Presley went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Presley was playing well before missing about two weeks with an oblique injury, and he now has four hits over his first two games back from the DL. With a .327 average and .800 OPS, Presley should continue to work in center and right field along with Mikie Mahtook, although the Tigers also are likely to try out Nick Castellanos in right down the stretch to make room for prospect Jeimer Candelario at third. It will be interesting to see how manager Brad Ausmus juggles his options in the outfield the rest of the way.

Presley (oblique) was activated from the 10-day DL following Friday's loss to the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Presley missed about two weeks of action before starting a rehab assignment Wednesday, and he proved that he was ready to go in fairly short order. Presley should work his way back into the center field mix with Mikie Mahtook. Jim Adduci was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to make room on the roster.

Presley (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder has been sidelined for nearly two weeks while recovering from a right oblique strain, but his recent progress in baseball activities has provided a positive outlook as to a quick return. It's unclear how many rehab games Presley will require before he returns to the Tigers, but he could be back sometime during this weekend's series with the Twins, barring any setbacks.

Presley (oblique) is scheduled to resume baseball activities on the field Monday and Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will mark the first baseball activities Presley has taken part in since landing on the disabled list at the end of July. If all goes well, the hope is that he'll be able to head out on a rehab assignment shortly after, which would be the last step in his rehab before rejoining the Tigers. Jim Adduci should continue to man right field while Presley is sidelined.

Presley said Sunday that he an MRI revealed he suffered a mild strain of his lower right oblique muscle, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers moved Presley to the 10-day disabled list Saturday with what was labeled as a hip issue, but the MRI helped provide further clarification. While it's good to hear that the strain is considered mild, oblique injuries can often result in volatile return timetables, so until Presley resumes full baseball activities, his activation shouldn't be considered forthcoming. Jim Adduci and Andrew Romine will likely share duties in right field for the Tigers until Presley is healthy again

Presley (hip) will be placed on the 10-day DL prior to Saturday's game against the Astros, Anthony Fenech of Free Press Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Presley has apparently been battling a hip injury since last weekend, and the outfielder is set to undergo an MRI on Friday to determine the severity of the issue. He hasn't played since Wednesday against Kansas City, and didn't record a hit during the three-game set beginning on Monday. The Tigers recalled Jim Adduci from Triple-A Toledo to take his place, while more information should be revealed following Presley's tests.
