Jun 17 2025The Brewers activated Cameron (personal) from the paternity list Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was away for the final three games of the weekend series against the Cardinals but will be back for the start of the Brewers' series in Chicago versus the Cubs that begins Tuesday. The Brewers are scheduled to face all righties this week, so the right-handed-hitting Cameron might not see much playing time.
Jun 13 2025The Brewers placed Cameron on the paternity list Friday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will step away from the team for a few days to be with his growing family. Drew Avans was called up from Triple-A Nashville to bolster Milwaukee's outfield for this weekend's series versus St. Louis.
Jun 4 2025Cameron went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting the start in left field and batting fifth, Cameron got hold of an Andrew Abbott changeup in the sixth inning and drove it over the fence in left-center field for his first long ball of the season. Cameron is filling a short-side platoon role while Garrett Mitchell (oblique) remains sidelined, and he's collected five hits in his last three starts with a double, a homer, two RBI and four runs.
Jun 1 2025Cameron (knee) went 3-for-6 with a double and two runs in Saturday's 17-7 win over the Phillies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After suffering a left knee contusion Monday, Cameron didn't start the Brewers' ensuing three games, though he was used off the bench Wednesday. He made enough improvement to enter the lineup in left field Saturday, and he came through with his best effort of the season, with his three hits exceeding his total (two) from his first 21 at-bats with Milwaukee. With Jackson Chourio having shifted over to center field since Garrett Mitchell (oblique) landed on the injured list April 26, the Brewers have given opportunities in left field to Isaac Collins, Jake Bauers and Cameron, but none of the three has been able to take control of the job. After his strong showing Saturday, Cameron might not have to wait long to get his next start, but he'll likely need multiple quality performances at the dish to gain more job security.
May 31 2025Cameron (knee) is starting in left field and batting fifth against the Phillies on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been out of the Brewers' lineup since bruising his left knee during Monday's game against the Red Sox. He did pinch run for Milwaukee against Boston on Wednesday and has been cleared to return to the lineup. Cameron has gone 2-for-21 with one RBI, one steal and a 40.9 percent strikeout rate this season.
May 26 2025Cameron exited Monday's game against the Red Sox after the sixth inning due to a left knee contusion, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron went 0-for-3 at the plate before departing the contest, and he popped out to second base in the bottom of the sixth inning before being replaced by Sal Frelick in right field. Cameron's next chance to play will come Tuesday against Boston, though it's not a guarantee he'll be in the lineup even if he's healthy.
May 4 2025Cameron went 1-for-2 with a steal, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron entered the game as a replacement for Sal Frelick (knee) in the fourth inning. The 28-year-old journeyman made the most of his opportunity, stealing his first major-league base since Sept. 6, 2024, when he was with the Athletics. The extent of Frelick's injury is unknown that this time; however, Cameron and Jake Bauers would be the most likely candidates to see an increased role if Frelick has to be placed on the injured list.
Feb 7 2025The Orioles designated Cameron for assignment Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the recent additions of Dylan Carlson and Ramon Laureano, Cameron became superfluous. The 28-year-old Cameron does not have minor-league options remaining, which could hurt his appeal on waivers.
Oct 31 2024The Athletics traded Cameron to the Orioles on Thursday in exchange for cash. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After slashing .200/.258/.329 with 15 RBI across 186 plate appearances with the A's last season, Cameron will now move across the country to give the Orioles some additional outfield depth. Given how crowded Baltimore's outfield room is already, it's unlikely the 27-year-old takes on a meaningful role with the O's in 2025.
Sep 8 2024Cameron is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron appears to have lost hold of a regular spot in the Oakland lineup, as he'll take a seat for the Athletics' fifth consecutive matchup with a right-handed starter or opening pitcher. The left-handed-hitting Tristan Gray seems to have displaced Cameron in the everyday lineup, but the right-handed-hitting Cameron should still be a regular presence in the starting nine when the Athletics oppose lefties.
Sep 7 2024Cameron went 1-for-4 with one RBI and one stolen base in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron had a decent game, including his third steal in his last 11 contests. He's gone 8-for-40 (.200) with four RBI and 16 strikeouts in that span. However, it was the man who pinch hit for him -- Seth Brown -- who was the hero in Friday's contest with two clutch hits in extra innings. Cameron is at a .190/.255/.331 slash line with five home runs, five steals, 14 RBI and 19 runs scored over 157 plate appearances this year. Cameron has remained the Athletics' fourth outfielder even with Miguel Andujar (abdomen) being shut down for the year in late August.
Sep 3 2024Cameron isn't in the Athletics' lineup Tuesday against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will sit down for a second consecutive game after going 6-for-31 with 12 strikeouts across his past eight contests. Seth Brown will start in left field instead, opening up first base for Tristan Gray.
Sep 2 2024Cameron isn't in Oakland's lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has slashed .194/.188/.258 with three RBI while playing in each of the Athletics' last eight games, and he'll now receive a day off to regroup. Seth Brown will take over in left field while Cameron rests, allowing Tyler Nevin to start at first base.
Aug 28 2024Cameron will start in left field and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Athletics look set to give Cameron a look in an everyday role after Miguel Andujar (core) was placed on the injured list Wednesday. While Andujar was held out of the lineup both of the previous two contests, Cameron filled in for him in left field and went 1-for-6 with an RBI and a stolen base. Cameron is slashing .202/.279/.368 with five home runs and four steals across 129 plate appearances in the big leagues for the season.
Aug 26 2024Cameron went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a stolen base in a win over the Brewers on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron's fourth-inning sacrifice fly snapped a 2-2 tie and gave the Athletics a lead they'd hold on to the rest of the way. Cameron's stolen base was also his second in the last three games, and the veteran outfielder has now rather quietly fashioned a .303 average and .888 OPS with four extra-base hits, six RBI and seven runs across his last 15 contests overall.
Aug 23 2024Cameron went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Rays on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron drew his sixth start of August and managed to rap out a single for the third straight game. The journeyman outfielder appears set for intermittent playing time down the stretch, and his fantasy utility is very limited while sitting on a .189/.275/.358 slash line, even if he does have five homers and three steals in 120 MLB plate appearances this year.
Aug 12 2024Cameron went 1-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron drew his first start since last Monday and delivered his second extra-base hit since July 27. The little-used veteran holds just a .185 average and .659 OPS across 38 games at the big-league level in 2024, so his opportunities are likely to remain sparse as long as good health prevails in the Athletics' outfield.
Jul 31 2024Cameron went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron got the A's on the board with a solo blast in the second inning off Robbie Ray for his second homer over his last three games. Cameron's only made six starts in July and has reached safely in all of them. He's posted five hits with his two home runs being the only ones going for extra bases and the only times he's knocked in runs. The 27-year-old is slashing .188/.281/.388 with five homers, nine RBI, 13 runs, two steals and a 10:21 BB:K in 96 plate appearances this year.
Jul 28 2024Cameron went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a walk in a win over the Angels on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron managed to hit safely for the fourth straight start dating back to July 12 and added his first steal since June 1 for good measure. The 27-year-old is seeing occasional opportunities in the outfield and has also slotted in twice as the designated hitter, but his .184 average and .626 OPS don't make much of a case for reliable playing time.
Jul 26 2024Cameron went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Angels on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron's 382-foot shot to right center in the fourth inning ended up serving as the game-winning hit, as it gave the Athletics a one-run lead they wouldn't relinquish. The 27-year-old last left the yard June 28, and Thursday's start, which came in center field, was Cameron's first since July 13.
Jul 13 2024Cameron went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run in a win over the Phillies on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Usual leadoff hitter JJ Bleday opened the game on the bench with southpaw Ranger Suarez on the mound for the Phillies, and Cameron took advantage of his first taste of game action since last Saturday. The young outfielder has offered some decent pop -- he's laced five of his 12 hits for extra bases -- and has drawn walks at an impressive 11.1 percent clip. However, Cameron has also been saddled by an astoundingly low .180 BABIP, and he's been given scant opportunity to work out the kinks of late even with Esteury Ruiz's (wrist) absence now well into its second month.
Jun 28 2024Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Athletics hit a trio of solo shots in the ninth inning to run away with this game. Cameron's blast was his third of the year and just his second hit over his last nine contests. He's at a .177/.250/.355 slash line with with six RBI, seven runs scored and one stolen base through 68 plate appearances. Cameron's lack of consistency at the plate is likely to keep him in a part-time role as he competes with Lawrence Butler for playing time in right field.
Jun 16 2024Cameron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 6-2 loss to the Twins in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The homer was Cameron's first since his season debut May 23. He went 0-for-3 in the nightcap, but it's encouraging to see the outfielder maintain decent playing time. He hasn't done a lot with it, slashing .182/.234/.341 with two homers, five RBI, five runs scored and a 3:10 BB:K over 47 plate appearances this season. Cameron should continue to be an option in the corner outfield spots, though it wouldn't be a surprise for him to settle into a short-side platoon role if he can't find consistency at the plate.
Jun 12 2024Cameron will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Set for his fourth start in five games, Cameron's playing time is on the upswing, but he probably hasn't done enough to take control of an everyday role just yet. He went 1-for-11 with three strikeouts over his prior three starts and is now slashing .200/.200/.314 in 35 plate appearances over 11 games for Oakland since getting a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 23.
Jun 1 2024Cameron went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a stolen base in a win over Atlanta on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron opened the scoring on what would be a prolific afternoon for both teams with a first-inning double that plated Shea Langeliers and Miguel Andujar. Cameron would go on to record his first steal of the season as well, and the two-hit day snapped a 1-for-11 funk that had encompassed his previous three games. The 27-year-old boosted his average 50 points to .238 with his second multi-hit tally of the campaign, and the double served as his first extra-base hit since he'd homered in his season debut May 23.
May 23 2024Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron's blast was the reason the game went to extras, as he tied it at 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning. The outfielder earned a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas by slashing .299/.418/.569 over 41 contests, and it appears he'll compete for playing time in the corner outfield initially. Cameron last played in the majors in 2022, seeing action in 21 games for the Tigers. His speed is likely to be more prominent than his power, though he'll need to show he can hit major-league pitching at all to get regular reps.
May 17 2024Cameron is carrying a .404/.530/.827 slash line across the 66 plate appearances he's logged for Triple-A Las Vegas over 14 games in May. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has laced 14 of his 21 hits during that span for extra-bases as well, which has led to 16 RBI. He's also walking at a 19.7 percent clip while only striking out 13.6 percent of the time, making it a particularly impressive stretch of offensive production. However, Cameron has had similarly successful stints throughout his long minors career, only to significantly struggle against big-league arms when given the opportunity; therefore, even if he's able to break through with a promotion, it remains to be seen if Cameron will be able to carry over the momentum.
Dec 2 2022Cameron cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was claimed off waivers by the Orioles in November but won't retain his spot on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old appeared in 25 games for Detroit last season but spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he had a .240/.312/.392 slash line in 98 contests.
Nov 9 2022The Orioles claimed Cameron off waivers from the Tigers on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old Cameron, who was drafted by the Astros in 2015 and then traded to the Tigers in 2017 as part of the deal that sent Justin Verlander to Houston, will be moving on to his third organization. Since reaching the big leagues for the first time in 2020, Cameron has struggled to stick at baseball's top level, slashing .223/.288/.364 with a 31.6 percent strikeout rate across 244 plate appearances with Detroit over the past three seasons. The Orioles are expected to give Cameron a look in spring training and give him the chance to compete for a reserve role in the outfield, but because he has no minor-league options remaining, he would have to be traded or exposed to waivers if he's not included on the Opening Day roster.
Aug 9 2022Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday's loss to the Guardians, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was recalled from Toledo last week and will return there after going 1-for-8 with a walk and a run in three games. Overall he has a .219/.286/.344 slash line with one home run, eight RBI and two stolen bases in 21 big-league games this year.
Jun 26 2022Cameron (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list and optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron spent over two weeks on the COVID-19 IL for contact-tracing-related reasons, but he began a rehab assignment in Toledo on Thursday. The 25-year-old went 2-for-10 with a walk and four strikeouts during his rehab stint and will remain with the minor-league club now that he's been reinstated.
Jun 23 2022Cameron (illness) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been on the COVID-19 injured list since June 10, but he was cleared to rejoin the Tigers on Monday and resumed workouts. The 25-year-old will likely be reinstated from the IL following a brief rehab assignment.
Jun 20 2022Cameron cleared COVID-19 protocols Monday and resumed workouts, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been on the COVID-19 injured list for nearly two weeks. While he's now cleared protocols, he's expected to work out for the next few days and then begin a rehab assignment, so his return to the active roster is still several days away.
Jun 15 2022Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that Cameron has yet to clear MLB's COVID-19-related protocols and is without a timeline to rejoin the big club, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: When Cameron was placed on the COVID-19 injured list last Friday, Hinch noted that the outfielder didn't test positive for the virus and was instead ruled out for the next five days due to contact-tracing-related reasons. Because Cameron isn't eligible to rejoin the team five days later, he's seemingly since tested positive for the virus and will need more time off than expected before being activated. Hinch noted that Cameron will require a minor-league rehab assignment prior to coming off the IL, and it's possible that the 25-year-old may be optioned to Triple-A Toledo once reinstated now that Victor Reyes has taken over as the Tigers' No. 4 outfielder.
Jun 10 2022Cameron's placement on the COVID-19 injured list Friday was due to contact tracing rather than a positive test, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was reportedly a close contact of someone else who tested positive for the virus. He'll be out for a minimum of five days but may not miss any more time than that if he continues to test negative.
Jun 8 2022Cameron went 2-for-4 with a double, a triple and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his fifth start in the last six games, Cameron was effective from the No. 9 spot in the lineup. He's only batting .232 overall, though the outfielder has upped that to .333 over his past five appearances. Cameron has some tools, and he's worth at least a look in fantasy while he's seeing playing time and performing consistently at the plate.
Jun 2 2022Cameron went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron picked a good time for his first home run of the season, taking Emilio Pagan deep in the eighth inning with a runner on to turn a 2-1 deficit into an eventual 3-2 win. The outfielder is still batting just .195 with a .576 OPS, and he doesn't have a locked in role either, so fantasy managers should still probably look elsewhere until further notice.
Jun 1 2022Cameron is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron takes a seat with theTigers breaking in recent call-up Kody Clemens into the outfield Wednesday. The 25-year-old started in each of Detroit's last seven games and slashed .174/.296/.217 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base.
May 31 2022Cameron will start in right field and bat eighth in the first game Tuesday's doubleheader with the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will be making his sixth consecutive start and looks like he could get the chance to play regularly against both left- and right-handed pitching following Robbie Grossman's (neck) placement on the 10-day injured list Monday. Through 36 plate appearances with Detroit this season, Cameron is slashing a woeful .156/.250/.156.
May 29 2022Cameron will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since being called up from Triple-A Toledo on May 16, Cameron has produced a modest .542 OPS, but that hasn't stopped manager A.J. Hinch from giving the outfielder steady playing time. Cameron will pick up his fourth consecutive start Sunday, this time manning right field in place of Robbie Grossman, who is serving as Detroit's designated hitter.
May 22 2022Cameron is starting in center field and batting ninth in Sunday's game against the Guardians. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This will be Cameron's second appearance in a game since getting recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. For the season, the 25-year-old has just one hit in eight at-bats, and he's nothing more than outfield depth at this point.
May 16 2022The Tigers recalled Cameron from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With both Austin Meadows (illness) and Victor Reyes (quadriceps) heading to the injured list Monday, Cameron will rejoin the big club to provide an additional body in the outfield. Cameron isn't expected to contend for an everyday role while he's up with the big club, as the Tigers are likely to deploy Robbie Grossman, Willi Castro and Derek Hill as their regular outfielders until one of Meadows or Reyes is ready to come off the IL.
Apr 23 2022Cameron was returned to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron served as the Tigers 29th man for Saturday's doubleheader against the Rockies. He started the second game, going 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Cameron has gotten off to a terrible start with Toledo, as he's hitting just .185/.233/.259 across 30 plate appearances.
Apr 20 2022Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday's loss to the Yankees. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been with the big-league club the past five days but appeared in only one game, going 0-for-3 with a walk, a run and two strikeouts. He'll return to Toledo, where he went 4-for-24 with 10 strikeouts over the first six games of the season.
Apr 16 2022Cameron went 0-for-3 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He accounted for Detroit's only run of the day, coming home on a Dustin Garneau double after drawing a free pass and swiping second with two outs in the second inning. Cameron was getting the start in center field with southpaw Kris Bubic on the mound for Kansas City, and he could serve on the short side of a platoon with Akil Baddoo for the time being. Some time over the summer, however, top prospect Riley Greene (foot) will claim center for himself once he's healthy and the Tigers decide he's ready for his big-league debut.
Apr 15 2022Cameron was recalled by the Tigers on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will replace starting pitcher Casey Mize, who landed on the injured list with a sprained right elbow. His stay on the roster may be a brief one, as Derek Hill (hamstring) could return soon. Cameron has hit just .194/.259/.325 through 52 career major-league games.
Mar 28 2022The Tigers optioned Cameron to Triple-A Toledo on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron turned in an .820 OPS over his eight spring games heading into Monday, but that solid showing over a small sample wasn't enough to override what's been a rather unremarkable body of work at the MLB level over parts of the past two seasons. In 174 career MLB plate appearances, Cameron has produced a .194/.259/.325 slash line with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate. The Tigers will let him play on an everyday basis at Toledo to begin the 2022 campaign, but he should be near the top of the list for a promotion if the big club needs another outfielder at any point.
Mar 20 2022Cameron went 3-for-3 with a solo home run and two RBI in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron is likely looking at a reserve outfield role at best to begin the season, as the Tigers have the likes of Robbie Grossman, Akil Baddoo and top prospect Riley Greene as potential starters. Cameron didn't do much to earn more playing time in 2021, posting a .194/.278/.359 slash line across 35 games, so a good spring would help his standing in the organization.
Oct 3 2021Cameron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's 5-2 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron split time between Triple-A Toledo and the major-league club this year, but he started each of the final three games of the regular season and recorded hits in each of those appearances. The 24-year-old played in 35 big-league games during the 2021 campaign and hit .194 with four homers, 16 runs, 13 RBI and six stolen bases.
Sep 27 2021Cameron is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The righty-hitting Cameron will take a seat Monday versus southpaw Dallas Keuchel, an indication that Cameron may be falling out of favor even as a short-side platoon player in the outfield. Since returning to the majors just over a week ago, Cameron has appeared in five games and has gone 3-for-11 with a 2:6 BB:K.
Sep 25 2021Cameron will sit Saturday against Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron started two games in a row to begin the week but has now been on the bench for two straight. Robbie Grossman will again move to right field while Akil Baddoo starts in left.
Sep 24 2021Cameron is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Royals, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron started a pair of games in right field but will now retreat to the bench despite the fact that he went 3-for-5 with two walks and a steal in those games. Akil Baddoo, Victor Reyes and Robbie Grossman will be the outfielders for the Tigers.
Sep 21 2021Cameron went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, and Tuesday's hits were his first at the MLB level since the end of August. The 24-year-old outfielder could see some semi-regular playing time down the stretch with Derek Hill (knee) on the injured list, though Victor Reyes, who recorded four hits himself Tuesday, could also see a larger role.
Sep 19 2021Cameron was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was optioned to the minors in late August but will return to the Tigers with Derek Hill (knee) and Gregory Soto (finger) heading to the injured list. Cameron has a .177/.235/.342 slash line in 85 plate appearances in the majors this season.
Aug 28 2021Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Saturday's loss to the Blue Jays, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron served as a pinch runner during Saturday's contest but didn't come around to score. The 24-year-old will head back to Toledo so he can receive more regular at-bats, though he's expected to rejoin the big-league club before the end of the season.
Aug 22 2021Cameron is starting in right field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron returned from the injured list Thursday and picked up two straight starts before getting a day off Saturday. The 24-year-old is slashing just .182/.250/.348 through 20 games this season, but the Tigers may be inclined to take a look at him the rest of the campaign as they evaluate their younger players.
Aug 19 2021The Tigers reinstated Cameron (toe/ankle) from the 10-day injured list Thursday. He'll start in center field and bat fifth in the Tigers' series finale with the Angels, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was initially placed on the IL on July 7 with a sprained toe in his right foot, then had his recovery timeline pushed back when he rolled his left ankle. However, after heading to Triple-A Toledo last week to begin a rehab assignment and going 4-for-20 with a double and stolen base over five games, he's been cleared to rejoin the big club. Fellow outfielders Derek Hill (rib) and Akil Baddoo (concussion) are currently rehabbing at Toledo and are expected to remain with the affiliate through the weekend, so Cameron and Victor Reyes could split duties in center field for the next few games.
Aug 11 2021Cameron (toe/ankle) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron's rehab from a right toe sprain was recently delayed after he rolled his left ankle, but he's been cleared to return to game action in the minors. He went 1-for-5 with a double, a run, an RBI and two strikeouts in his first rehab game, and the Tigers haven't yet announced how many Triple-A appearances he'll require before he's able to rejoin the major-league club.
Aug 6 2021Cameron's recovery from his sprained toe has been set back briefly after the outfielder rolled his left ankle, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron is now dealing with injuries in both legs, as he adds the minor left ankle issue to the sprained toe on his right foot. He's already been out for a month, with the Tigers yet to specify exactly when he's expected to return.
Jul 7 2021Cameron was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right toe sprain Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron sustained a toe injury prior to Monday's game against the Rangers, and the issue will keep him sidelined until after the All-Star break. Akil Baddoo should serve as the primary center fielder in Cameron's absence, while Niko Goodrum (finger) was reinstated from the 10-day IL in a corresponding move.
Jul 6 2021Cameron (toe) will be unavailable Tuesday and Wednesday, and he may be placed on the injured list, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even if Cameron's sprained toe, which he suffered pregame Monday, isn't too severe, he could move to the IL and return after the All-Star break. The 24-year-old has gone 5-for-28 in his last 10 games. If Cameron does end up on the IL, Akil Baddoo figures to start every game for the Tigers leading up to the break.
Jul 5 2021Cameron was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Rangers with a sprained great right toe. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was slated to start in center field and bat sixth, but he'll now be held out due to a toe sprain. According to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Cameron suffered the injury pregame when he collided with the outfield wall while tracking flyballs. He should be considered day-to-day as the injury is evaluated.
Jul 4 2021Cameron went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 win over the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron was limited to a bench role Saturday, but he was able to snap an 0-for-12 skid in his return to the starting nine Sunday. The outfielder's recent slump has dropped his slash line to .207/.270/.397 through 63 plate appearances. He's a perfect 4-for-4 in stolen base attempts with three home runs, nine RBI and 10 runs scored in 18 games, but he'll need to be more consistent at the plate to avoid losing playing time in Detroit's outfield.
Jul 3 2021Cameron is not starting Saturday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite Chicago starting southpaw Dallas Keuchel, Detroit will go with left-handed bat Akil Baddoo in center field, which pushes Cameron to the bench after two straight starts. Baddoo has five hits in his last 10 at-bats, so the team likely just wants to keep his hot bat in the lineup. Cameron should work his way back into the starting nine soon, potentially alongside Baddoo, as manager A.J. Hinch has been willing to play the two young outfielders together rather than in a strict platoon.
Jun 27 2021Cameron is starting in right field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Akil Baddoo is starting in center field and batting first, but the Tigers seem to be getting more comfortable with starting both young outfielders after they worked in a platoon initially. That makes the Detroit outfield a bit more crowded, as Nomar Mazara, Robbie Grossman and Eric Haase are also jockeying for playing time. With the 33-44 Tigers looking more toward the future, the 24-year-old Cameron will likely continue to receive ample opportunities the rest of the season.
Jun 26 2021Cameron is starting in center field and batting fifth in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Framber Valdez on the bump for Houston, Cameron gets the nod in center with Akil Baddoo hitting the bench. The two outfielders have formed a platoon lately, though they did both start in the team's last game Thursday. Cameron should continue to see regular playing time for the Tigers, but Baddoo may force him out of the lineup against right-handed starters, unless Detroit continues to start them both.
Jun 24 2021Cameron went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Astros. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has only appeared in 10 games for the Tigers but he's been good when given a chance, as he now has a .917 OPS and nine RBI. While the team has been platooning Cameron and Akil Baddoo in center field, they both started in Thursday's game. The 32-43 Tigers figure to give plenty of opportunities to young players the rest of the way, so Cameron should have the chance to build on his good start.
Jun 23 2021Cameron went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over St. Louis. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron put Detroit ahead with a solo shot in the fourth inning. In the eighth, he walked and stole second base before scoring on an Isaac Paredes sacrifice fly. Cameron was quiet when he first got called up, but he's now hit safely in his last five games, going 7-for-20 (.350) with two home runs, six RBI, four runs scored and a pair of stolen bases in that span. The 24-year-old is seeing a part-time role for now, but more success at the plate could earn him a larger share of the workload in center field.
Jun 21 2021Cameron went 2-for-5 with two RBI in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron struck out in his other three at-bats and also left five runners on base, so his effort showed the highs and lows that often come with young players. For the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .233/.258/.467 with seven RBI in eight games. He's also striking out 32.3 percent of the time.
Jun 19 2021Cameron went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 23-year-old outfielder got Detroit on the board with a solo shot in the fifth inning. He added an RBI single in the sixth, although Detroit's rally came up short in the end. Cameron has gone just 5-for-25 in his first seven major-league games, but three of those hits have gone for extra bases (two homers, one double). He figures to see the short side of a platoon with Akil Baddoo in center field.
Jun 13 2021Cameron is starting in center field and batting sixth in Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will start for the second straight time to wrap up the weekend series, and he also homered off the bench in Friday's game. The 24-year-old has a chance to carve out a bigger role in Detroit with Derek Hill (shoulder) on the injured list and JaCoby Jones optioned to Triple-A Toledo. Akil Baddoo will also be in the mix for outfield playing time, but he is out of the lineup Sunday.
Jun 12 2021Cameron went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run Friday agains the White Sox that tied the game in the bottom of the ninth inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He took closer Liam Hendriks deep to the opposite field for his first career home run in the majors. Cameron has one home run and one steal in six plate appearances after putting up impressive numbers at Triple-A. Particularly noteworthy is the fact he logged a 17.6 percent strikeout rate while hitting .338/.400/.558 with two home runs and three steals in 18 games for the Mud Hens. If he continues to perform capably, there should be playing time available, and his combination of power and speed could move the needle in deeper roto leagues.
Jun 10 2021The Tigers recalled Cameron from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Thursday's game against the Mariners. He'll start in center field and bat sixth in his 2021 big-league debut, according to Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will join the active roster as a replacement for injured outfielder Derek Hill (shoulder) after contributing a .338/.400/.558 slash line with nine extra-base hits and three stolen bases in 85 plate appearances at Triple-A this season. In his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, Cameron struggled to make consistent contact (32.2 percent strikeout rate) and submitted a lowly .220 on-base average, but the Tigers are hoping his latest trip to the majors goes more smoothly. Though he'll draw into the lineup Thursday against Mariners lefty Justus Sheffield, the right-handed-hitting Cameron could have to settle for short-side platoon duty in center field with the lefty-hitting Akil Baddoo while Hill is on the mend.
May 19 2021Cameron (wrist) was activated from the injured list and started in center field Wednesday for Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old was sidelined for the start of the minor-league season by a fractured right wrist, but he's in the lineup for the Mud Hens on Wednesday. Cameron made his big-league debut with Detroit last season and had a .193/.220/.263 slash line in 17 games.
May 4 2021Cameron was placed on Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron may have picked up the injury while playing at the Tigers' alternate training site over the past few weeks after he failed to crack the Opening Day roster. A formal target date for Cameron's return to game action hasn't been established, but Jason Beck of MLB.com relays that the Tigers anticipate the outfielder will be ready to play in a couple of weeks.
Mar 26 2021Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 24-year-old missed the first couple weeks of camp with an elbow injury and was unable to crack the Opening Day roster. Cameron made his big-league debut for the Tigers last season and posted a .193/.220/.263 slash line in 59 plate appearances, and he's a strong bet to return to the majors at some point in 2021.
Mar 13 2021Cameron (elbow) is in the lineup for Saturday's spring game against the Phillies, according to Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been brought along slowly this spring due to the elbow injury he suffered during Winter League, but he took his first two at-bats of the spring Friday and will be in the lineup for the first time a day later. Cameron will be eased into action as the designated hitter, but it should not be long before he is back in his customary spot in the outfield.
Mar 10 2021Cameron (elbow) will take live batting practice Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has dealt with a right elbow issue since before camp, but he's nearing his spring debut. If all goes well during his live batting practice, he's scheduled to take at-bats as the designated hitter Friday before starting Saturday's game in that role. Although the 24-year-old hasn't been cleared for outfield work, he appears to be progressing well in his recovery.
Mar 7 2021Cameron (elbow) will take live batting practice next week and could get into a game as a designated hitter by the end of the week, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been dealing with a right elbow issue since before camp began. While he's expected to start hitting soon, he's not yet cleared to play the outfield. Cameron was already facing a potentially difficult battle to claim an Opening Day roster spot after posting a .483 OPS in his 17-game debut last season, and the lost practice time this spring can't help his chances even if he's fully cleared to play soon.
Feb 24 2021Cameron (elbow) was tracking pitches but not swinging Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron has been limited to begin spring training due to a right elbow injury he sustained while playing in Puerto Rico during the offseason. The 24-year-old hasn't yet resumed a full throwing program, but manager AJ Hinch was hopeful he'd be able to take batting practice within the coming days. Cameron will likely be back to full speed in time for Opening Day, but he could have to settle for a backup role in the outfield if he doesn't get enough opportunities during spring training.
Feb 22 2021Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Sunday that Cameron remains limited due to the right elbow injury he sustained while playing in Puerto Rico during the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Hinch noted that while Cameron is taking part in team meetings along with batting and running drills, the 24-year-old has not yet been cleared to resume a full throwing program. Cameron isn't believed to have experienced any setbacks in his recovery from the injury, so the Tigers are seemingly just ramping him up gradually in the early stages of spring training. Cameron should be back to full health by Opening Day, but the elbow injury may be enough to keep him from the outside looking in for the Tigers' starting center field job.
Jan 29 2021Cameron, who left the Puerto Rican Winter League with an arm injury, appears healthy and is expected to be ready for spring training, the Detroit Free Press reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll fight for at-bats in the Tigers outfield, and while he isn't guaranteed anything, it's not like JaCoby Jones, Victor Reyes and Robbie Grossman are insurmountable obstacles, either.
Jan 4 2021Cameron went to Florida to have his sore right arm examined Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron had been playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League but had only appeared in two games (going hitless in both) before the arm troubles popped up. Whether or not the issue will affect him heading into the 2021 season remains to be seen.
Sep 22 2020Cameron went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Batting ninth, Cameron provided some punch from the bottom of the order. The 23-year-old rookie is still batting just .154, though he does now have two multi-hit performances across his last three starts, and he should continue to get regular playing time in the final week of the season.
Sep 19 2020Cameron went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI in Saturday's 5-2 win over Cleveland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron came into the contest batting just .071 on the season, so it was nice to see the 23-year-old contribute two hits for the first time in his MLB career. He should continue to see playing time down the stretch as the Tigers' playoff chances fade and they look toward the 2021 season.
Sep 18 2020Cameron is not in the lineup Friday against the Indians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron is 1-for-27 through his first eight big-league appearances and will head to the bench for the second time in the past three games. Harold Castro starts in right field for the Tigers.
Sep 16 2020Cameron is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Cameron will cede his spot in the lineup to Travis Demeritte, who will pick up a start in left field. The rookie outfielder started in each of his first seven games since his Sept. 9 callup, going 1-for-24 with one walk against 10 strikeouts.
Sep 11 2020Cameron went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Friday's 4-3 loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Since making his MLB debut Wednesday, Cameron had gone 0-for-9, so it was nice to see him collect his first MLB hit and RBI. The 23-year-old is one of Detroit's top prospects, and the Tigers will likely want to take a long look at him during the rest of the abbreviated 2020 season.
Sep 9 2020Cameron was recalled by the Tigers and is starting in right field while batting seventh Wednesday against the Brewers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The son of former big leaguer Mike Cameron, Daz is a similar player, offering above-average raw power and plus speed that aids him on the bases and while patrolling the outfield -- he can play all three spots. Cameron stalled in two seasons at Triple-A and was slowed this summer after contracting COVID-19, but since he is already on the 40-man roster, it's not surprising that the Tigers want to see what he looks like against big-league pitching over the final two-plus weeks. Even when he has struggled with strikeouts, Cameron has taken his walks in the minors, so he could chip in some steals down the stretch even if he struggles to do damage at the plate.
Mar 10 2020Cameron was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: This move was inevitable, as Cameron has been unable to master Triple-A over the past two seasons. The Tigers will hope he fares better in his age-23 season, and as a member of the 40-man roster, he will probably make his big-league debut this summer unless he is awful for the Mud Hens.
Jun 18 2018Cameron was promoted to Double-A Erie on Monday.The 21-year-old outfielder, who was acquired in the Justin Verlander trade with Houston, posted a .259/.346/.370 slash line with 10 steals in 58 games with High-A Lakeland this season. Cameron will now get his first taste of Double-A competition as he continues his way up the ladder for a Tigers organization in need of some dynamic outfielders. Leonys Martin has been solid in center field, but he's 30 years old and probably not a long term piece, while JaCoby Jones (.228/.274/.388) hasn't provided much from left field.
