Monday's Transactions BASEBALL Major League Baseball American League DETROIT TIGERS — Recalled RHP Bryan Garcia from Toledo (IL).

OCTOBER 3, 2022 • SANDIEGOUNIONTRIBUNE.COM

Bryan Garcia - Call-up official The Tigers recalled Garcia from Triple-A Toledo ahead of his scheduled start Monday in Seattle.

Impact Lefty Joey Wentz was demoted to the minors Sunday to clear a spot on the active roster for Garcia, who is set to make his fourth start of the season for Detroit. Over his previous three outings in the big leagues spanning 13.2 innings, Garcia was charged with five earned runs on nine hits and eight walks while striking out 11.

Alex Lange - Secures win in relief Lange (7-4) pitched a scoreless inning of relief and earned the win Sunday against the Twins. He struck out two.

Impact Lange has worked in a middle-relief role all season with no saves, though he's had some fantasy value with the seven wins, which are actually tied for the most on the team. Reliever wins are volatile, however, so it's unclear if Lange will maintain as much fantasy appeal in 2023 if he's still setting up Gregory Soto in the Detroit bullpen.

Victor Reyes - Goes deep Sunday Reyes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Twins.

Impact Reyes batted ninth and provided some rare pop, as the home run was just his second of the season. The outfielder's career high is the five long balls he hit last season, as he's settled in as a contact hitter during his time in the majors. Reyes is useful as outfield depth on an MLB roster, though he lacks a ton of fantasy upside without great power or speed production.

Eric Haase - Goes deep again Sunday Haase went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, two runs scored and two total RBI in Sunday's win over the Twins.

Impact After going deep Saturday, Haase hit another home run Sunday, pushing him to 14 long balls this season. He seems unlikely to match last year's 22 home runs, though his .257 batting average and .757 OPS are both improvements on his 2021 figures. After two solid seasons, Haase should head into 2023 with a fairly solid role in Detroit, likely as the team's top catcher.

Gregory Soto - Nabs 30th save Soto pitched a clean ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Twins. He struck out two.

Impact Soto, who came into the season with 20 career MLB saves, is now up to 30 in 32 chances this year. The lefty has a solid 3.17 ERA as well, and he's been even better lately with a 0.93 ERA across his last 10 games. Soto should continue to be a strong fantasy asset in 2023, even if the team around him struggles to win a ton of games.

Joey Wentz - Demoted after Sunday's start Wentz was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after he allowed two unearned runs on two hits and four walks over 4.2 innings Sunday against the Twins, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. T...

Impact Wentz pitched well but didn't qualify for the victory since he was pulled during the fifth inning after Minnesota tallied two runs on three walks, an error and a sacrifice fly. It was the 24-year-old's final outing of the season, and he closed the campaign with a 3.03 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB across 32.2 innings. He should enter spring training with a chance to secure a rotation spot to begin 2023 after a strong showing in his first taste of the big leagues this year.

Bryan Garcia - Set to start Monday Garcia will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to start Monday against the Mariners, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Garcia was last in the majors in mid-August and delivered a quality start against Cleveland, and he'll rejoin the big-league rotation once more during the final week of the season. The 27-year-old has a 3.29 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB in 13.2 frames across his three starts for Detroit this year.

Ryan Kreidler - Starting Sunday Kreidler is starting at shortstop and batting eighth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Kreidler picks up a start with Javier Baez getting the day game off. The rookie is stuck in a reserve role and is slashing just .190/.243/.254 this season, so he doesn't figure to offer a ton of fantasy value Sunday. He'll likely have to settle for a similar role in 2023 with Baez locked up on a six-year deal that he signed last offseason.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Akil Baddoo - Leading off again Sunday Baddoo will start in left field and bat first in Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Baddoo will be leading off for the fourth straight game, as the Tigers take a longer look at the speedy youngster heading into 2023. After a nice rookie campaign last year, Baddoo has mostly struggled this season with a .199 batting average, though he's upped that to .273 over his last 10 games.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Javier Báez - Steps out of lineup Baez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

Impact Baez started the past 12 games and will receive a day off after he posted a .245/.275/.449 slash line with three home runs and seven RBI during that stretch. Ryan Kreidler will start at shortstop and bat ninth in the series finale.

Andrew Chafin - Earns second save Chafin gave up one hit and no walks while striking out two over a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in a 3-2 victory over the Twins on Saturday.

Impact The Tigers were forced to go to their bullpen in the fifth inning, and by the time they reached the ninth, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch decided to play his preferred matchups with Chafin on the mound. Chafin shut the door by throwing nine of his 13 pitches for strikes to earn his second save of the season. Gregory Soto appeared in the eighth inning and recorded a hold.

OCTOBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eric Haase - Homers in three-hit night Haase went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 3-2 victory over the Twins on Saturday.

Impact Haase went deep off Dylan Bundy for his 13th home run of the season. The 29-year-old catcher had hit 22 home runs last season, so this year's numbers represent a dropoff in power production. However, Haase did raise his average and OBP this season and has a slash line of .257/.310/.441 in 311 at-bats.

Drew Hutchison - Strikes out five in no-decision Hutchison gave up two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings in a 3-2 victory over the Twins on Saturday. He did not factor into the decis...

Impact Hutchison threw 103 pitches in his 18th and final start of the year but could not make it out of the fifth inning. The 32-year-old right-hander had a rough end to his season, posting a poor 6.20 ERA in five September starts leading up to this matchup with the Tigers. Hutchison logged 105.1 innings in 2022, the most in any season since he was a starter in Toronto in 2015. He finishes the year with a 4.53 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and Baseball-Reference WAR of exactly 0.0.
