Tigers News
The Tigers made headlines today by claiming outfielder James Outman from the Twins, a move necessitated by the unfortunate shift of Javy Báez to the 60-day IL due to a high ankle sprain. This roster shakeup comes on the heels of a dominant 11-0 victory over Minnesota, where Colt Keith celebrated his first career homer, adding to a hot week that saw the Tigers go 5-2 with a stunning run differential of +18. As if that weren’t enough, the return of two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is on the horizon, set to bolster the rotation this Saturday against the Guardians. With momentum building despite injuries, the Tigers are looking to keep the good vibes rolling and capitalize on their recent success.
