The Detroit Tigers have optioned infielder Nick Maton to Triple-A Toledo after a tough start to the 2023 season. With a lack of left-handed hitters in the lineup, top outfield prospect Parker Meadows could be a viable option to replace Maton. Meadows has been performing well in Triple-A, with a .926 OPS in June and a 15-game hit streak. The Tigers may want to call him up for a longer look rather than just a week or two, and his left-handed bat and power could be a boost to the lineup.
The Detroit Tigers lost to the Minnesota Twins, 6-3, in a 10-inning series finale at Comerica Park. Tigers third baseman Nick Maton's two miscues in the field led to the game-tying and go-ahead runs scoring in the final three innings. Coupled with his continued struggles at the plate, Tigers manager AJ Hinch made the move to option Maton to Triple-A Toledo after the game for a "mental reset." Maton took the demotion in stride and acknowledged he needs to get better in order to help the team.

The Detroit Tigers have optioned right-hander Spencer Turnbull to Triple-A Toledo after his inconsistent performance this season, which includes a 7.26 ERA in seven starts. Turnbull, who missed all of last season rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, has struggled to execute his pitches and hasn't been able to complete the sixth inning. The Tigers plan to work with him in the minor leagues and hope for a "short stint" with the Mud Hens before bringing him back to the major league team.
