  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Sitting down Saturday

    Meadows isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

    Meadows has collected a base hit in each of his last three games, though he's also struck out six times in 12 at-bats while doing so. He'll retreat to the bench Saturday while Matt Vierling starts in center field, batting seventh.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Tallies two hits Thursday

    Meadows went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Nationals.

    Meadows has started to get going after a belated start to his season due to a nerve issue in his right arm. The outfielder is batting just .202 overall, but he's upped that to .281 (9-for-32) over his last 10 games. Meadows continues to provide strong defense in center, which keeps him in the starting lineup most days, and he can provide a good mix of power and speed when he's at his best offensively. The 25-year-old does regularly sit against lefties, however, which limits his fantasy upside to a degree,

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Idle for second game of day

    Meadows is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.

    With a tough lefty (MacKenzie Gore) taking the hill for the Nationals, the left-handed-hitting Meadows will give way to Matt Vierling in center field in the nightcap. Meadows started in the Tigers' 11-2 win in the first game of the day, finishing 1-for-5 with three strikeouts.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Sitting Saturday

    Meadows is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday.

    Meadows will take a seat while the returning Matt Vierling (shoulder) starts in center field and bats seventh. Meadows has struggled at the plate since making his 2025 debut in early June but has been better as of late, going 7-for-27 (.259) with five runs scored, one home run and four RBI over his last eight games.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Tallies two hits Thursday

    Meadows went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Thursday's 8-0 win over the Athletics.

    Meadows is slowly starting to get his bat going, as he now has a hit in six of his last seven games. This was his first multi-hit effort since his season debut back on June 2, and he's still batting just .191 overall, but Meadows should continue to see regular playing time as a plus defender in center field. If the 25-year-old can continue to make consistent contact, he has some power and speed potential that could be appealing to fantasy managers.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Hits second home run

    Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Rays

    Meadows was bumped down in the batting order against righties recently due to some struggles at the plate, but he responded with a big home run Sunday, just his second of the season. While the 25-year-old is still batting only .172 with a .607 OPS, the Tigers seem committed to him in center field, largely due to his defensive abilities. Meadows remains inconsistent from a fantasy perspective, though he still has plenty of potential, as he's yet to reach 140 total games at the MLB level in his short career.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Bumped down in batting order

    Meadows will start in center field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Meadows had served as the Tigers' leadoff man against right-handed pitching since coming off the IL on June 2, but he appears to have ceded those duties to Colt Keith. Meadows has occupied a spot in the bottom third of the order in each of his last three starts versus righties, and he'll likely need to show some improvement at the dish before manager A.J. Hinch considers moving him back up in the lineup. The center fielder has mustered a woeful .167/.262/.296 slash line with one home run and two steals over 61 plate appearances.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Idle for nightcap

    Meadows isn't in the lineup for the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against Pittsburgh, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Meadows will take the evening off after going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs in Game 1. Zach McKinstry, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across Detroit's outfield with Meadows on the bench.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Hits first 2025 home run

    Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Orioles.

    Meadows hit his first home run of the season in the fourth inning with two runners on, and it ended up being the difference in the contest. The young outfielder has now played 10 games since returning from the injured list and is batting just .171, though the team seems committed to letting him work off the rust. Meadows batted ninth Thursday as Baltimore opened with lefty Keegan Akin but will likely hit leadoff most days against righties, which boosts his fantasy ceiling.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Back in leadoff spot

    Meadows is starting in center field and batting first in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Meadows slid down to No. 9 in the order Tuesday with Baltimore starting lefty Cade Povich, but he's back in the leadoff spot against righty Zach Eflin. The outfielder, who missed the first 60 games of the year while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm, has gotten off to a bit of a slow start with a .185/.313/.296 slash line, though the Tigers seem committed to him as a fixture at the top of their lineup against righties.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Out of Detroit lineup

    Meadows is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Meadows started each of the last two days upon his activation from the 60-day injured list, but he will begin Wednesday's contest on the bench as the White Sox send lefty opener Jared Shuster to the bump. The left-handed-hitting Meadows is unlikely to be used in a strict platoon, but manager A.J. Hinch will probably pick spots to rest the outfielder as he eases back into action. Javier Baez will man center field and bat eighth Wednesday.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Returns to lineup Thursday

    Meadows is starting in center field and batting first in Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Meadows received a maintenance day Wednesday after making two straight starts following his return from the injured list, but he'll rejoin the lineup for the series finale. The 25-year-old went 2-for-8 with three walks, a double, a triple, a stolen base and three runs scored across his first two starts of the year, so he's already been able to make an impact for fantasy managers in a short amount of time.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Big performance in return

    Meadows went 2-for-4 with two walks, a double, a triple and three runs scored in Monday's 13-1 win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

    Making his 2025 debut for the Tigers after missing the first 60 games while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm, Meadows jumped into the leadoff spot and appeared to be in midseason form. The 25-year-old outfielder will likely have some restrictions as the team eases him into action, but he could still be an impact player in fantasy leagues batting atop a Detroit lineup that has become quite formidable this year.

  • Tigers' Parker Meadows: Activated ahead of season debut

    The Tigers activated Meadows (arm) from the 60-day injured list Monday.

    Meadows missed the first 60 games of the season while recovering from a nerve issue in his throwing arm. The 25-year-old outfielder played six rehab games, going 7-for-27 with one home run and an 8:6 K:BB. While the Tigers might ease him into everyday duties following a long layoff, Meadows projects to be the team's primary center fielder for the remainder of the season. He's starting in center field and batting leadoff in Monday's game versus the White Sox.
