Tigers promote infielder John Peck for major league debut against Twins
Summary

The Detroit Tigers have selected the contract of infield prospect John Peck ahead of their upcoming series against the Minnesota Twins. Peck, a 24-year-old shortstop and third baseman, was a seventh-round pick in the 2023 draft. He spent the majority of this season with the Double-A Erie SeaWolves, where he maintained a.285 batting average with 10 home runs. While he is noted for his defensive glovework, scouting reports suggest he maintains a free-swinging approach at the plate. The organization may also consider promoting top prospect Max Anderson, a second baseman currently playing at Triple-A Toledo, as major league rosters expand to 28 players on September 1. This move arrives as the Tigers prepare to begin their series against Minnesota.
