LAS VEGAS — The roster purge is underway.
Detroit Tigers outfielder Daz Cameron, acquired from the Houston Astros in the 2017 Justin Verlander trade, was claimed off waivers Wednesday by the Baltimore Orioles, the Tigers announced.
The 25-year-old played 73 games over three seasons with the Tigers.
Along with Cameron's departure from the 40-man roster, infielder Josh Lester cleared waivers and has been sent to Triple-A Toledo. The 40-man roster is currently at 35 players, but the Tigers have nine players on the 60-day injured list that must be reinstated Thursday to the 40-man roster.
