Overview
- Right-handers Kyle Finnegan and Rafael Montero were promoted to Detroit’s bullpen on August 1 following trade deadline deals
- The Tigers cleared 40-man roster spots by optioning rookie reliever Chase Lee to Triple-A and designating Dietrich Enns for assignment
- On August 2, veteran starter Charlie Morton joined the active roster and Brenan Hanifee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo
- Morton is scheduled to start Sunday’s series finale in Philadelphia alongside Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, Casey Mize and Chris Paddack
- Manager A.J. Hinch said Hanifee’s move was a tough-luck decision driven by roster configuration rather than performance
