The Detroit Tigers are coming off a series against the Minnesota Twins in which they dropped two out of three taking the middle game which just so happened to be started by Tarik Skubal who picked up his 12th win going seven innings giving up two runs on five hits; he walked two and struck out right. Today they will start a short two-game series against the Cleveland Guardians to wrap up their season series; the Tigers are 6-5 against the Guardians and have outscored them 56-37 in those 11 games. Yesterday they traded catcher Carson Kelly to the Texas Rangers for two prospects which opened up a roster spot and that’ll be the Tigers’ seventh-ranked prospect by ITD Dillon Dingler who is being called up from Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers earlier today also acquired Ricky Vanasco from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash considerations. The other moves the Tigers have done today include, placing Javier Baez on the medical emergency/bereavement list, recalling Ryan Kreidler, optioning Easton Lucas to Toledo, and selecting Bryan Sammons from Triple-A Toledo.
