Injury Report
Tigers
Riley Greene — DAY‑TO‑DAY (wrist)
Kerry Carpenter — OUT (back)
Casey Mize — OUT (shoulder)
Alex Faedo — OUT (forearm)
Impact: Greene’s status is critical — Detroit’s best OBP bat. Carpenter’s absence hurts left‑handed power.
Yankees
Aaron Judge — DAY‑TO‑DAY (foot contusion)
Gleyber Torres — OUT (hamstring)
Carlos Rodón — OUT (elbow)
Jonathan Loáisiga — OUT (shoulder)
Impact: Judge’s availability dramatically shifts the Yankees’ offensive ceiling. Torres’ absence weakens middle infield depth.

Soto’s elite plate discipline vs. Skubal’s high‑velocity left‑handed attack is the marquee matchup. Soto has a .310 average vs. lefties this season.
Spencer Torkelson vs. Drew Schlittler
Torkelson’s power plays well against Schlittler’s tendency to leave pitches up. Detroit needs his bat to produce.
