Brandon Nimmo: Taking seat Saturday
Nimmo (hamstring) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers.
(May 2 -- Rotowire)
Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Tigers.
Evan Carter takes over in center field and will occupy the leadoff spot in his absence. No surprise here after Nimmo made an early exit from Friday's series opener with right hamstring tightness. The 33-year-old reaggravated the existing issue, which first cropped up earlier this week during Wednesday's game against the Yankees. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Justin Crawford was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins with a migraine headache.
Adolis Garcia is shifting over to center field with Felix Reyes and Garrett Stubbs in the corners. Crawford is presumably day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale. The 22-year-old rookie is hitting .269/.340/.376 with eight runs scored, zero homers, six RBI and two steals in 28 games.

Tigers selected the contract of RHP Ricky Vanasco from Triple-A Toledo.
Vanasco gets his opportunity with the Tigers after veteran Will Vest landed on the shelf with a forearm injury. The 27-year-old righty is certainly deserving after recording a sublime 28/4 K/BB ratio across 15 consecutive scoreless innings to open the season at the Triple-A level. He last pitched in the big leagues when he made four appearances between the Dodgers and Tigers back in 2024.

Tigers placed RHP Will Vest on the 15-day injured list with right forearm inflammation.
There is no timetable for Vest to return at the moment. The 30-year-old high-leverage arm hits the shelf after Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Friday that he's been pitching through an injury. He's struggled to an inflated 6.17 ERA across 11 2/3 innings of work this season.

Tigers designated RHP Yoniel Curet for assignment.
Curet has been removed from Detroit's 40-man roster to make room for reliever Ricky Vanasco to come up from Triple-A Toledo. The 23-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Phillies last month.

Kenley Jansen is day-to-day with a right groin or lower abdominal injury.
Kyle Finnegan, who notched a save on Thursday in place of Jansen, seems like the clear favorite to take over temporarily as Detroit's closer since Will Vest is hitting the injured list with forearm inflammation. The 38-year-old veteran stopper hasn't pitched since surrendering a walk-off homer to Matt Olson in a blown save against the Braves on Wednesday. It's possible this turns into an injured list situation if Jansen isn't ready to pitch early next week. Certainly, Finnegan should be picked up in all fantasy leagues.
