28 Niko Goodrum 2B

Goodrum left Wednesday's contest against Houston with a right quadriceps contusion after colliding with Christin Stewart while chasing a foul ball.

Goodrum will benefit from a scheduled off day for Detroit on Thursday, and should be considered day-to-day heading into Friday's series opener in Cleveland. The 26-year-old suffered the injury in the top of the second inning and limped off the field after his right leg hit Stewart. Ronny Rodriguez took over at shortstop.

Goodrum went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the White Sox.

While Goodrum is only batting .234 this season, he's been a decent fantasy contributor with 16 home runs and 10 steals. The Tigers figure to be in rebuilding mode again in 2019, and the 26-year-old should be in the mix for regular playing time at second base along with Dawel Lugo. Goodrum's versatility could also get him plenty of looks elsewhere in the infield.

Goodrum went 4-for-5 with two runs scored and blasted a go-ahead home run in the ninth inning of Thursday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

After teammate Victor Martinez tied the game with a two-run home run against New York reliever Dellin Betances, Goodrum followed with a solo shot to put the Tigers up 8-7. The four-hit effort boosted his batting average from .225 to .233, and he now has 14 home runs this season.

Goodrum went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Twins.

Goodrum appeared in 11 games last season with Minnesota to get his first taste of MLB action, but he's turned into a steady regular for the Tigers. The 26-year-old now has 13 home runs to go along with a respectable .742 OPS across 101 games. If Goodrum records one more steal this year, he'll get to double digits in homers and steals, which would be a solid return for a player who didn't get a ton of fantasy attention before the season.

Goodrum went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

Detroit mustered just three hits and the two runs, so Goodrum's fourth-inning blast to put the Tigers up 1-0 loomed large. The 26-year-old utility player now has 10 home runs this season to go along with seven stolen bases, making him a decent fantasy option in deeper formats.
