The Detroit Tigers are set to promote Max Clark, the third overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft, as they begin a nine-game road trip against the Athletics on Friday. The 21-year-old outfielder has put up impressive numbers at Triple-A Toledo, recording 11 home runs and 42 RBI in 90 games this summer. His addition comes as the Tigers, currently sitting at 51-58 in fourth place in the AL Central, seek to boost their lineup with Matt Vierling heading to the injured list due to a groin injury. Expectations are high for Clark, who aims to complement fellow rookie Kevin McGonigle, drafted 34 picks later in 2023.
