Detroit

Tigers

Anderson performed well despite going without a K. He had a 28.3 percent strikeout rate previously while working mostly as a reliever, but he fanned none of the 13 batters he faced tonight. Anderson will likely remain a starter for now and face the Guardians next week.

He’s the first Tigers catcher to hit 25 homers since Mickey Tettleton did it three straight years from 1991-93. Dingler’s homer came after Gleyber Torres was intentionally plunked by Gabe Speier and gave the Tigers their only runs in a 4-2 loss. Dingler has three homers in his last five games and is batting .333/.407/.625 with six homers in the 18 games since the All-Star break.

Gomber heads to the Motor City as organizational depth at Triple-A Toledo. The 32-year-old southpaw hasn’t pitched in the big leagues this season and has spent time with the Rangers and Braves at the Triple-A level where he’s compiled a 6.01 ERA across 82 1/3 innings.

Greene put the Tigers on the board with a single in the third inning to drive in a run before scoring on a base hit by Colt Keith. He then extended the Detroit lead with a solo homer off Emerson Hancock in the fifth. Greene would collect his third hit of the game with a single in the ninth. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .278/.369/.462 with 16 homers, 61 runs scored, and 54 RBI across 469 plate appearances.

Keith knocked a base hit in the second inning and stole second for his fifth steal of the season. He then drove in two runs on a single in the third before collecting his third hit with a double in the fifth. The 24-year-old infielder is hitting .273/.319/.424 with eight homers, 41 runs scored, and 29 RBI across 320 plate appearances.

Melton completely dazzled on Tuesday in Seattle, holding the Mariners scoreless over seven innings. He scattered three hits and two walks while collecting four strikeouts. The 25-year-old right-hander has been incredible for the Tigers this season, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and a 64/23 K/BB ratio across 73 2/3 innings. He’ll look to keep it going against the Giants in San Francisco on Sunday.

Anderson had success overseas in Korea the last two seasons and has looked sharp in a handful of opportunities for Detroit this year. He’s compiled a serviceable 4.24 ERA and 78/24 K/BB ratio across 63 2/3 innings, mostly in relief, for the Tigers this season. He’ll get an extended look in the club’s starting rotation for the final two months and could be a decent streaming option in deeper mixed leagues.

Jobe will draw into Detroit’s new-look rotation following the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize at the trade deadline when they kick off a three-game series in San Francisco later this week. The hard-throwing 24-year-old was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in the not-so-distant past and will be making his return to the majors after missing most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s struck out 17 batters over 15 1/3 innings during five minor league rehab outings. There are probably going to be some workload restrictions down the home stretch, but Jobe is the type of talent that fantasy managers should at the very least be monitoring closely.

Díaz gets his first chance with the Tigers after being claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks last week. The 25-year-old was an interesting pitching prospect a couple years ago, but his stock has slipped to the point that he’s more of a relief arm at this stage of his development. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots for Detroit.

Granillo passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from Detroit’s bullpen last week. The 26-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Nationals last month.
