The 26-year-old outfielder was placed on the 10-day IL for now with a concussion and a broken arm, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group. With Meadows focusing on recovering from the concussion and broken arm, the Tigers are recalling outfielder Wenceel Perez from Triple-A Toledo.
"The Tigers have placed Parker Meadows on the injured list with a concussion and a broken arm," reported Woodbery. "Outfielder Wenceel Perez recalled from Triple-A Toledo and in the lineup tonight."
Due to Meadows suffering a broken arm , it's likely the four-year veteran remains on the IL for much longer than 10 days. On average, it takes six to eight weeks just for the cast to be removed. The Tigers could be without Meadows for multiple months.
It's a shame the injury occurred, as Parker Meadows was having a solid start to the 2026 season. Through 36 at-bats, Meadows recorded nine hits, two RBIs, and three stolen bases, giving him a .250 batting average and .308 OBP.

Detroit will be playing Riley Greene, Wenceel Perez, and Javier Baez in the outfield. The Marlins-Tigers game is scheduled to begin at 6:40 p.m. EST.
