Cameron Maybin (thumb) returns to Tigers lineup Monday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Cameron Maybin (thumb) is back in the starting lineup on Monday against the Chicago White Sox.

What It Means:

A jammed thumb kept Maybin out for a full week. He'll man center field and hit leadoff on Monday. Maybin is slashing .329/.401/.416 in 289 plate appearances this season.

Maybin hasn't shown any pop this year (.086 ISO), but his .360 wOBA is a career-best (minus 36 plate appearances in 2008). We project him to hit .264 with a .697 OPS over the remaining course of the season.
