Tigers Promote Justyn-Henry Malloy, Demote Spencer Torkelson

Detroit seeks fresh talent to boost performance as they trail in the AL Central standings.

Justyn-Henry Malloy, the Tigers' No. 6 prospect, will make his MLB debut against the Rangers.
Spencer Torkelson, the 2020 No. 1 overall Draft pick, is sent to Triple-A Toledo after struggling this season.
Malloy, known for his strong batting eye, has a .253 average with six home runs and 39 walks in Triple-A this year.
The Tigers hope Malloy can provide a spark as they are currently ten games behind the Guardians.
Malloy was acquired from the Braves in a 2022 trade involving reliever Joe Jiménez.
