The current pitching depth situation for the Detroit Tigers among their starters is thin as they head down soon to Lakeland. While there are plans to place Daniel Norris and Tyler Alexander back into the rotation, it still leaves room to fill the void.

So when Jordan Yamamoto was designated for assignment by the Marlins today to make room for Anthony Bass, as it seems to be the case lately whenever a player becomes available at a position of need for Detroit, we look to see if they could be a good fit.
