Detroit — Jake Marisnick has played for eight different teams. He's been traded four times and released four times. At age 32 and in his 11th season, he found himself toiling in Triple-A for the White Sox earlier this season before the Tigers' purchased his contract on May 30.
He's been through some stuff. Which is why he's not stressing about his seemingly precarious roster spot.
"When it's something that's out of your control, you just go out and play and help the team win on that day," he said after bashing a double and a home run in the Tigers' 9-0 win in the series finale against the Oakland Athletics Thursday afternoon.
