Brebbia (1-0) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.
Brebbia worked the top of the ninth inning with the Tigers down 3-1 and ended up walking away with his first win of the season when Detroit scored three times in the bottom half of the frame. The veteran righty was 0-6 with a 5.86 ERA for the White Sox and Atlanta last year, but he's got a sparkling 0.00 ERA across five innings so far in 2025 to go along with his 1-0 record.

Tigers' Javier Baez: Tallies three hits in win
Rotowire
Baez went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Sunday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.
Baez is now 6-for-18 this season, and all six hits have come in a pair of three-hit performances. The veteran could use a little more consistency moving forward, though after seeing his average tumble to .184 during the 2024 regular season, the early 2025 results are at least a step in the right direction.
Torkelson went 1-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the White Sox.
The Detroit first baseman stepped to the plate in the ninth against Jordan Leasure with the bases juiced and did not disappoint, hitting a walkoff two-run double. Torkelson has been electric to start the season, slashing .324/.439/.618 over his first 41 plate appearances with two homers and six runs and RBI apiece. However, he is also striking out at a 31.7 percent clip and sporting a .474 BABIP, so precaution should be taken with the 25-year-old's outlook for the rest of 2025.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Issues three walks in no-decision
Rotowire
Jobe did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 4-3 win against the White Sox, pitching five innings while allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks. He struck out four.
The rookie right-hander looked sharper in this 86-pitch outing but generated just six whiffs against a subpar Chicago lineup. Jobe managed to limit hard contact, as all four hits yielded were singles, but the walks are looking problematic to start the season for the 22-year-old. Over his first nine innings, Jobe has a 5.00 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with a 7:7 K:BB. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Twins in Minnesota next weekend.
Rogers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Rogers will sit for the day game after he went 2-for-4 while catching all nine innings of Saturday's 7-2 win. Dillon Dingler will replace Rogers behind the dish.

Tigers' Trey Sweeney: Sitting vs. southpaw
Rotowire
Sweeney is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Sweeney is in the midst of a five-game hit streak during which he's gone 7-for-20 with a double, a triple and a homer, but he'll sit Sunday against Chicago lefty Martin Perez. Javier Baez will step in at shortstop and bat seventh.

Tigers' Colt Keith: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
The 23-year-old began the season as Detroit's starting first baseman, but he was shifted to second base with Gleyber Torres (oblique) on the injured list. Keith has a .174/.441/.261 slash line through 34 plate appearances this season and is receiving his first day off this season.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Taking seat Sunday
Rotowire
Greene is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Greene started the first eight games of the season and has carried a hot bat with three homers and a 1.083 OPS in 36 plate appearances, but he'll receive a break for Sunday's series finale versus Chicago. Kerry Carpenter will receive a rare start against a lefty (Martin Perez) while Manuel Margot gets the nod in right field.
Tigers' Reese Olson: Collects win in quality start
Rotowire
Olson (1-1) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings in a 7-2 victory over the White Sox. He struck out five.
The right-hander had trouble harnessing his control, tossing only 52 of 94 pitches for strikes, but he got plenty of run support and held on long enough to record his first quality start and victory of 2025. Olson has had a bumpy start to his season, posting a 5.06 ERA and 10:5 K:BB through his first 10.2 innings. He's scheduled to make his next outing on the road next weekend in Minnesota.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.
Torkelson has carried over a strong spring training performance into the regular season, as he's now batting .345 with two homers and a 1.127 OPS across eight games. The 25-year-old is seeing regular playing time in the early going, and if he can sustain his hot start, Torkelson could challenge the 31 home runs and 94 RBI he recorded during his breakout 2023 campaign, giving him plenty of fantasy value.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Power surge continues
Rotowire
Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.
Carpenter made his only hit count Saturday, as he went deep for the third time in the last two games. Before the brief power surge, the outfielder had just a .488 OPS, but he's quickly boosted that figure up to .848. Carpenter posted a career-best .932 OPS to go along with 18 home runs a season ago while only playing in 87 games due to a back injury, so he could fly past that homer total if he stays healthy in 2025.
Torres (oblique) began hitting off a tee in the batting cages Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Torres said afterward that his oblique is beginning to feel much better, though there is still no timeline in place for his return. He's eligible to return from the injured list Tuesday but will likely require more than a minimum-length stay.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Getting Saturday off
Rotowire
McKinstry is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
McKinstry will get a chance to catch his breath after going 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's series opener. Andy Ibanez will take over at the hot corner and bat sixth.

Tigers' Zach McKinstry: Reaches three times in win
Rotowire
McKinstry went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-4 win over the White Sox.
It was a productive evening for McKinstry and it continued his impressive start to the season. The utility player is slashing .280/.379/.360 through seven contests, and he's seen time at five different positions already. McKinstry's .739 OPS would be a new career high, but it remains to be seen if the 29-year-old can sustain this level of production over the course of the year.

Tigers' Kenta Maeda: Off to slow start
Rotowire
Maeda allowed three runs on four hits and a walk in an inning of relief during Friday's 7-4 win over the White Sox. He struck out one.
Maeda entered the contest in the eighth inning with the Tigers up 7-1, and he made it through his first frame unscathed. However, the righty struggled mightily in the ninth and was yanked without recording any outs. Maeda has only made two appearances so far this year, but he's allowed five runs already over three innings of work. It's an uninspiring start to his relief role, though he does have time to turn things around.
Flaherty (1-0) earned the win against the White Sox on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Flaherty allowed his only run on a second-inning double and was lifted just one out shy of a quality start after reaching 95 pitches. The 29-year-old has delivered steady performances in each of his first two outings, compiling a 2.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB across 11.1 innings. He'll face a tough test at home against the Yankees next week.
