Meadows, who has been out with a nerve issue in his throwing arm, threw to bases May 17 in Toronto. “Parker threw great,” Hinch said. “He's continued to take steps forward. Quality of throwing has been there and getting better and better. I think his confidence is growing.”

Parker Meadows returned to the Detroit Tigers after missing 60 games due to a rare nerve injury in his throwing shoulder. Meadows made an immediate impact in his return, contributing significantly to the Tigers' 13-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.
