The Baltimore Orioles acquired infielder Tyler Nevin on Monday from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for cash considerations. Nevin made his major-league debut with the Orioles in 2021 and also played for them in 2022, hitting a combined .205 (35-for-171) with three home runs and 19 RBI in 64 games played. The 26-year-old corner infielder went 19-for-95 (.200) with two home runs, 10 RBI and 11 runs scored in 41 games for the Detroit Tigers in 2023. Nevin was more productive at Triple-A Toledo with a .326/.400/.543 slash line, 15 home runs and 58 RBI in 87 games. He'll return to the Orioles organization before the 2024 campaign, but Nevin probably had a much better shot at making an impact at the major-league level in Detroit.

The Detroit Tigers have claimed right-hander Devin Sweet off waivers from the San Francisco Giants and subsequently designated infielder Tyler Nevin for assignment. Sweet, 27, made his big-league debut with the Mariners and A's in the 2023 season, allowing 10 earned runs on 10 hits and six walks against six strikeouts across just 8 2/3 frames between the two clubs. He spent the bulk of the season at Double-A within the Mariners organization, tossing a stealth 1.54 ERA alongside a massive 28.7% K-BB% in 27 relief outings. Nevin, 26, appeared in 41 games with the Tigers last season but hit just .200 with two home runs and a .622 OPS across 111 plate appearances. He's a lifetime .203 hitter with five homers and a .611 OPS across 313 big-league plate appearances between the Tigers and Baltimore Orioles.

Detroit Tigers infielder Tyler Nevin has been promoted from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday night's contest against the visiting Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old struggled in his go around with the big club this season as he hit just .091 with one homer and a .449 OPS in a rather small 27-plate-appearance sample. He's fared much better in Toledo, however, hitting .331 with two homers and an .864 across a much larger sample size of 142 trips to the plate. While he doesn't hit for a ton of power, Nevin has proven to be a well-above-average minor-league bat but hasn't seen that translate to the big leagues in 74 appearances at the game's highest level. Right-handed pitcher Braden Bristo was also brought up Tuesday while ace Eduardo Rodriguez hits the injured list with a finger injury.

Detroit Tigers corner infielder Tyler Nevin (oblique) has been sidelined indefinitely at spring training with a left oblique strain. The 25-year-old will start baseball activities once his symptoms subside. The Tigers haven't revealed the grade of his strain or a timetable for his return, only announcing it as a "mild" strain. He has hit .211 (4-for-19) with two home runs, no walks and four strikeouts in seven Grapefruit League games to this point, seeing most of playing time at first and third base. Nevin's injury almost certainly puts him out of the mix for an Opening Day roster spot. When healthy, Nevin figures to be a platoon player for Detroit at both first and third base. He'll be an option mainly in AL-only leagues for his positional versatility.

The Detroit Tigers acquired infielder Tyler Nevin on Saturday in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, per a tweet from the Tigers' public relations Twitter account. Per the tweet, Detroit acquired Nevin for cash considerations. The Tigers also designated pitcher Zach Logue for assignment to make room for the infielder on the team's 40-man roster. Nevin appeared in 58 games for the Orioles this past season, hitting .197 with a .299 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 184 plate appearances. He saw most of his playing time at third base and first base in 2022 and will give the Tigers some additional depth around the infield heading into next season. Detroit has Spencer Torkelson at first base but doesn't have a set or obvious starter at third base at the moment.

Jay Bruce returned to the major leagues Saturday, making the New York Yankees' roster at the deadline for decisions on free agents who had gone to spring training with minor league contracts. Atlanta added third baseman Pablo Sandoval, infielder Ehire Adrianza and reliever Nate Jones to its major league roster. The Chicago Cubs told infielder Eric Sogard he will be added. Detroit, having already told pitcher Julio Teheran he will be on the roster, informed pitcher Derek Holland he will be added and decided to pay a $100,000 retention bonus to keep pitcher Erasmo Ramirez. Under baseball's collective bargaining agreement, players who became free agents after the World Series and then went to spring training with minor league contracts had to be told by noon EDT Saturday that they would be added to the 40-man roster, paid the retention bonus or released. Released players can re-sign with the same team. Miami paid the retention bonus to catcher Sandy Leon, the only other player given the bonus.... [More]
