Parker Meadows Still Trying to Get Going
Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows has yet to lock it in since returning from the injured list with a nerve issue in his throwing arm on June 2. He has homered twice in 75 at-bats, but The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen writes that Meadows has looked more like the hitter who was optioned to the minors early last season than the one who had an .840 OPS in August and September. He is currently hitting .187 (14-for-75) and has struck out over 35 percent of the time on breaking balls. The good news is that the 25-year-old has gone 8-for-30 (.267) with a homer, double, four RBI and five runs scored of late in his last nine games. Fantasy managers that continue to hang onto him have to hope that he's just starting slow for a second straight season. If he continues to struggle, though, the Tigers could hold him out against lefties in center field in favor of Matt Vierling.
