Noel will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Tigers.
Noel's playing time has been trending up of late; he'll be making his eighth straight start Monday after slashing .250/.280/.583 with four extra-base hits over the prior seven contests. Though his recent usage would suggest that he's a full-time player for the Guardians, Noel has been the beneficiary of Josh Naylor missing two games due to general soreness, as well as Cleveland having faced a string of left-handed starters. While Noel's start Monday comes with a right-hander (Beau Brieske) opening the game for Detroit, a left-hander (Bryan Sammons) is projected to serve as the Tigers' bulk reliever.
