Former LSU catcher Michael Papierski received the call up to the big leagues and made his MLB debut last night in San Francisco.
Papierski was originally drafted by the Houston Astros in the ninth round of the 2017 draft but was traded May 14 to the Giants. He started at catcher and went 0-2 at the plate. Papierski received the call from San Francisco after the Giants placed their usual starting catcher, Curt Casali, on the seven-day concussion IL.
Papierski is the 81st Major Leaguer in program history, and the second Tiger to make his MLB debut in 2022.
