Sweeney went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Sweeney recorded his first multi-hit performance since May 12 and set a new season high in runs scored. It's been a bit of a struggle for the second-year shortstop, as he's batting just .206 overall with a .573 OPS. Sweeney spent some time with Triple-A Toledo until a recent call-up to the majors, but he's been getting regular work at shortstop while Javier Baez has been needed in center field.

The Tigers recalled Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series finale versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Matt Vierling (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though he'll be included in the lineup Sunday, Sweeney is likely to see limited playing time during his latest stint in the big leagues. The 25-year-old has slashed just .208/.275/.303 with five home runs and three stolen bases over 258 plate appearances with the Tigers this season.

The Tigers optioned Sweeney to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sweeney will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster to outfielder/designated Kerry Carpenter (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. After being called up from Toledo on July 2, Sweeney mainly served as a bench player for Detroit, appearing in 14 games while going 2-for-24 at the dish. He should get the chance to play on an everyday basis when he returns to Triple-A.

Sweeney went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Sweeney came up clutch with a three-run blast in the 10th inning to lead Detroit to victory. It was his first long ball since May 12, and he's now 2-for-10 since returning from Triple-A Toledo. Sweeney has produced a lackluster .604 OPS with 27 RBI and 11 extra-base hits through 75 MLB games this season.

The Tigers recalled Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Though Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, he's expected to operate primarily in a reserve role during his upcoming stint with the big club. Sweeney opened the season as the Tigers' everyday shortstop but began to see his playing time dwindle in early June, when Javier Baez wasn't needed as often in the outfield and began seeing more opportunities at Sweeney's expense. Before being demoted to Triple-A last Friday, Sweeney slashed just .221/.280/.314 with four home runs and two stolen bases over 225 plate appearances on the season.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Sweeney will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo, Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take the roster spot of Kerry Carpenter (hamstring), who is headed to the 10-day injured list. Sweeney was just sent down to Toledo over the weekend after putting up a .594 OPS in 225 plate appearances. The young shortstop will likely operate in a reserve role.

The Tigers optioned Sweeney to Triple-A Toledo following Friday's 4-1 loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The move makes room on Detroit's 26-man roster for Matt Vierling (shoulder), who was reinstated off the 10-day injured list. Sweeney has a .594 OPS with two steals, four home runs and 23 RBI in 225 plate appearances this season, and he has seen his playing time diminish since Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez returned from the IL in early June. Sweeney will get more regular playing time in Triple-A and could be recalled by the Tigers should they need to bolster their depth in the infield.

Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Sweeney will sit against a right-handed starter (Cade Horton) for the second time in three games and appears to have shifted into a part-time role with Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez off the IL, leaving fewer opportunities in the outfield for Javier Baez and Zach McKinstry. Baez will occupy shortstop and McKinstry will cover third base in Sunday's series finale.

Sweeney is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
It's the fourth absence in Detroit's past six games for Sweeney, who appears to have fallen out of a regular role with the Tigers getting the likes of Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez back from the injured list over the past couple weeks. Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez have both received starts at shortstop over the last week, with Baez getting the nod Friday while McKinstry mans third base. Sweeney has been unable to get on track offensively this season with a .222/.279/.312 slash line through 60 games.

Sweeney is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Thursday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Sweeney has seen his playing time dwindle recently, as he only started one of Detroit's four previous games, but he'll get a chance to play in Thursday's afternoon tilt. The shortstop has been squeezed a bit by Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez. The latter started the year in center field but has since seen more time in the infield due to the return of Wenceel Perez and, more recently, Parker Meadows. As long as McKinstry and Baez stay productive at the plate, Sweeney may have to settle for a bench spot more often than not.
