Here's when Detroit Tigers think outfielder Austin Meadows will return from vertigo

The Detroit Tigers recently didn't know when they would see outfielder Austin Meadows again.

He hasn't played since May 15 due to vertigo symptoms.

But Meadows traveled Tuesday to meet with Triple-A Toledo and will begin his rehab assignment Wednesday for the Mud Hens in Columbus, Ohio. He is expected to return to the Tigers for the upcoming road trip, meaning he could be back as soon as Friday against the New York Yankees.

"He's ready to go," Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday.

Meadows, acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays before Opening Day, spent the past week building up his strength and endurance in Lakeland, Florida, home of the Tigers' spring training facility.
