Tigers Assign Outfielder to Triple-A
The Detroit Tigers have made a roster move, as they have assigned outfielder Trei Cruz to Triple-A Toledo.
The Detroit Tigers have demoted outfielder Trei Cruz to Triple-A Toledo, reports the Detroit News. The 28-year-old was first designated for assignment and later cleared waivers. Cruz will now aim to impress at the Triple-A level in hopes of regaining a spot on the Tigers' major league roster. In five games with the Tigers this season, he has been hitting just 0-for-5 with three strikeouts.
Cruz, a rookie in the MLB, has primarily spent the season in the minors. Over 75 games across Single-A and Triple-A, he has hit two home runs, driven in 27 RBIs, and batted .230. He enters Triple-A Toledo with a minor league track record of 262 games, hitting 48 home runs, driving in 120 doubles, 262 RBIs, and batting .236. Despite showing some potential, Cruz's future with the Tigers remains uncertain.
