GAME LOG

Grant Witherspoon - Acquired by DET in trade The Tigers acquired Witherspoon in a trade with the Rays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Witherspoon played 115 games for Double-A Montgomery and Triple-A Durham in 2022, and the outfielder hit .266 with an .809 OPS along with 17 homers over 470 plate appearances. The 2018 fourth-round selection has a chance to make his MLB debut at some point in 2023.

Michael Lorenzen - Resumes mound work Lorenzen (groin) threw a bullpen session earlier this week and will throw another one Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Lorenzen is expected to be on the injured list to begin the season with a left groin strain, but he seems to be making nice progress. The right-hander will probably need a rehab start before returning but might only wind up missing the minimum 15 days.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Beau Brieske - Managing arm discomfort The Tigers announced Wednesday that Brieske is experiencing right upper arm discomfort following his most recent Grapefruit League outing last Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com re...
Impact Brieske is slated to undergo further medical evaluation before the Tigers provide a more precise diagnosis of his injury, but Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press already reported earlier Wednesday that the 24-year-old right-hander is set to begin the season on the 15-day injured list. Expect Detroit to make that transaction official shortly before Thursday's season opener versus the Rays. With Brieske out of contention for a spot on the Opening Day roster, Garrett Hill will make the team as a long reliever and potential spot-starting option if Matthew Boyd (undisclosed) is forced to miss his first turn through the rotation this weekend in Tampa Bay.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Freddy Pacheco - Starts throwing program next week Pacheco (elbow) will begin a throwing program next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Pacheco was placed on the 60-day injured list earlier this week with a right elbow sprain but has apparently progressed enough that he's almost ready to throw again. A sprain is a ligament tear, so Tommy John surgery would likely be on the table if Pacheco isn't able to progress, but for now he'll attempt rehab.

Ex-Yankees, Mets reliever makes Opening Day roster The Detroit Tigers are finalizing roster moves ahead of Opening Day.
MARCH 29, 2023 • NJ.COM
Rony García - Outrighted to Triple-A Garcia was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers on Wednesday.
Impact Garcia is now off the 40-man roster but remains in the organization. The 25-year-old has made a full-time move to the bullpen and will pitch in that role for Toledo.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Wingenter - Makes Opening Day roster Wingenter will be on the Tigers' 26-man roster to begin the season, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Wingenter will see his first big-league action since 2019, when he posted a 5.65 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 51 innings for the Padres. The Tigers don't boast much bullpen talent, so Wingenter could work his way into some high-leverage opportunities.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chasen Shreve - Makes Opening Day roster Shreve will be a part of Detroit's Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Shreve earns a spot on the Tigers after forging a 2.25 ERA, 10:3 K:BB and even 1.00 WHIP over eight innings in eight appearances in the Grapefruit League. The southpaw was signed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training over the winter, so Detroit will have to add Shreve to the 40-man roster before Opening Day on Thursday.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Garrett Hill - Part of Opening Day roster Hill will be a part of Detroit's Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Hill earned one of the final spots on the Detroit roster despite posting a 7.11 ERA and 1.58 WHIP over 12.2 innings in the Grapefruit League. The 27-year-old right-hander not only is a part of the Opening Day pitching staff, but he could be tasked with starts as Beau Brieske is heading to the injured list to open the season.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Beau Brieske - Likely headed to injured list Brieske will likely start the year on the injured list, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact It's not yet known what will cause Brieske to miss time. The right-hander was considered a potential starter to begin the year for the Tigers, but that obviously won't take place now. The 24-year-old held his own in 15 starts with Detroit in 2022 with a 4.19 ERA and 54:25 K:BB over 81.2 innings.

Garrett Hill - Still battling for role Hill is likely battling for one of three remaining bullpen spots in Detroit along with Tyler Holton, Chasen Shreve, Trey Wingenter and Beau Brieske, Chris McCosky of The Detroit Ne...
Impact Holton and Shreve are both lefties, so the Tigers will likely want to keep one or both of them as situational options. Hill may still make the team as a long reliever, as he made eight starts last season as a rookie. The righty held his own with a 4.03 ERA, though he only had 40 strikeouts across 60.1 innings, so he seems unlikely to dominate batters out of the bullpen.

Chasen Shreve - Looks set to make team Shreve has a clearer path to an Opening Day bullpen spot with the Tigers reassigning Jace Fry, Trevor Rosenthal and Matt Wisler to minor-league camp Monday
Impact Shreve has pitched well this spring with a 2.25 ERA and 10 strikeouts across eight Grapefruit League innings. It looks like that will help the lefty make the team with the Tigers thinning out their options Monday. Shreve figures to mostly be used situationally against left-handed hitters and likely won't have a ton of fantasy appeal, at least in the early going.
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Kreidler - Seems likely to make team With the Tigers optioning Akil Baddoo and Zack Short to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Kreidler has a clearer path to an Opening Day roster spot.
Impact Kreidler is versatile enough to play across the infield and in the outfield, and that appeared to give him the edge over Baddoo and Short. Even if he sticks on the roster into the regular season, Kreidler is unlikely to have a huge fantasy impact after recording a .477 OPS across 26 games with the Tigers last year.
MARCH 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kerry Carpenter - Roster spot looks more secure With the Tigers optioning Akil Baddoo to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Carpenter has a clearer path to an Opening Day roster spot.
Impact Carpenter and Baddoo were seemingly vying for a reserve outfielder role in camp, and for now, Carpenter is the last player standing. He showed flashes as a rookie in 2022 with a .795 OPS across 31 games while Baddoo struggled at the plate. Austin Meadows, Riley Greene and Matt Vierling seem likely to start in the outfield for Detroit, though Carpenter could earn himself more playing time as the season progresses.

Jonathan Davis - Sent out to minors camp The Tigers reassigned Davis to minor-league camp Monday.
Impact With Akil Baddoo getting sent out to Triple-A Toledo and with Davis getting reassigned, Detroit appears set to enter the regular season with Riley Greene, Austin Meadows Matt Vierling, Kerry Carpenter and utility men Zach McKinstry and Ryan Kreidler as its options in the outfield. Davis, who slashed .224/.344/.237 in 91 plate appearances in the majors with Milwaukee in 2022, is likely to join Baddoo in Toledo to begin the 2023 campaign.
