for the Tigers after missing the first 60 games while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm, Meadows jumped into the leadoff spot and appeared to be in midseason form. The 25-year-old outfielder will likely have some restrictions as the team eases him into action, but he could still be an impact player in fantasy leagues batting atop a Detroit lineup that has become quite formidable this year.

The Tigers activated Meadows (arm) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows missed the first 60 games of the season while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm. The 25-year-old outfielder played six rehab games, going 7-for-27 with one home run and an 8:6 K:BB. While the Tigers might ease him into everyday duties following a long layoff, Meadows projects to be the team's primary center fielder for the remainder of the season. He's starting in center field and batting leadoff in Monday's game versus the White Sox.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said on MLB Network Radio that Meadows (arm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows has been ramping up his throwing lately as he works his way back from a nerve issue in his right arm, and he has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. The young outfielder didn't have a spring training, so the Tigers are likely to give him ample time on a rehab assignment to get sharp.

Meadows (arm) threw to bases from the outfield Wednesday and said afterward that he feels close to being ready for a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meadows hasn't played in a game since late February as he recovers from a nerve issue in his right arm. Because his absence has been so long, his rehab assignment could last for close to the full 20-day window. Still, Meadows makes for a fine stash in fantasy leagues where he's available.

Meadows (upper arm) threw out to approximately 70 feet Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per MLB.com, Meadows had already upped his throwing distance to 120 feet, though McCosky suggests Monday's throwing session was at a medium level of intensity, whereas his previous ones had been of lighter intensity. In addition to gradually ramping up his throwing program, Meadows has been taking batting practice off a pitching machine and has been involved in defensive drills, but the Tigers haven't indicated when he might be ready to embark on a rehab assignment. Meadows is on the 60-day injured list while he works his way back from right upper arm nerve discomfort and won't be eligible to make his 2025 debut until late May.
