Latest news

  • Outman cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    The 29-year-old was reinstated from the concussion injured list Sunday and was then designated for assignment by Detroit, but he'll stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Outman has struggled with both the Tigers and Twins this season, posting a combined .172/.235/.318 slash line and 41.8 percent strikeout rate in 94 games.

  • The Tigers reinstated Outman (concussion) from the 7-day injured list Sunday and subsequently designated him for assignment.

    The 29-year-old spent just over a week on the concussion IL but won't stick on Detroit's active roster now that he's healthy. Outman was claimed off waivers from the Twins in mid-June, but the Tigers have apparently seen enough after he posted a .183/.240/.366 slash line and 42 percent strikeout rate in 45 games.

  • Outman (concussion) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Outman has been on the 7-day concussion IL since last Thursday, and he appears to be nearing the final stages of his recovery now that he's been cleared to play in rehab games. It's unclear how many reps the Tigers will have him take at Toledo before adding him back onto the active roster, but a return during Detroit's upcoming weekend series in Kansas City isn't out of the question. Top prospect Max Clark is now operating as the club's primary center fielder, but Outman could still have a path to playing time once fully cleared if Riley Greene (hamstring), Kerry Carpenter (foot) and Matt Vierling (thigh) remain sidelined.

  • The Tigers placed Outman on the 7-day concussion injured list Thursday.

    Outman was struck on the chin by an Erik Sabrowski pitch in Wednesday's loss to the Guardians. He remained in the game, but subsequent testing revealed the need for a trip to the concussion IL. It's unclear how long Outman might be sidelined.

  • Outman went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Sunday's 11-0 win over the Athletics.

    Outman took position player Carlos Cortes deep in the ninth inning for the last run of the game. Outman looks to be firmly in a reserve role, as the Tigers prefer an outfield of Riley Greene, Max Clark and Zach McKinstry from left to right against right-handed pitchers. All three of them are left-handed hitters, as is Outman, who will have to settle for a bench role until opportunities open up. On the year, Outman is batting .168 with a .544 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored, four doubles, two triples and six stolen bases over 167 plate appearances between Detroit and Minnesota.

  • Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

    Though he'll exit the lineup Wednesday while southpaw Trevor Rogers starts for the Orioles, Outman looks to be headed for a steep reduction in playing time versus righties, too. He headed to the bench Tuesday while righty Dean Kremer was on the bump for Baltimore, as Javier Baez picked up the start in center field in his return from the 60-day injured list. Baez figures to be prioritized in center field over Outman, who has a lowly .167/.211/.322 slash line over 34 games with Detroit, and top prospect Max Clark could enter the picture before the end of the year as well.
