The Detroit Tigers claimed outfielder James Outman off waivers from the Minnesota Twins on June 11, 2026. To make room on the 40-man roster, they transferred infielder Javier Báez to the 60-day injured list due to a high ankle sprain. Báez has been sidelined since April 28, and his recovery has not progressed as expected. Outman, now out of options, is expected to fill a role in the Tigers' outfield despite concerns about his performance against major league pitching. The Tigers may look to make additional roster adjustments following this transaction.
