The Detroit Tigers have reached an agreement on a one-year contract with infielder Mike Aviles, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney.
Aviles, 34, has spent the past three seasons with the Cleveland Indians. He batted .231 with five home runs and 17 RBIs in 98 games last season.
Aviles made multiple trips to the family medical emergency list in 2015 after his daughter Adriana was diagnosed with leukemia in May.
The eight-year veteran has also played for the Kansas City Royals and Boston Red Sox.
