The Tigers are expected to make a roster move Tuesday, albeit a temporary one. Outfielder Rajai Davis is expected to be placed on the paternity leave list to be with his wife for the birth of their second child.
To take his place, the Tigers are reportedly calling up Daniel Fields for what will be his first big-league stint. Fields strongly hinted at getting the call after Monday night’s game for Triple-A Toledo against Indianapolis, and Chris Iott of MLive.com later confirmed that Fields was heading to Detroit.
It’s a first Major League stint for Fields, but he spent a good part of his childhood around Comerica Park.
