Outlook Michael Massey
Michael Massey remains a clear weekly sit with no active role on mound or at plate
Massey has not seen any recent game action, with zero games played over the last 30 days. He currently occupies a depth option role for the fourth-place Tigers, who are missing key infielder Gleyber Torres due to an oblique injury. Massey's path to playing time remains unclear as he has yet to be activated for Detroit.
While his fantasy profile lists him as a pitcher, Massey is strictly a position player with no projected mound work, holding a clean but empty 0.00 ERA and WHIP over zero innings. Our models project his actual value to come at the plate, forecasting a .245 average with 8 home runs and 35 RBIs over 294 at-bats. This modest batting profile holds little appeal in standard leagues, and his pitching eligibility is a roster anomaly.
Detroit has a seven-game homestand this week, welcoming the Yankees and Astros. However, Massey is not scheduled for any pitching appearances and is projected for zero games played. With no active starts or plate appearances on the docket, he is an easy weekly bench. Verdict: Sit.
