Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Moved to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Sweeney (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.
The move corresponds with the Tigers claiming Grant Holman off waivers from the Dodgers. Sweeney opened the regular season on the 10-day IL due to a right shoulder strain. He was given a PRP injection Thursday, but it appears that he is not progressing in his recovery as anticipated. Now that he's on the 60-day IL, the earliest Sweeney can make his 2026 regular-season debut is late May.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Given PRP injection
Sweeney (shoulder) was given a platelet-rich plasma injection Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Sweeney began the season on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain and hasn't progressed as anticipated, so the hope is the injection will speed along the recovery process. The Tigers will develop a rehab plan for Sweeney based on how he responds to the injection.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Shoulder issue persists
Sweeney felt discomfort in his right shoulder again Tuesday and is undergoing re-evaluation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Sweeney resides on the 10-day injured list after starting the season there due to suffering a right shoulder strain at the start of camp. While it seems he was making progress, it appears a setback may have occurred with the discomfort reappearing.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Starting season on IL
The Tigers placed Sweeney (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
The 25-year-old suffered the right shoulder strain at the start of camp and was unable to play in any games during spring training. Sweeney will require a rehab assignment to get some games in before returning from the IL. Even once healthy, he could be ticketed for the minors with top prospect Kevin McGonigle beginning the season as Detroit's primary shortstop.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Cleared to start throwing program
The Tigers announced Friday that Sweeney (shoulder) has started his throwing program, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Sweeney is working his way back from a right shoulder strain. After being cleared to start hitting again earlier this week, he's now able to start throwing. It gives Sweeney a chance to be ready for Opening Day in 13 days.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Taking part in hitting progression
The Tigers announced Tuesday that Sweeney (shoulder) is completing a return-to-play hitting progression, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Sweeney might be ready to make his Grapefruit League debut as a designated hitter at some point in the near future, but the Tigers haven't provided word regarding when the shortstop might be ready to begin throwing again as he works his way back from a left shoulder strain. Detroit is unlikely to carry Sweeney on its Opening Day roster if he's available only as a DH, so at this point, he could be trending toward a stint on the injured list to begin the season.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Not throwing due to shoulder strain
Sweeney will have his throwing program paused due to a right shoulder strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
It's unclear when Sweeney might be ready to throw again, much less play in games. The 25-year-old was already lower down in the pecking order at shortstop for the Tigers, and this setback won't help his chances at earning a spot on the Opening Day roster.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Not in lineup for Game 1
Sweeney is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Guardians on Tuesday.
Sweeney started at shortstop each of the last three times the Tigers faced a righty to close out the regular season, but he will begin his team's first playoff game on the bench as the Guardians send right-hander Gavin Williams to the bump. Javier Baez is handling shortstop and batting ninth.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Taking seat against lefty
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Sweeney will join fellow left-handed hitters Kerry Carpenter and Colt Keith on the bench for the series opener while the Mets send southpaw Sean Manaea to the bump. Though Sweeney started in both of the previous two contests and has been seeing semi-regular run at shortstop since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 10, he's slashing just .205/.225/.359 over a stretch of 16 games. Sweeney could be at risk of a demotion or a move to a reserve role once outfielder Parker Meadows (quadriceps) is activated from the 10-day injured list, which could result in Zach McKinstry and Javier Baez seeing more playing time at shortstop.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Not in Tuesday's lineup
Sweeney isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Sweeney will grab a seat on the bench after going 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Monday's game. Zach McKinstry will enter the lineup to start at shortstop while batting seventh.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Taking seat against southpaw
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on Aug. 10, Sweeney has been a fairly regular presence in the lineup, starting in eight of the previous 10 games while going 6-for-25 (.240 average) with one home run, six runs and four RBI. Sweeney could lose out on playing time once Parker Meadows' (quadriceps) return from the injured list likely pushes Javier Baez back to shortstop on a more frequent basis, but for now, the 25-year-old could continue to get steady playing time versus righties. The left-handed-hitting Sweeney will take a seat Wednesday against Astros southpaw Framber Valdez, however.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Homers, triples in big win
Sweeney went 2-for-4 with a triple, a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 10-0 win over the Astros.
Sweeney chipped in his second triple of the season, but his key swing came in the seventh inning, when he launched his sixth home run of the year with two runners on. It was the young shortstop's first long ball since July 6 and gives him something to build on, as he's currently seeing regular playing time with Javier Baez focusing on center field as Detroit deals with injuries to Matt Vierling (oblique) and Parker Meadows (quad).

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Scores three times in win
Sweeney went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Twins.
Sweeney recorded his first multi-hit performance since May 12 and set a new season high in runs scored. It's been a bit of a struggle for the second-year shortstop, as he's batting just .206 overall with a .573 OPS. Sweeney spent some time with Triple-A Toledo until a recent call-up to the majors, but he's been getting regular work at shortstop while Javier Baez has been needed in center field.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Called up, starting Sunday
The Tigers recalled Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and he'll start at shortstop and bat eighth in the team's series finale versus the Angels.
Sweeney will absorb the 26-man active roster spot of outfielder/infielder Matt Vierling (oblique), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though he'll be included in the lineup Sunday, Sweeney is likely to see limited playing time during his latest stint in the big leagues. The 25-year-old has slashed just .208/.275/.303 with five home runs and three stolen bases over 258 plate appearances with the Tigers this season.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Sent back to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Sweeney to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Sweeney will give up his spot to Kerry Carpenter (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. After being called up from Toledo on July 2, Sweeney mainly served as a bench player for Detroit, appearing in 14 games while going 2-for-24 at the dish. He should play on an everyday basis at Triple-A.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Belts fifth home run
Sweeney went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over Cleveland.
Sweeney came up clutch with a three-run blast in the 10th inning to lead Detroit to victory. It was his first long ball since May 12, and he's now 2-for-10 since returning from Triple-A Toledo. Sweeney has produced a lackluster .604 OPS with 27 RBI and 11 extra-base hits through 75 MLB games this season.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Returns to parent club
The Tigers recalled Sweeney from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Though Sweeney will start at shortstop and bat ninth in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader, he's expected to operate primarily in a reserve role during his upcoming stint with the big club. Sweeney opened the season as the Tigers' everyday shortstop but began to see his playing time dwindle in early June, when Javier Baez wasn't needed as often in the outfield and began seeing more opportunities at Sweeney's expense. Before being demoted to Triple-A last Friday, Sweeney slashed just .221/.280/.314 with four home runs and two stolen bases over 225 plate appearances on the season.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Heading back to big leagues
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Sweeney will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo, Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio reports.
He'll take the roster spot of Kerry Carpenter (hamstring), who is headed to the 10-day injured list. Sweeney was just sent down to Toledo over the weekend after putting up a .594 OPS in 225 plate appearances. The young shortstop will likely operate in a reserve role.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Heading to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Sweeney to Triple-A Toledo following Friday's 4-1 loss to the Twins.
Sweeney will give up his spot on the 26-man active roster for outfielder/infielder Matt Vierling (shoulder), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Sweeney has a .594 OPS with two steals, four home runs and 23 RBI in 225 plate appearances this season, and he had seen his playing time diminish since Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez returned from the IL in early June, which resulted in Javier Baez shifting from the outfield to shortstop. Sweeney will get more regular playing time in Triple-A and could be recalled by the Tigers should they need to bolster their depth in the infield later on this season.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Losing hold of regular role
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.
Sweeney will sit against a right-handed starter (Cade Horton) for the second time in three games and appears to have shifted into a part-time role with Parker Meadows and Wenceel Perez off the IL, leaving fewer opportunities in the outfield for Javier Baez and Zach McKinstry. Baez will occupy shortstop and McKinstry will cover third base in Sunday's series finale.
