Detroit Tigers players have been hit with the injury bug as of late. Nick Castellanos, Mike Pelfrey, Jordan Zimmermann, Jose Iglesias and Cameron Maybin are all sidelined at the moment.
The Tigers already made a move to improve the team’s infield depth in the form of Erick Aybar. With the infield needs accounted for, Avila and company added another outfielder to the Major League roster with Maybin out.
Detroit brought up outfielder Alex Presley from Toledo.
The team’s official Twitter account announced the move.
