Tigers place Emmanuel De Jesus on paternity leave, recall Tanner Rainey

The Detroit Tigers have placed left-hander Emmanuel De Jesus on paternity leave after the birth of his daughter. In response, the team has selected the contract of right-handed reliever Tanner Rainey to fill his roster spot. De Jesus is eligible to return after three games, while Rainey, an eight-year MLB veteran, joins a bullpen that now features two left-handed relievers. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch confirmed that De Jesus's family is doing well, and Rainey's addition helps maintain roster depth. Jack Flaherty, meanwhile, is increasing his throwing intensity as he recovers from an injury, while Wenceel Pérez faces delays in his rehabilitation due to vision issues, and Will Vest underwent hip surgery.
