3 years agoDetroit Tigers pitcher
Michael Pineda (triceps) left Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins with right triceps tightness during the fourth inning. He allowed two runs on four hits while striking out three over three innings before leaving. The 33-year-old was removed in the third inning after aggravating a triceps injury. He owns a 5.27 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 23 strikeouts over 42 2/3 innings in 2022. Pineda is considered day-to-day, and it's unclear if he will make his net start Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

3 years agoThe Detroit Tigers have activated starting pitcher
Michael Pineda (finger) from the 15-day injured list. He will be the team's starting pitcher for Friday's series opener against the Kansas City Royals. The 33-year-old missed about a month and a half after fracturing his right middle finger. He made just five starts before the injury and went 1-2 with a 3.22 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP. He could continue to maintain a solid ERA and WHIP throughout the year, but he offers little strikeout upside (just 12 strikeouts over 22.1 innings) and his win potential is low on the Tigers. To clear space for Pineda, the Tigers sent fellow right-hander
Alex Faedo to Triple-A.

3 years agoDetroit Tigers starting pitcher
Michael Pineda (finger) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Kansas City Royals. He allowed two runs over 3 2/3 innings during his last rehab start with Triple-A Toledo. Pineda has been sidelined since suffering a fractured right middle finger in mid-May. The 33-year-old was off to an excellent start for Detroit before the injury, posting a 3.22 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 12:4 K: BB in five starts covering 22 1/3 innings pitched. Pineda is an option in deep-league formats when he returns, but fantasy managers might want to wait for a start or two before using him as a streamer.

Michael Pineda (finger) is not expected to need surgery to fix his fractured right middle finger, according to skipper A.J. Hinch. Pineda will be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks. The veteran right-hander will likely be out for over a month, but Hinch said the team is optimistic that Pineda won't miss multiple months. The 33-year-old was off to a great start for Detroit before the injury, posting a 3.22 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with a 12:4 K:BB in five starts covering 22 1/3 innings pitched. If you have the room, Pineda is certainly worth stashing. With
Matt Manning (shoulder) and
Casey Mize (elbow) also sidelined, right-handed pitching prospect
Alex Faedo could remain in the starting rotation for the time being.
