The Detroit Tigers have claimed outfielder James Outman off waivers from the Minnesota Twins following their 11-0 victory that secured a two-of-three series win at Comerica Park. Outman, designated for assignment by the Twins, had a disappointing season with a.156 batting average and no home runs in 49 games played. He is expected to report to Triple-A Toledo to continue his career. To accommodate Outman on the roster, the Tigers transferred Javy Báez to the 60-day injured list due to a right ankle injury. Outman had a fruitful 2023 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, hitting 23 home runs before being traded to the Twins last July.
