Butler was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old was moved to Triple-A to make room for Zack Gelof (oblique), who was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move. Butler saw regular action in the outfield early in the season but has struggled offensively with a .537 OPS in 41 contests.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Frazier will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games, with Michael Massey playing second base and Nelson Velazquez operating as the designated hitter.

Isbel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

Isbel will give up center-field work to Garrett Hampson for a third consecutive game. Isbel has gone hitless in four of his last six starts.

Maeda (illness) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Maeda has been fighting a viral illness and was placed on the 15-day IL on Saturday. After being too sick to throw for a short period of time, Maeda's quick return to mound work should mean he won't require a lengthy absence. However, he'll still require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Tigers.

Keith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Keith will yield to right-handed Andy Ibanez on Tuesday as the Tigers face southpaw Ryan Weathers. In May, Keith is batting .250 with five RBI and three runs scored across nine games.

Carpenter is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

The left-handed Carpenter will avoid a matchup with southpaw Ryan Weathers on Tuesday, as Wenceel Perez, Matt Vierling and Mark Canha will start across the outfield. Carpenter has hit safely in five straight games, batting 7-for-18 (.389) with two homers and five runs scored.

Urshela (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and is starting at third base Tuesday against the Marlins, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

The 32-year-old landed on the shelf with a strained hamstring April 20, but he's ready to rejoin the Tigers after a three-game rehab assignment, during which he went 5-for-8 with a walk, an RBI and two runs. Prior to the injury, Urshela posted a .298 average through 18 games but didn't provide much pop with just two extra-base hits (both doubles).

Baddoo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Baddoo was recalled on Saturday and made his first MLB appearance of the season, notching a triple and scoring a run during his only at-bat. However, he'll get sent back down to Triple-A to make room for Gio Urshela (hamstring) on the big-league roster.

Shenton was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

The 26-year-old will make room for Jonathan Aranda (finger) on the big-league roster. Shenton slashed .189/.318/.378 with a homer and four doubles in 44 plate appearances with the Rays.

Aranda (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Aranda fractured his finger just days before Opening Day and was forced to get surgery. After completing his 4-to-6 weeks of rehab, Aranda will return to the big league roster, pushing Austin Shenton to Triple-A Durham. In 55 plate appearances with Durham, Aranda slashed .196/.327/.283 with 20 strikeouts. He should see plenty of action at designation hitter but is not in the lineup Tuesday in Boston.
