Twins' Ryan Kreidler: Scooped up by Twins on waivers
Rotowire
The Twins claimed Kreidler off waivers from the Pirates on Wednesday.
Kreidler had been booted off the Pirates' 40-man roster earlier this week and has now found a new home. The 27-year-old has slashed just .138/.208/.176 over parts of four major-league seasons and is only a career .236/.342/.401 hitter in the minors. Kreidler does offer positional versatility and will likely compete for a reserve role with the Twins next season.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Summoned from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Kreidler will be up with the Tigers for the first time since April, but he'll likely be in store for only a brief stay with the big club. The utility man will be a prime candidate to return to Triple-A Toledo when right-hander Chris Paddack -- whom the Tigers acquired from the Twins earlier Monday -- is added to the 26-man active roster later this week. Kreidler owns a .775 OPS in 68 games with Toledo this season but slashed just .105/.190/.105 in 44 plate appearances for Detroit earlier in the campaign.

Tigers' Ryan Kreidler: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
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: 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.

The Tigers recalled Kreidler from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

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.

Rotowire
Kreidler was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

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.
