Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows has made "incremental gains" amid "rough times" as he continues treatment for anxiety and is focusing on his mental health, manager AJ Hinch said Saturday.

Hinch on Saturday said Meadows, who is on the 60-day injured list, hasn't been doing baseball activities while he's been in Tampa, Florida, and there's "no definitive plan" regarding his return.
