The Tigers recalled White from Double-A Erie on Tuesday and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow strain.

The transaction clears a spot on Detroit's 40-man roster for Kerry Carpenter, who came off the 60-day injured list Tuesday. White has been limited to just 7.1 innings this season because of elbow issues and hasn't pitched in nearly two months. He is being tested for a potential radial nerve injury, per Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.

The Tigers optioned Vilade to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Vilade is making room on the active roster for Kerry Carpenter's return from the injured list. Vilade has managed just a .453 OPS over 17 contests in the majors in 2024.

Witt (forearm) is starting at shortstop and batting second Tuesday against the Twins.

The 24-year-old departed Monday's contest after being hit by a pitch in the left forearm, but he's back in the starting nine a day later. Witt has continued to mash during the first half of August with four homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs and a .333/.383/.738 slash line through 10 games.

The Tigers activated Carpenter (back) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Carpenter is starting at designated hitter and batting second for the Tigers on Tuesday versus the Mariners after missing nearly three months of action with a lumbar spine stress fracture. The 26-year-old put up a .914 OPS with eight home runs in 50 games earlier this season for the Tigers before the injury.

Renfroe is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

Renfroe is hitless in his last 20 at-bats while striking out eight times during that stretch, and he'll take a seat Tuesday. In his place, Adam Frazier will bat seventh and play right field.

Polanco is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Polanco is absent from the starting nine for the second time in nine games, yielding to Dylan Moore at second base Tuesday. Polanco is 6-for-27 (.222) with a 34.5 percent strikeout rate in August.

Buxton (hip) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

The 30-year-old was lifted from Monday's contest due to right hip discomfort and will be out of the starting nine for at least one game. Manuel Margot will receive a start in center field Tuesday while Buxton sits.

Raley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

Raley will dodge a matchup with southpaw Tarik Skubal on Tuesday as Julio Rodriguez slots in at DH and Mitch Haniger plays right field. Raley has a .722 OPS in 323 plate appearances this season.

Thomas is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Thomas will be on the bench for second time in three games, yielding to Will Brennan in center field. Through 50 plate appearances with the Guardians, Thomas is slashing .109/.180/.152 with a 40 percent K rate.

Schneemann is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

Schneemann will yield to Brayan Rocchio at shortstop Tuesday despite right-hander Javier Assad starting for Chicago. Schneemann is 5-for-19 (.263) in August and has a .714 OPS on the year.
