Greene went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's extra-inning win over the Cubs.
Greene opened the scoring with a three-run homer in the first inning, a 408-foot blast to right-center field that left his bat at 102.1 mph. After going deep Sunday against the Angels, the left fielder has now homered in back-to-back games for the fourth time this season. The 25-year-old continues to get better and better, slashing .288/.379/.475 with 15 homers, 50 RBI, 52 runs and two stolen bases across 99 contests.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Belts two homers in win
Rotowire
Dingler went 4-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and three total runs scored in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs.
Dingler was a driving force in the win, launching solo homers in the first and eighth innings before delivering an RBI single in the 10th frame to give the Tigers a 6-5 lead. It has been a breakout 2026 campaign for the 27-year-old, though Monday's long balls were his first since June 25. Overall, the catcher is slashing .268/.332/.524 with 21 homers, 63 RBI and 52 runs scored across 91 contests.

Tigers' Tyler Holton: Secures first save
Rotowire
Holton picked up the save in Monday's 8-6 extra-inning win over the Cubs. He allowed one unearned run on two hits and no walks with no strikeouts over one inning.
After closer Kenley Jansen worked a scoreless ninth inning to force an extra inning, Holton was called upon to finish things off in the 10th frame. Entering with a three-run lead, the southpaw allowed the automatic runner to score and brought the winning run to the plate with two outs, but he induced a weak groundout from Carson Kelly to secure his first save of the season. Holton has been a reliable middle reliever in 2026, posting a 3.05 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB with nine holds across 44.1 innings.

Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Lasts four frames Monday
Rotowire
Flaherty did not factor into the decision of Monday's extra-inning win, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings against the Cubs. He struck out four.
The right-hander was hurt by the long ball, surrendering back-to-back homers to Seiya Suzuki and Michael Busch in the third inning. Flaherty was pulled before facing the top of the Cubs' lineup for a third time, departing after throwing 82 pitches (47 strikes). The outing snapped a strong three-start stretch before the All-Star break in which the 30-year-old posted a 1.08 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB across 16.2 innings. Flaherty will take a 3-8 record with a 4.59 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 102:42 K:BB through 86.1 innings (19 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for this weekend against the Royals.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Fighting through heel contusion
Rotowire
Carpenter has been playing through a bruised heel over the last few games, and he was removed from Monday's game against the Cubs after appearing to be in some discomfort, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Carpenter reached base on an error in the 10th inning, and after he appeared to be experiencing some discomfort, the Tigers elected to pinch run for him. It's encouraging that 28-year-old has been able to push through the injury over the last few days, but his status will be worth keeping an eye on heading into Tuesday's clash.
Tigers' Matt Vierling: Sitting in second straight game
Rotowire
Vierling is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
After a stretch of four consecutive starts, Vierling finds himself on the bench for a second day in a row. The right-handed-hitting outfielder should still have a path to making regular starts versus lefties, but his opportunities to play against righties could become more limited now that Detroit has one fewer lineup spot available after Gleyber Torres (oblique) was reinstated from the injured list Monday.

Tigers' Javier Baez: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Baez (ankle) will embark on a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.
Baez has been sidelined by a right ankle sprain since late April, and his recovery has been slower than expected. The good news for the veteran infielder is that he's finally been cleared to embark on a rehab assignment, which could have him back in the majors by late July or early August. Prior to his injury, Baez had a .677 OPS with one steal, two home runs and six RBI across 82 plate appearances.

Tigers' Eduardo Valencia: Sent back to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Valencia to Triple-A Toledo following Sunday's game against the Orioles.
Valencia was recalled from Triple-A shortly before the All-Star break to provide catching depth behind Dillon Dingler, but the former will head back to Toledo after Gleyber Torres (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Valencia did well at the plate during his short major-league stint, going 5-for-12 (.417) with two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Reinstated from IL
Rotowire
The Tigers reinstated Torres (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Torres needed a month-long stint on the IL due to a left oblique strain. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment during the All-Star break, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to return to the majors, meaning both Zach McKinstry and Hao-Yu Lee will see less time at the keystone. Catcher Eduardo Valencia was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Covers three innings in rehab start
Rotowire
Jobe (elbow) struck out three and allowed one unearned run on three hits and no walks across three innings Sunday in his rehab start with Double-A Erie.
Jobe now has three rehab starts under his belt as he works his way back from May 2025 Tommy John surgery. Across those outings, Jobe has compiled an excellent 8:0 K:BB while giving up just two runs (one earned) in 7.1 innings. The right-hander built up to 44 pitches Sunday, so he'll probably need at least two more starts in the minors to increase his workload to a level that would put him in consideration for a spot in the Detroit rotation. The Tigers could also look to bring Jobe back from the 60-day injured list as a tandem starter or bulk reliever if they don't clear a spot for him at the trade deadline.
Greene went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.
Greene cut the deficit to one run in the ninth inning, but the Tigers couldn't find the tying run. Greene has gone 12-for-44 (.273) over 13 games in July, adding seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI this month. Overall, the outfielder is batting .286 with an .846 OPS, 14 homers, 47 RBI, 50 runs scored, two stolen bases, 20 doubles and one triple over 98 contests. While it's a decent performance overall, Greene has taken a noticeable step back in most counting stats compared to where he was last year.

Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Swats leadoff homer
Rotowire
McGonigle went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels.
McGonigle went deep on Ryan Johnson's third pitch of the game, but that was the Tigers' lone run until Riley Greene's homer in the ninth inning. In July, McGonigle has gone 14-for-51 (.275) with three homers and five RBI over 13 games. The rookie infielder has batted .282 with an .815 OPS, nine homers, 35 RBI, 61 runs scored and 11 stolen bases over 96 games this season.
Mize is dealing with groin tightness and a wrist injury following his early departure from Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Angels, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Mize left the game in the fourth inning after being struck in the left hand/wrist by a ground ball off the bat of Jo Adell, and he is also dealing with an apparent groin issue. The 29-year-old is expected to undergo additional testing on the groin, but Mize described his removal from Sunday's contest as precautionary. The right-handed pitcher is tentatively set to toe the rubber next at home against the Royals on Friday, and it's unclear if he's in danger of missing that outing.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Exits early with injury
Rotowire
Mize exited Sunday's start against the Angels in fourth inning after being struck in the left hand by a comebacker, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Mize entered the bottom of the fourth inning having tossed three innings of one-run ball before he took a 108.8 mph ground ball from Jo Adell off his glove hand to open the frame. The right-hander was able to finish the play, throwing out Adell at first base, but Mize was then forced to exit the game. He was already up to 74 pitches on the day, and it's possible that his removal was simply precautionary. More information on the status of Mize moving forward will likely come in the near future.

Tigers' Will Vest: Moves to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Detroit transferred Vest (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Vest was initially placed on the IL on July 1 due to posterior right elbow inflammation, but follow-up tests later revealed a stress fracture. The injury will result in an extended absence for Vest, who won't be eligible for activation until Aug. 27. Through 27 appearances on the season, the 31-year-old reliever has turned in a 6.08 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 27:10 K:BB in 26.2 innings.
