Shelby Miller - Earns the win Thursday Miller (6-7) tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Thursday's 2-1 victory over the Mariners. He struck out one.
Impact Miller got Jorge Polanco to fly out to end the top of the seventh inning, then pitched a clean eighth inning to ultimately pick up the win out of the bullpen. The veteran righty has had a few meltdowns this season, which has led to an ugly 5.36 ERA overall, but the Tigers still seem to trust him in high-leverage spots. That role gives Miller some value in deeper fantasy formats, though his volatility has made him hard to trust this year.

Javier Báez - Provides offense Thursday Baez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Mariners.
Impact Baez put Detroit on the board in the eighth inning with his sixth home run of the year. While the six long balls would be his fewest in a season since 2015, the shortstop has gone deep twice in his last three games and five times over his last 16 contests. It's mostly been a lost season for Baez, but this recent power surge could at least prop up his fantasy value during the stretch run if he's able to keep it going.

Jace Jung - Set for major-league debut Friday The Tigers are set to promote Jung from Triple-A Toledo, and he is expected to make his major-league debut Friday against the Yankees, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press report...
Impact The 2022 No. 12 overall pick started the season with Toledo, where he is slashing .257/.377.454 with 14 home runs and 60 RBI across 414 plate appearances. Jung began his transition from second base to third in the Arizona Fall League last season, and he could be utilized in both positions with Detroit, per Petzold. Jung's first dose of major-league pitching will be a tough one, as he is slated to go up against Yankees' ace Gerrit Cole.

Kenta Maeda - Allows one hit in bulk role Maeda didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Seattle, allowing just one hit and one walk over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Impact Maeda's certainly shown improvement since he started working in bulk relief -- he's posted a 2.84 ERA across 19 innings in his last four appearances. Overall, the veteran right-hander is 2-5 with a 6.18 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 90.1 innings this year. Maeada's currently slated to start next week on the road versus the Cubs, though he could work behind an opener again due to his recent success.

Jason Foley - Picks up 16th save Foley earned the save in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Mariners, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Impact It's the first save for Foley in over a month and his first opportunity since July 12, when he allowed a run in a loss to the Dodgers. While Foley struggled to close out July, he's been pitching better since the start of August -- he's now made seven straight appearances (6.2 innings) without allowing an earned run. While the closing job in Detroit appears fluid, Foley is still likely the best bet for saves moving forward. He's converted 16 of 19 save chances this year while posting a 3.48 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 44 innings.

Trey Sweeney - Headed to majors The Tigers selected Sweeney's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Kiley McDaniel of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Sweeney was acquired from the Dodgers ahead of the trade deadline as part of the return for Jack Flaherty. Since reporting to Triple-A Toledo, the 24-year-old infielder has slashed .381/.447/.667 with two homers and nine RBI across 47 plate appearances while also swiping four bags in 11 games. He has played almost exclusively at shortstop throughout his minor-league career and could now take playing time away from Javier Baez, who has struggled at the plate all year.

Zach McKinstry - Retreating to bench McKinstry is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.
Impact McKinstry will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started in each of Detroit's last three games while going 3-for-12 with two doubles, one walk and two runs across those contests. Though McKinstry's bat has warmed up in August, the Tigers still seem to view him mostly as a utility player. His playing time is likely to take a hit once Detroit gets Riley Greene (hamstring) back from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend or early next week.

Jake Rogers - Resting in series finale Rogers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.
Impact After driving in a career-high seven runs in the Tigers' 15-1 win Tuesday in the series opener, Rogers was awarded a second straight start at catcher Wednesday, but he went hitless in three at-bats in Detroit's 3-2 victory. He'll give way to Dillon Dingler behind the plate in the series finale, and the two backstops seem poised to operate in a timeshare moving forward.

Gio Urshela - Absent from lineup Urshela is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Mariners.
Impact Urshela had four hits -- including a home run -- in Tuesday's game versus Seattle before going hitless Wednesday. He'll defer to Andy Ibanez in Thursday's matinee.

Justyn-Henry Malloy - Batting leadoff Thursday Malloy will start in left field and bat leadoff in Thursday's game against the Mariners.
Impact Malloy had a pinch-hit single in the first game of the series and reached base three times in the second contest after being a late addition to the lineup. That's earned him not only another start in the series finale, but also his first-ever shot at the leadoff spot.

Matt Vierling - Day off Thursday Vierling is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Mariners.
Impact It looks to be a routine day off for Vierling, who picked up three hits, stole a base and scored three runs in the first two games of the series. Akil Baddoo is getting a start in right field for the Tigers.

Javier Báez - Back in lineup Thursday Baez (hip) will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Thursday's game versus the Mariners.
Impact Baez was a late scratch from Wednesday's lineup due to a hip issue, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in Thursday's series finale. The Tigers will be going for the sweep.
