Tigers' Zack Short: Notches steal in 2022 debut
Rotowire
Short went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader win over Oakland.
Short was called up from Triple-A Toledo early Thursday and started at shortstop for the first game of the twin bill. Though he wasn't able to get a hit, the 27-year-old opened the ninth inning with a walk, stole second base and came around to score on a Riley Greene single. Short has a bit of power and speed, but he's never hit well beyond the lowest levels of the minors and doesn't appear destined for more than a reserve role in the majors.

Tigers' Zack Short: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Short was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
Short didn't start any of the last three games, but he should receive more consistent at-bats in the minors. The 26-year-old had slashed just .111/.150/.222 with three home runs, 10 RBI, nine runs and a stolen base in 38 games since the All-Star break.

Tigers' Zack Short: Starting Sunday
Rotowire
Short is starting at shortstop and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
The Tigers are facing the left-handed Steven Matz, marking their fifth straight game against a lefty starter, so Harold Castro will hit the bench and Short picks up the start. It looks like the two players are forming a platoon, with Castro on the strong side despite sitting out three of the last five contests. Short is slashing just .146/.245/.308 in 47 games this year, so his fantasy value is limited even when he's in the lineup.

Tigers' Zack Short: Records second steal
Rotowire
Short went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 4-1 extra-inning win over Toronto.
Short created Detroit's game-tying run in the eighth inning. He got aboard with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice, stole third and scored on a wild pitch. The shortstop hasn't done much with limited playing time this year, slashing .150/.250/.315 with six home runs, two stolen bases, 19 RBI and 17 runs scored through 152 plate appearances. He's settled into the short side of a platoon with Harold Castro at shortstop.

Tigers' Zack Short: Returns to Detroit
Rotowire
The Shortcode="annotation" data-id="306" data-text="Tigers" data-canon="Detroit Tigers" data-type="SPORTS_OBJECT_TEAM" data-league-abbreviation="MLB" data-team-abbreviation="DET">Tigers recalled Short from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Though he was optioned to Triple-A on Sunday, Short is eligible to rejoin the Tigers before the minimum 10 days after outfielders Akil Baddoo (concussion) and Derek Hill (rib) were placed on the injured list Wednesday in corresponding moves. Niko Goodrum returned from an IL stint earlier this week and has taken back starting duties at shortstop, but the injuries to Baddoo and Hill could result in the versatile 29-year-old taking on more work in the outfield. If that's the case, Short would be vying primarily with Willi Castro for reps at shortstop.

Tigers' Zack Short: Heads to bench
Rotowire
Short will be on the bench Monday against the Twins.
Short finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. He's hit an unimpressive .188/.306/.400 in 28 games this season, though that's still overall better than the .217/.277/.360 line produced by Willi Castro, who starts at shortstop in his absence.

Tigers' Zack Short: Returns to lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Short is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Royals.
Short returns to the lineup after a one-game absence. Willi Castro was recently recalled from Triple-A Toledo, but the team has been using him mostly at second base, so Short should remain the team's primary shortstop, at least until Niko Goodrum (calf) returns from the injured list. Harold Castro, who started Saturday, will continue serving in a utility role.
