Overview

  • Meadows was reinstated from the 60-day injured list on June 2 after recovering from a February musculocutaneous nerve injury.
  • In his season debut at Rate Field, he collected two hits, scored three runs and made a diving catch in Detroit’s 13-1 victory over the White Sox.
  • The Tigers cleared roster space by optioning infielder/outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy to Triple-A Toledo and designating right-hander Ryan Cusick for assignment.
  • Manager A.J. Hinch gains renewed center-field depth after Javier Báez filled in impressively during Meadows’ absence.
  • Detroit improved to 39-21, maintaining the best record in MLB with a dominant win.
