Baddoo (quadriceps) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting in left field Friday versus the Blue jays.
Baddoo will make his return to the Tigers' lineup after being unavailable for nearly a month due to a right quad injury. The 24-year-old had been in the middle of a cold spell before getting hurt, going 2-for-26 with a run scored and a stolen base while striking out seven times over his prior nine contests.
