Presley is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Presley has assumed regular duties in right field since J.D. Martinez was dealt to the Diamondbacks and has thrived with the uptick in playing time, batting .407 over the past week. However, after going 0-for-4 in Monday's contest and given that left-hander Danny Duffy is taking the hill for KC, Presley will head to the bench for a night off. Andrew Romine will log a start in right field to replace him.

Presley will start in right field and bat second Monday against the Royals, Jeffrey Flanagan of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Alex Avila recording just two hits in his last 22 at-bats, he'll drop to seventh in the order Monday, opening up the two hole for Presley. The outfielder has certainly deserved the promotion up in the lineup, as he's put together an eight-game hitting streak while going 14-for-30 with seven runs during that span. Presley's modest career track record suggests he'll fall back to earth before long, but he could have some appeal in deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats while his bat remains hot.

Presley went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Presley recorded three hits for the second straight game, and he finished the weekend series against his former team 7-for-14 with three runs and two RBI. The 32-year-old appears to be establishing himself as an everyday player for the Tigers with his strong play.

Presley went 3-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Presley has been platooning in center field with Mikie Mahtook, and both players are also getting time in right along with Jim Adduci. With a .329/.380/.435 slash line on the season, Presley is doing what he can to carve out a larger share of playing time moving forward.

Presley is out of the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Royals, MLive Media Group's Evan Woodbery reports.
EDGE Analysis
Presley has started the past two games in the outfield, but will receive a breather with southpaw Danny Duffy taking the mound for Kansas City. In his place, Mikie Mahtook slides over to center while Andrew Romine draws the start in right.

Presley was a late addition to Tuesday's lineup against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Presley was originally left out of the starting nine since lefty Travis Wood is taking the hill for Kansas City, but he'll replace J.D. Martinez now that the slugger is now a member of the Diamondbacks. This may open up an opportunity for Presley to play every day, perhaps even when lefties are on the mound. For Tuesday's bout, he'll bat eighth and play right field.

Presley is out of the lineup Monday against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Presley will ride the pine Monday with Kansas City bringing southpaw Jason Vargas to the hill. Presley's platoon mate, Mikie Mahtook, will draw the start in center field.

Presley is starting in centerfield and batting leadoff Friday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
With Ian Kinsler sidelined due to flu-like symptoms, Presley will get a chance to start at the top of the order for the first time this season. The lefty has seen a nice bump in playing time since being called up by the Tigers at the end of May, hitting .297 over his last 18 contests to assume the role as the primary centerfielder, and should continue seeing further opportunities down the road for the struggling Tigers.

Presley went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Presley was just activated from the DL on Wednesday and got the night off Friday as the Tigers ease him back into the fold. However, he'll likely serve on the larger side of a center field platoon with Mikie Mahtook moving forward, so he could offer some fantasy value if he hits.

Presley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Indians.
EDGE Analysis
Presley just came back from the DL (concussion) on Wednesday, going 2-for-3 with two RBI and one run against the Giants in his return. The team will take it easy with the center fielder, as he gets a day off for Friday's series opener. In his place, Mikie Mahtook draws the start while batting eighth.
