The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Kreidler has served as the Tigers' primary center fielder this season while Parker Meadows (shoulder) is shelved, but his playing time had dipped recently and the club has now elected to replace him on the roster. Javier Baez is drawing his first career start in center field Monday and Riley Greene will also be used at the position as Meadows continues to work his way back.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Not in Friday's lineup
Rotowire
Kreidler is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Royals on Friday.
Kreidler went 0-for-2 with two walks and one run scored in Thursday's contest, but he's recorded just one hit since April 4. He'll begin Friday's game in the dugout while Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene and Zach McKinstry man the outfield.
Kreidler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.
Kreidler will give way to Riley Greene in center field after starting in each of the Tigers' last three contests. Though he could have a fairly clear pathway to playing time in the outfield until Detroit gets one of Wenceel Perez (back), Matt Vierling (shoulder) or Parker Meadows (arm) back from the injured list, Kreidler has done little to warrant much attention in fantasy circles. He enters Tuesday's contest with a .136 average, three runs, one stolen base and no RBI in nine games and has struck out in 12 of his 25 plate appearances.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Out of Detroit lineup
Rotowire
Kreidler is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus the White Sox.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Serving as primary center fielder
Rotowire
Kreidler will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Mariners.
Kreidler has served as Detroit's primary center fielder so far this season, starting in five of the first six games while going 2-for-12 with a walk, a run and a stolen base. He'll likely move into a utility role or potentially even head to Triple-A Toledo once the Tigers get at least one of Wenceel Perez (back), Matt Vierling (shoulder) or Parker Meadows (arm) back from the injured list.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Officially makes Opening Day roster
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Kreidler was optioned this past weekend, but he rejoined the club earlier this week following a rash of outfield injuries. The 27-year-old looks to be the favorite to handle center field for the Tigers while Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) are shelved.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Back in majors, could see CF reps
Rotowire
Kreidler has rejoined the Tigers and is a candidate to see starts in center field while Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) are out, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Tigers are also down Matt Vierling (shoulder) in addition to Meadows and Perez, leaving them with very few options to play center field. President of baseball operations Scott Harris noted Monday that Kreidler is an "elite defender" and that "pitching and defense is going to be really important for us moving forward," indicating that Kreidler could see ample playing time in center field. The club also signed Manuel Margot to enhance its outfield depth.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Kreidler was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Kreidler hit two homers and drew 10 walks in 19 Grapefruit League games, but it wasn't enough to secure a spot on Detroit's bench to begin the regular season. The 27-year-old has appeared in the majors in each of the past three seasons, topping out at 84 big-league plate appearances in 2022.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Wenceel Perez (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Kreidler has managed just a .369 OPS in 34 games with the big club this season.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Joining big-league club
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Javier Baez (back/hip) is headed to the injured list, creating a need for infield depth. Kreidler could find himself on the short side of a platoon with Trey Sweeney at shortstop for the Tigers. Kreidler slashed .136/.208/.205 in 48 plate appearances with Detroit earlier this season.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Might be added to roster
Rotowire
Kreidler has joined the Tigers in Chicago for their series versus the Cubs and could be added to the roster if Javier Baez needs to go on the 10-day injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Baez is undergoing tests for an undisclosed injury and the club has summoned Kreidler as insurance. The 26-year-old could get some reps at shortstop versus lefties if Baez needs to miss time, but Trey Sweeney would be in line for the bulk of the starts at the position.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Sent back to Toledo
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.
Kreidler appeared in two games for the big club after being called up from Toledo on Monday, going 1-for-4 with a stolen base. For the season, he's slashing .136/.208/.205 with three stolen bases, one home run and two RBI across 48 major-league plate appearances. The move makes room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Parker Meadows (hamstring), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Moves up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Kreidler will provide some infield depth after shortstop Javier Baez (personal) was placed on the family medical emergency list in a corresponding move. He's hit just .153/.215/.206 over parts of three seasons at the big-league level.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Returns to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Kreidler to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Javier Baez (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list, so Kreidler will head back to Triple-A since his playing time was about to dry up. Kreidler should receive everyday reps at a variety of positions at Toledo. He hit .125 with one home run and two stolen bases over 40 at-bats with the Tigers following his June 11 promotion.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Hitting bench Sunday
Rotowire
Kreidler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.
Kreidler had started at shortstop in both of the past two games and four of the previous six games overall, but he'll give way to Zach McKinstry in the series finale. Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on June 11, Kreidler has produced a weak .405 OPS over 18 games, so he won't have much of a case for seeing regular playing time once Javier Baez (spine) likely returns from the injured list during the upcoming week.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Hits first 2024 home run
Rotowire
Kreidler went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.
It was a rare display of power for Kreidler, who hit his first home run since the 2022 season. The utility man has been seeing more time at shortstop recently with Javier Baez (back) on the injured list, though Zach McKinstry has the slight edge in playing time at the moment. Neither player is a great offensive option, and fantasy managers can mostly look elsewhere, particularly with Baez beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday and likely back soon.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Swipes two bases Tuesday
Rotowire
Kreidler went 2-for-2 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.
Kreidler stole the first two bases of his MLB career in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old has mostly been a bench player in the majors, so while Tuesday's effort was promising, it looks to be an outlier. Zach McKinstry should get most of the playing time at shortstop in the near future with Javier Baez (back) still on the injured list, pushing Kreidler to a reserve role most days.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Back in big leagues
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Kreidler has missed a large chunk of the minor-league season with a fractured finger, but he had recently rejoined the roster at Toledo, where he's gone 4-for-25 at the plate in nine games. He's starting at shortstop Tuesday versus the Nationals and is expected to form the short side of a platoon at the position while Javier Baez (back) is out, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
