Nevin has been going through other baseball activities as well as he makes a swift recovery from a left oblique strain. The 25-year-old would seem to have a shot to get ready in time for Opening Day.

Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Has mild oblique strain
Rotowire
Nevin has been diagnosed with a mild left oblique strain, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Nevin suffered the injury earlier this week during batting practice. He's shut down from baseball activities for now and could very well be unavailable for Opening Day even as the strain is being deemed minor.

Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Battling sore oblique
Rotowire
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Nevin is scheduled to undergo an MRI after experiencing oblique soreness in batting practice Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Nevin's injury further tests the Tigers' already-thin depth at third base, as non-roster invitee Andy Ibanez (finger) got hurt while preparing for the World Baseball Classic and is also limited for the time being. The Tigers won't know the full scope of Nevin's injury until the results of his MRI are read, but even if he's only sidelined for a few days, the oblique issue could derail his chances of making the Opening Day roster. With a .737 OPS through seven Grapefruit League games, Nevin had been making a decent case to break camp as a short-side platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Nick Maton at third base.

Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Off to strong spring start
Rotowire
Nevin is 4-for-10 with a pair of home runs through four Grapefruit League games.
Nevin is competing for playing time at the corner infield spots in Detroit, and he's making a good impression early in camp. The 25-year-old struggled last year with the Orioles, registering a .197/.299/.261 slash line across 58 games. He'll likely begin the year backing up Spencer Torkelson at first and possibly Nick Maton at third, so Nevin probably won't have a ton of fantasy appeal, though he could earn a larger role if he keeps hitting.

Tigers' Tyler Nevin: Traded to Detroit
Rotowire
The Orioles traded Nevin to the Tigers on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations.
Nevin was dropped from Baltimore's 40-man roster last week upon the team's acquisition of James McCann, but Nevin will now join the Tigers' 40-man. Zach Logue was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Nevin has not done much at the highest level, but he hit .291/.382/.479 with seven homers and 21 walks in 44 games with Triple-A Norfolk last season at age 25.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
Nevin was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Wednesday.
The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for James McCann. Nevin has managed just a .604 OPS across 202 plate appearances at the major-league level. The 25-year-old stands a good chance to pass through waivers.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Called up, starting Wednesday
Rotowire
The Orioles recalled Nevin from Triple-A Norfolk, and he'll start at third base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Nevin is joining the Orioles' 28-man active roster as a replacement for Ramon Urias (knee), who was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Assuming he sticks with Baltimore through the final week of the season, Nevin will likely form the short side of a platoon at the hot corner with the lefty-hitting Gunnar Henderson, who is sitting against Boston southpaw Rich Hill.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Nevin to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
He'll cede his spot on the active roster to top prospect Gunnar Henderson, who will be eligible to play in the postseason after he was officially promoted from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. Nevin could end up rejoining the Orioles in September when the active roster expands to 28 men, but he'll likely be little more than a right-handed-hitting option off the bench and an occasional starter versus left-handed pitching.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Remains on bench
Rotowire
Nevin will remain on the bench for Tuesday's game against Texas, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Nevin appeared poised for regular at-bats after the Orioles traded away Trey Mancini on Monday, especially as he'd already been in the lineup for three of the final four games of last week. Instead, he's now been stuck on the bench for two straight games, with Ramon Urias again handling third base while Ryan Mountcastle starts at first.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Loses work to Jonathan Arauz
Rotowire
Nevin is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
Nevin will take a seat for the third time in the Orioles' last four games, with all of his absences from the lineup coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The lefty-hitting Jonathan Arauz looks as though he'll receive the bulk of the starts at third base as part of a platoon at the position with Nevin.

Nevin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Jonathan Arauz will pick up a start at third base while Nevin takes a seat for the first time since June 7, ending a stretch of 16 consecutive starts.

Nevin went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Blue Jays.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Hits go-ahead homer
Rotowire
Nevin went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Royals.
Nevin gave the Orioles a 4-3 lead with his sixth-inning blast off Royals starter Daniel Lynch. In his last three games, Nevin is 3-for-10 with a pair of walks and three strikeouts. The 25-year-old is typically a utility man, but he has a chance to play regularly at third base with Ramon Urias (oblique) on the injured list. Nevin is slashing .237/.322/.329 with two homers, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and a double through 87 plate appearances.

Orioles' Tyler Nevin: Bound for minors
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Nevin to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Nevin saw a streak of 14 consecutive starts come to an end in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Rays, and his opportunities with the big club were expected to become more scarce moving forward following Ryan Mountcastle's return from the 10-day injured list earlier in the weekend. Rather than keeping Nevin around as a luxury bench piece who would typically only start against left-handed pitching, the Orioles will send the 24-year-old back to Norfolk so he can play on a more frequent basis.
