Fri Nov 17 202323:07Tigers Let Austin Meadows Go
The Detroit Tigers non-tendered outfielder Austin Meadows and right-handers Brenan Hanifee, Garrett Hill, Freddy Pacheco and Spencer Turnbull on Friday, making them all free agents. 2023 was a lost season for Meadows, as he battled anxiety issues and managed to play in only six games at the major-league level. Meadows made the All-Star team in 2019 with the Tampa Bay Rays, but he started a steep decline shortly after that and has hit a combined .232/.315/.418 with 31 home runs, 132 RBI and six stolen bases in 220 games in four seasons since then. Hopefully, the 28-year-old can get his anxiety issues under control and continue his career with another organization in 2024.

Sat Sep 9 202316:54Austin Meadows Shut Down For The Season
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows will be shut down for the rest of the 2023 season, according to manager A.J. Hinch. The 28-year-old has been away from the team since early April due to mental health reasons. He continues to undergo treatment for his anxiety near his home in Florida. The Tigers aren't in the playoff picture anyway, so they've decided to let him work on himself for the rest of the season. The hope is that Meadows will be able to contribute to the team next season.

Sat Aug 5 202312:50Austin Meadows Not Doing Baseball Activities
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that outfielder Austin Meadows, who is on the 60-day injured list with anxiety, still isn't doing any baseball activities. The Tigers are hopeful that he can get "up and running." The 28-year-old outfielder hasn't played since the opening month of the season and has just 21 at-bats in 2023. He continues to receive treatment for his anxiety, but there remains no timetable for his return, and fantasy managers should probably move on in deeper leagues, if they haven't already. The Tigers will most likely send him on a minor-league rehab assignment once they feel like he's ready for game action. It's still up in the air as to whether Meadows will make an appearance in a big-league game before the season is up.

Sat Apr 8 202316:36Austin Meadows To Miss Some Time
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (personal) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The left-handed slugger will take some time away from the team due to anxiety. There is no word yet on how long Meadows is going to be out. In the meantime, Akil Baddoo has been recalled from Triple-A. He has been crushing the ball in Triple-A, so hopefully he can carry that over into the big leagues. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Meadows.

Tue Apr 4 202318:27Austin Meadows To Sit Out On Tuesday
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. Meadows will receive his first off day of the season as the Tigers attempt to keep their young outfielder healthy. Eric Haase will cover left field and bat fifth against Framber Valdez on Tuesday. The expectation is that Meadows will be back in the lineup for their next game. Haase isn't a great streaming option against a tough pitcher in Valdez.

Wed Feb 15 202300:54Austin Meadows Ready Physically, Mentally For 2023
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows said Sunday that he is "in a better place" heading into the 2023 season, per Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold. The 27-year-old only had 147 plate appearances in 2022 and missed time with a slew of injuries, including vertigo and anxiety. It would be great to see him rebound after posting a solid 2021 campaign in which he slashed .234/.315/.458 with 27 home runs and 106 RBI. Fantasy managers will likely want to gauge his health during spring training, but his current average draft position of almost 285 could be a bargain if he is indeed ready to go.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (Achilles) went hitless during his rehab game at Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Tue Jun 28 202218:12Austin Meadows Transferred To 10-Day Injured List
The Detroit Tigers have transferred outfielder Austin Meadows (Achilles) to the 10-day injured list due to strains in his left and right Achilles. Meadows had just recently cleared COVID-19 protocols and was about to begin a rehab assignment, but now he'll remain sidelined for a new reason. The 27-year-old has been held to just 36 games this year due to various ailments. He's still searching for his first home run in a Tigers jersey and he owns a .250/.347/.328 slash line on the year.

Fri Jun 17 202216:09Riley Greene Coming Up, Austin Meadows To IL
The Detroit Tigers are calling up outfield prospect Riley Greene on Friday, and he'll make his major league debut on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. In a corresponding move, outfielder Austin Meadows will be placed on the COVID-19 injured list. Greene, the No. 2 overall prospect in baseball per MLB Pipeline, was on his way to making the Opening Day roster before fracturing his foot late in spring training. The 21-year-old hit .279/.347/.382 with a homer, eight RBI and four stolen bases in 17 games for Triple-A Toledo and Single-A Lakeland, and he should see everyday playing time in center field for the Tigers. Grab him immediately in all fantasy leagues if he's available. Meadows recently returned from a bout on the lL due to vertigo, and now he's dealing with COVID. He still hasn't gone deep in 128 at-bats this year and might be a bench player when he returns.

Tue Jun 7 202214:24Jeimer Candelario To IL, Austin Meadows Activated
The Detroit Tigers placed infielder Jeimer Candelario (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday with a left shoulder subluxation and reinstated outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Candelario's placement on the IL is retroactive to June 6. Meadows has been out due to symptoms of vertigo, and he went 2-for-13 with a home run on a four-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo. He should return to an everyday starting role in Detroit's outfield. Candelario left the game early on Sunday. The 28-year-old hasn't done much for fantasy managers at the plate this year, slashing .181/.236/.319 with five home runs, 17 RBI and 20 runs scored in 182 at-bats.

Sun Jun 5 202211:26Austin Meadows Could Return Tuesday
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) could come off the injured list and join the team against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, barring any setbacks. Meadows, who has been out since May 16 with symptoms of vertigo, is now symptom-free and hit a home run in a minor league rehab game on Saturday. The Tigers could ease the 27-year-old back into the lineup when he returns, but eventually, Meadows should see regular playing time in the outfield, especially with both Robbie Grossman and Victor Reyes on the shelf. Before going on the injured list, Meadows was slashing .267/.362/.347 with no home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 101 at-bats.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (vertigo) launched a solo home run during Saturday's rehab game for Triple-A Toledo. That was the lone hit of the ballgame for Meadows before he was removed for a defensive replacement. The 27-year-old is expected to return to the big league lineup at some point next week. He has missed a few weeks of action due to vertigo symptoms, but appears to be doing better now. He'll likely still play a few more minor league games before returning to Detroit.

Thu Jun 2 202214:12Austin Meadows Could Return Next Week
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) won't return for the weekend series against the New York Yankees, but it sounds like he could be activated from the injured list for the short series against the Pittsburgh Pirates from June 7-8. "Getting back into baseball was a little funny for him just because he had hardly done anything for a couple of weeks...He said he felt great, symptom free. He said, 'See you soon.' That's a good sign," skipper A.J. Hinch said. Meadows has been out while experiencing symptoms of vertigo, but he played in his first minor league rehab game with Triple-A Toledo, and his return is on the horizon. The 27-year-old is hitting .267/.362/.347 with no home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 28 games this year, and he should return to a regular role in Detroit's outfield when he's cleared.

Tue May 31 202211:49Austin Meadows To Start Rehab Assignment Wednesday
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) will start a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. Meadows was cleared to resume baseball activities last week while recovering from vertigo. The 27-year-old will likely play multiple rehab games on the farm, but he could return from the injured list during the team's upcoming five-game road trip, which begins on Friday against the New York Yankees. Meadows will play regularly when he returns to the Tigers active roster, and although he has yet to hit a home run, he was slashing a solid .267/.362/.347 with 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 28 games before he was sidelined.

Mon May 30 202212:03Austin Meadows Could Start Rehab Assignment Wednesday
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) has resumed baseball activities in Florida and could start a minor league rehab assignment as early as Wednesday, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Meadows has been out since May 16 due to vertigo, but it looks like he's getting closer to a return to Detroit. The 27-year-old was relevant in deep mixed fantasy leagues before landing on the injured list, as he was hitting .267/.362/.347 with no home runs, 11 RBI and nine runs scored in 101 at-bats. Hopefully, Meadows returns from his bout with vertigo and can rediscover his power stroke. The Tigers are short-handed in their outfield right now with Meadows, Victor Reyes and Robbie Grossman all on the injured list.

Mon May 16 202209:14Austin Meadows Headed To The 10-Day Injured List
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows (illness) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, according to multiple reports. Meadows has been dealing with dizziness and an inner ear infection. He missed two straight games, then attempted to return to the field on Sunday, but exited Sunday's game after just one inning. He is still experiencing dizziness and vertigo-like symptoms and he will now be out for at least the next week and a half. Fellow outfielder Victor Reyes (leg) is also going on the injured list, so we should see both Willi Castro and Derek Hill earn extra playing time in the outfield. It also wouldn't be surprising to see Akil Baddoo called back up.

Fantasy managers should check back on Sunday to ensure Meadows is in the lineup before activating him.
