Provides jolt Friday
Outman went 1-for-2 with a walk, a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 8-0 win over the Astros.
Analyse
Outman is starting to seize more playing time in center field in tandem with Matt Vierling, with Vierling also capable of playing a corner spot as he did Friday. Outman isn't hitting much with only a .190 batting average in 11 games with the Tigers and an even worse .165 average overall. He's not a particularly exciting fantasy option due to the lack of consistent contact, but with both Javier Baez (ankle) and Wenceel Perez (orbital) facing extended absences, playing time should continue to be there for Outman in the short term, unless the Tigers decide the time is right to bring up top prospect Max Clark.

Taking seat versus lefty
Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Analyse
Though Matt Vierling will get the call in center field for the second straight game while the Tigers go up against another lefty (Ryan Weathers), Outman may have moved into the strong side of a platoon at the position. Outman started over Vierling in the Tigers' last two matchups with righties and has gone 3-for-16 with a home run, a stolen base and a 2:10 BB:K overall since joining Detroit earlier this month as a waiver pickup from Minnesota.

Tallies two hits, stolen base
Outman went 2-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.
Analyse
He came on as a defensive replacement after Jahmai Jones pinch hit for Kerry Carpenter in the fourth inning. Outman recorded his first multi-hit effort since joining the Tigers about 10 days ago as well as his first stolen base. The 29-year-old is seeing some run for the team, though he hasn't established a regular starting role and is still mostly off the fantasy radar due to his .173/.244/.293 slash line this season.
