The Tigers had one notable announcement on Monday that didn’t involve the weather. Right-hander Ty Madden, our preseason seventh ranked Tigers prospect, has been promoted to Triple-A Toledo. Right-hander Austin Bergner will swap places with Madden and move back down to Double-A Erie.
Madden should now be in line to take Matt Manning’s turn in the Mud Hens rotation on Tuesday night in Columbus against the Clippers. Manning, as was noted in the series preview thread, appears set to pitch in Game 2 of Tuesday’s Tigers-Cardinals doubleheader to make up for Monday night’s rain out.
Madden was the Tigers competitive balance round A selection and the 32nd overall pick in the 2021 draft out of Texas.
