Austin Meadows wasn't sure how long he would sit out.
Likewise, the Detroit Tigers weren't sure how long they would be without Meadows.
The 27-year-old, an All-Star in 2019, couldn't play because of vertigo.
"We're all human," Meadows said Friday. "You think of those things. You think of worst-case scenarios and best-case scenarios. In my case, the best-case scenario was being able to miss two or three weeks and being able to get back as soon as I could."
Before Meadows' return Tuesday, he missed several games in May, reporting a sinus infection, and last took the field May 15 against the Baltimore Orioles at Comerica Park.
