Malgeri went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two total RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Nationals.
Malgeri provided all of Detroit's offense as he wrapped up a strong series against Washington. Across the three games, the rookie outfielder went 5-for-12 with two home runs and five RBI. Before this series, Malgeri had a total of three long balls and 15 RBI through 54 contests. It's a brief flash of upside for the 26-year-old, who will likely compete for a bench role with the Tigers out of spring training next year.

Malgeri went 2-for-4 with a double and a three-run home run in Monday's 9-2 win over the Nationals.
Malgeri recorded both his fourth home run and fourth double of the season in the easy win. The rookie outfielder has been known more for his speed in the early stages of his MLB career, as he's swiped five bases in five attempts through 55 games. Malgeri could profile as an Opening Day fourth outfielder in 2027 due to his decent wheels and ability to provide a little offense when called on, though his fantasy outlook will remain limited unless he seizes a regular starting role.

Malgeri is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.
Malgeri will retreat to the bench after he started in each of the Tigers' last four games -- three against left-handers, one against a righty -- while going 4-for-14 with a double, two walks, a stolen base, three RBI and one run. The 26-year-old has maintained a respectable .732 OPS over his first 108 plate appearances in the big leagues, but he appears unlikely to break out of his short-side platoon role in the outfield anytime soon.

Malgeri went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI during the Tigers' 9-5 loss to the White Sox on Friday.
Malgeri put the Tigers on the board in the second inning with a two-run homer before adding a solo blast in the seventh. It was the first multi-homer game of Malgeri's major-league career, and he's up to three long balls on the season. Since making his big-league debut June 23, he's gone 15-for-53 (.283) with 10 RBI and five extra-base hits.

Malgeri went 1-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 13-1 win over the Athletics.
Malgeri waited until the ninth inning to hit his first career home run, going deep with a runner on and no outs. The 26-year-old has served as outfield depth since making his MLB debut back on June 23, though he's performed well when given an opportunity, slashing .282/.383/.410 in 39 at-bats across 20 games. If the 52-58 Tigers fade further from contention down the stretch, Malgeri could get a longer look to make his case for an expanded role next season.
