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

Baddoo is up as a roster replacement for Kerry Carpenter (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old outfielder has spent virtually all of 2024 with Toledo, slashing .253/.360/.473 with six home runs and 16 stolen bases. Baddoo could see a little action in the outfield versus righties while he's up with the Tigers.

Woodford (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out four.

Woodford was brought up from Triple-A Charlotte to replace Mike Clevinger (elbow) on the back end of the White Sox rotation. The 27-year-old yielded all three runs in the second frame, allowing a single, a walk and two doubles to consecutive batters with two outs. Although it's unclear if the White Sox plan on keeping Woodford around for the duration of Clevinger's IL stint, he's currently in line for a start against the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Tuesday.

The Tigers placed Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with lumbar spine inflammation.

Carpenter first felt some soreness in his back over the weekend and had hoped it would dissipate in subsequent days, but that hasn't happened. As a result, he'll miss at least the next week and a half of action, with manager A.J. Hinch noting that Carpenter is without a clear timetable for a return while he awaits further testing, per Jason Beck of MLB.com. Akil Baddoo was called up from Triple-A Toledo and could see some time in the outfield while he's with the big club, but the Tigers might be more apt to lean on Wenceel Perez in right field and Matt Vierling in center during Carpenter's absence.

Schneider went 3-for-4 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and one run in Tuesday's 7-2 win over the White Sox.

Schneider batted leadoff for the 10th time in 11 games and provided a spark atop the lineup as Toronto took home its second win in a row. Overall, Schneider has posted an .819 OPS in 13 starts as a leadoff man this season, and so long as he continues to excel in that capacity, he should stick as the Blue Jays' table setter even as George Springer is beginning to emerge from his season-long slumber.

Gausman (4-3) picked up the win Tuesday against the White Sox, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

Gausman was sharp Tuesday, yielding one run and fewer than five hits for a second straight start to tally his fourth win in his last six outings. However, he snapped a streak of four consecutive outings with six or more Ks and yielded three extra-base hits. Gausman has allowed one or fewer earned runs in six of his last eight starts but owns a 4.14 ERA on the year. He's tentatively scheduled for a start against Baltimore on Monday.

Kelly isn't in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

The Tigers will have Jake Rogers behind the plate for the opening game, catching for Tarik Skubal. Kelly should be behind the plate for the second game.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Pirates.

Carpenter will hit the bench for the first game of the day but should be back in the starting nine for the second contest of the twin bill. With Carpenter on the bench for Game 1, Wenceel Perez will slide over from center field and start in right field.

The Tigers will recall Montero from Triple-A Toledo to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Pirates, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Montero will serve as the 27th man for the doubleheader and will be making his major-league debut. The 23-year-old has put up a 4.40 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 36:17 K:BB over 30.2 innings covering nine starts with Toledo this season.

Dominguez (elbow) will start in center field and bat second for Double-A Somerset in a rehab game Wednesday versus Bowie.

Dominguez already has 10 rehab games under his belt, but Wednesday will mark the first time that he's started in center field since he underwent Tommy John surgery last September. The 21-year-old's ability to play the outfield likely signals that he's completed his throwing program, but Dominguez is still likely to remain on his rehab assignment for the full 20-day window or close to it. The Yankees don't have an everyday role available in the outfield for Dominguez at the moment, so he'll likely be optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once he's reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

Stanek earned the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Astros after pitching a perfect ninth and striking out two.

Stanek got the call for the save opportunity with Andres Munoz unavailable having worked the previous two days. The former Astro would go on to strike out Alex Bregman and Jake Meyers before getting Jon Singleton to fly out to end the game. It was Stanek's third save of the year and his first since April 12 and he's now struck out six batters over his last three innings. For the year, the 32-year-old owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB in 19 innings.
