Tigers claim right-handed reliever Edwin Uceta off waivers from Diamondbacks

Detroit – Never question Scott Harris’ ability to multi-task.

As the Tigers’ president of baseball was walking reporters around the outfield at Comerica Park Wednesday afternoon, giving a preview of the new dimensions, the club announced a roster move.

Right-handed reliever Edwin Uceta, 25, was claimed off waivers from the Arizona Diamondbacks.

A native of the Dominican Republic, Uceta got big-league time with the Dodgers in 2021 (14 games) and with Arizona (10 games) last season. The results were harsh (30 earned runs allowed in 37 innings).
