The Tigers outrighted Vilade from the 40-man roster Monday after clearing waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade spent most of the 2024 regular season with Triple-A Toledo, and across 108 games he slashed .278/.346/.449 with 20 stolen bases, 13 home runs and 64 RBI over 442 plate appearances. He did appear in 17 regular-season games for the Tigers and went 8-for-45 with one home run and five RBI.

The Tigers optioned Vilade to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade is making room on the active roster for Kerry Carpenter's return from the injured list. Vilade has managed just a .453 OPS over 17 contests in the majors in 2024.

Vilade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade had started in right field in each of the past three games, but he went hitless with five strikeouts in nine at-bats and is now slashing .178/.208/.244 over 49 plate appearances with the Tigers on the season. With Matt Vierling (back) returning to the lineup at designated hitter Sunday and likely to return to the outfield in the near future, Vilade will likely return to a reserve role.

The Tigers recalled Vilade from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade could get some starts in the outfield against lefties with Riley Greene (hamstring) joining Parker Meadows (hamstring) on the injured list. He's 8-for-27 with a homer during his brief time in the majors this season.

The Tigers optioned Vilade to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Though he had picked up starts in the corner outfield in each of the Tigers' last five games while going 6-for-18 with a solo home run, Vilade will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to another utility player in Bligh Madris. Unlike Vilade, Madris is a left-handed batter, so the Tigers may have preferred to have Madris on hand a potential strong-side platoon option.

Vilade went 1-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-9, 10-inning win over the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade got the start in right field but ended up moving to first base and departed before the wild comeback win ended for the Tigers. The 25-year-old also blasted his first MLB home run in the fifth inning. Vilade got recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, replacing Akil Baddoo on the roster, and the former could carve out a more regular role if he continues to hit, as he's currently batting a robust .294 with an .839 OPS across his first 17 at-bats of the season.

The Tigers recalled Vilade from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade will take Akil Baddoo's spot on the active roster, marking Vilade's first MLB stint since May. The 25-year-old has slashed .286/.367/.470 with nine home runs and 13 stolen bases across 270 plate appearances with Toledo. He should primarily provide outfield depth but could see infield work if needed.

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

EDGE Analysis

Vilade went 2-for-9 at the dish during his brief time in the majors. He's headed back to Toledo, where he should see steady playing time at all three outfield spots.

Vilade went 2-for-4 with a walk and three RBI in Tuesday's 11-7 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Making his debut with Detroit and first appearance in the majors since 2021, Vilade started in right field and batted seventh. The 25-year-old quickly made an impact, and he could see some more playing time in the short term with Mark Canha (illness) missing Tuesday's contest. However, Vilade will likely shift to a bench role or return to the minors once Canha gets healthy.

Vilade is batting seventh and playing right field Tuesday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Vilade will make his first big league appearance since 2021 after being called up to join Detroit following a hot start to the season at Triple-A Toledo. However, he'll likely have a tough time finding consistent work in a crowded Tigers outfield.
