Tigers Move Parker Meadows To 60-Day Injured List

The Detroit Tigers moved outfielder Parker Meadows (arm) to the 60-day injured list on Monday to make space on the 40-man roster for recently-signed outfielder Manuel Margot. Meadows is dealing with a nerve issue in his right arm and will be shut down for at least four weeks before he can attempt to throw again. The official placement on the 60-day IL means that the 25-year-old won't be eligible to return to the active roster until late May. It's a tough break for an outfielder that also missed plenty of time due to injuries in 2024, but he finished the year slashing .296/.340/.500 with six homers and five steals in 47 regular-season games after he returned in August. He's strong on defense and was set to open the year as the team's everyday center fielder. With both Meadows and Wenceel Perez (back) out, Margot could see playing time right away in center field in Detroit.

Parker Meadows Needs Four More Weeks Of Rest

DetroitTigers outfielder Parker Meadows (arm), who has been shut down from throwing since Feb. 22 as a result of a nerve issue in his right arm, will require at least four more weeks of rest, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Meadows was expected to open the season on the injured list, but this pushes his timetable well beyond the 10-day window that was anticipated. A return sometime in May looks like the most optimistic outcome at this point. Wenceel Perez looks like the beneficiary of Meadows' absence.Last season, Perez slashed .242/.300/.383 with nine home runs, 37 RBI, and nine stolen bases across 112 games. With some ability to produce across categories and currently penciled in as the leadoff hitter for Detroit, the switch-hitter offers some fantasy value in deep leagues, at least while he's getting regular playing time.

Parker Meadows, Matt Vierling Still Not Throwing

Detroit Tigers outfielders Parker Meadows (arm) and Matt Vierling (shoulder) are still not throwing as they work their way back to try and re-join the Tigers lineup. Meadows was shut down after just one Spring Training game with a nerve issue, and Manager A.J. Hinch said Meadows is making steps in his recovery but also confirmed last Friday that Meadows will begin the season on the injured list. The Tigers plan to have Wenceel Perez step in as the primary center fielded while Meadows is out, and Riley Greene could slide to center at times as well. Vierling also played just one game this Spring Training before being sidelined by a rotator cuff strain and will begin the season on the injured list, opening playing time for Justyn-Henry Malloy and Andy Ibanez.
