"The Detroit Tigers welcomed the return of outfielder Parker Meadows from the injured list on Friday, and the former second-round pick brought instant juice. Meadows had been out since July 27, dealing with a right quad strain, but returned in an emphatic way against the Chicago White Sox. The Tigers' outfielder had just two at-bats in his return, but reached base both times."
"Meadows hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat to tie the game, 2-2, and then walked in his second at-bat before getting pinch hit for and taking the rest of the night to rest. Friday night wasn't the first time Meadows provided fireworks for the Tigers. Exactly one year ago to the day, The Tigers outfielder hit a go-ahead grand slam against the San Diego Padres with two outs in the top of the ninth inning."
""We talk about how he can impact this team, and that's a lot of what we missed," manager A.J. Hinch said (h/t MLB.com). "Even without the homer, the walk, the energy in center field, being able to run down a ball that seemingly was going to hit the ground pretty quickly, and he comes out of nowhere." In addition to his home run and walk, Meadows' manager is referencing his other highlight play of the night."
Parker Meadows returned from the injured list after a right quad strain that had sidelined him since July 27. He reached base in both plate appearances against the Chicago White Sox, hitting a two-run, game-tying home run in his first at-bat and drawing a walk in his second before being pinch-hit for. Meadows also made a diving catch in center field during the sixth inning to rob Michael A. Taylor of a hit and potential extra bases. The play had an initial catch probability of 25 percent and Meadows reached 28.8 feet per second, suggesting positive indicators for his quad recovery. Manager A.J. Hinch credited Meadows' impact and energy.
