Sat Aug 29 201511:17Collins back in lineup for Tigers' game against Jays on Saturday
Collins is back in the lineup for the Tigers' game against the Jays on Saturday. He will bat sixth.
He's just 3-for-25 in his last six games and none of those hits have gone for extra bases. His slash line of .257/.282/.389 is less than inspiring, either on the field or in your lineup.
Fri Aug 28 201515:53Collins not in lineup Friday against Blue Jays
Collins is not in the lineup Friday against the Blue Jays.
Collins has struggled a bit of late, going just 1-for-12 in his last three starts and 3-for-25 in his past six. Rajai Davis will draw the start in left field in his stead for the second time in three days, batting lead off.

Collins is back in the lineup, batting second and starting in left field Monday against the Royals, according to Chris Iott of MLive.com.
After getting the day off Sunday against the Red Sox, Collins is back in the lineup Monday. The 25-year-old is hitting .270 in 63 at-bats this season with two home runs and seven RBI. He replaces Rajai Davis in the starting lineup.
Sun Aug 9 201509:48Collins out of lineup Sunday against Red Sox
Collins is out of the lineup Sunday against the Red Sox.
Collins recently enjoyed a three-game run as the Tigers' starting left fielder, but with the team facing a left-handed starter (Henry Owens) again Sunday, the 25-year-old will sit for a second straight game. Rajai Davis gets the start in left field for the series finale, but expect him and Collins to share the position over the next handful of games.

Collins was officially recalled from Triple-A Toledo prior to Friday's game against the Orioles.
Collins came off the bench as a pinch runner late in the game, replacing Victor Martinez. The 25-year-old has shown some flashes of pop during his previous stints with the Tigers the last two seasons, and could have an easier path to playing time now that Yoenis Cespedes is out of the picture. Look for him to settle into a timeshare in left field with Rajai Davis, where Collins will probably see the larger portion of duties as the left-handed bat.

Collins will split duties in left field with Rajai Davis when he is recalled, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Collins will likely be recalled Saturday, as he's not expected to make it to Baltimore in time for Friday's contest. While he'll likely receive a fair amount of starts in left field moving forward, it's unlikely he'll make enough of an impact to be fantasy-relevant in most leagues.

Collins has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
Collins hit .275 with two home runs over 51 at-bats in his 18-game stint with the Tigers before being optioned to Triple-A Toledo. He was sent down in a corresponding move as the Tigers activated Victor Martinez from the 15-day DL.

Collins will be sent down Friday to make room for Victor Martinez (knee), Tony Paul of the Detroit News reports
The 25-year-old Collins has fared well with the big club, posting an OPS over .800 in 18 games (54 PA), but he will be the roster casualty with Martinez ready to come off the DL. Prior to his mid-May callup, Collins turned in just a .248/.338/.301 batting line in 32 games with Triple-A Toledo.
Fri Jun 5 201516:46Collins not in lineup Friday against White Sox
Collins is not in the lineup Friday against the White Sox.
Collins will get the day off with left-hander Jose Quintana on the mound for the White Sox. Detroit will go with a starting outfield of Yoenis Cespedes (left field), Anthony Gose (center) and J.D. Martinez (right).
Thu Jun 4 201518:02Collins 1-4 with three-run homer Thursday against Oakland
Collins went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Thursday against Oakland.
The long ball was Collins' first of the season and the second of his career, as he knocked one in an 18-game stint with Detroit in 2014. Nearly 25 years old (his birthday is Saturday), Collins' unimpressive hit tool leaves him with little upside, but he does have a little pop and a little speed, and he's currently seeing semi-regular time in the Tigers' injury-depleted outfield, so there's some AL-only relevance to be found here.
Thu May 21 201510:09Collins not in lineup Thursday against Astros
Collins is not in the lineup Thursday against the Astros.
Collins has made back-to-back starts since Victor Martinez (knee) landed on the disabled list, collecting a single in each game. The left-hander take a seat in favor of J.D. Martinez, who's move to the DH spot will allow both Anthony Gose and Rajai Davis to get starts.

Collins made his 2015 debut Tuesday against the Brewers and went 1-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts.
Temper your expectations -- his power has pretty much dried up this season. His fantasy value will be limited to the deepest of formats.
Tue May 19 201509:26Collins getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday
Collins is getting called up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, MLive.com reports.
For the corresponding transaction, Detroit may place Victor Martinez (knee) on the 15-day disabled list. Collins has struggled to the tune of a .248/.338/.301 triple-slash line with Triple-A Toledo this season, and he doesn't figure to see regular at-bats with the Tigers. His complete lack of power has been surprising, after he hit a combined 39 home runs between the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2013 and 2014.
Mon Mar 30 201509:25Collins optioned to Triple-A Toledo
Collins has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
The Tigers simply don't have playing time available for Collins to begin the season, but should an injury knock out of the team's four Opening Day options in the outfield, Collins may be the first callup from Toledo.
Sat Feb 14 201511:07While Collins favorite to open season as team's fifth outfielder
While Collins is the favorite to open the season as the team's fifth outfielder, the Tigers may elect to keep an extra infielder instead, the Detroit News reports.
The left-handed hitting Collins offers a much-needed alternative to a righty-heavy lineup, plus he's capable of handling all three outfield spots. Even if he sticks on the Opening Day roster, it's difficult to envision a scenario where Collins plays frequently barring injuries to one of the team's starting outfielders.

Collins appears to have the inside track to an Opening Day roster spot as the Tigers' fifth outfielder, MLive.com reports.
The Tigers seem to prefer that Steven Moya get everyday playing time in the minors, as opposed to giving him a limited role with the big club to begin the season. Collins has appeared in nine minor league games as a center fielder over four seasons, making it likely that he'll get his opportunities while occasionally spelling Yoenis Cespedes and J.D. Martinez in the corners in 2015.

Collins will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo prior to Monday's game against the Indians, Chris Iott of MLive.com reports.
The 24-year-old appeared in seven games earlier this season with the Tigers, and was batting .263 with 18 homers and 12 stolen bases over 120 contests at Toledo entering play Sunday. He'll just be a left-handed bat off the bench and potential pinch-running option for the Tigers in September.
Fri Apr 18 201415:25Tyler Collins optioned to Triple-A
