MLB
Alex Faedo’s return from the injured list was a rough one last night, as the Tigers fell to the Blue Jays 12-2. Faedo got through two scoreless innings, gave up one run in the third, and then left as Toronto scored six times in the fourth. The Jays final five runs came in the top of the ninth inning off José Cisnero, who did not record an out. Matt Vierling had three hits and drove in a run for Detroit.
The Tigers welcome the Blue Jays again this afternoon. Matt Manning will start against Kevin Gausman. Coverage will begin at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
Akil Baddoo returned to the Tigers’ lineup last night, after recovering from a right quad injury he suffered a month ago. Riley Green is expected to rejoin the club today, and start as the designated hitter. Green has been out since late May with a stress reaction in his left shin.
The Tigers have designated veteran infielder Jonathan Schoop for assignment. Schoop hit 22 home runs for Detroit back in 2021, but had struggled since signing a two-year contract at the beginning of last season.
The Brewers opened up an early lead, and cruised past the Reds 7-3 last evening. Staked to a 4-0 lead after the second inning, Corbin Burnes turned in six inning, allowing two runs on three hits. Joey Weimer and Willy Adames homered.
The Brewers host the Reds again this afternoon. Colin Rae will pitch against Luke Weaver.
