Tigers grab RHP Cameron Flukey with 22nd selection

Cameron Flukey

DET Starting Pitcher

Player Stats

Tigers selected Coastal Carolina RHP Cameron Flukey with the No. 22 selection of the 2026 MLB Draft.

Flukey was viewed as the top pitching prospect coming into the 2026 college season, but he dealt with injuries that limited him to just 24 innings, and mixed results when on the bump for the Chanticleers caused his stock drop a decent amount. Not enough to keep him out of the first-round, however, and when Flukey is at his best, the 21-year-old shows three plus pitches with a fastball that gets into the high 90s with solid spin among them. Flukey offers a bit of risk, but he offers more upside than your typical college pitcher going in thsi range.

Tigers signed first-round pick RHP Cameron Flukey.

It’s a bit of a surprise that Flukey fell to the 22nd pick and the Tigers were able to sign him for $3.8 million. The 21-year-old righty was limited to just 24 starts in his final collegiate campaign at Coastal Carolina, but his stuff remained strong enough to ensure that he would still be a first-rounder. There’s an argument to be made that he’s the second-best pitching prospect in this draft class.

Brewers optioned RHP Garrett Stallings to Triple-A Nashville.

He threw three innings yesterday and was exchanged for a fresh arm in LHP Colton Gordon. Stallings has thrown 14 shutout innings in the bigs so far this year, with 17 strikeouts and just four hits allowed.

Willson Conteras (hand) is not in Friday’s starting lineup for the Red Sox against the Rays.

He was hit by a pitch on a swing and left the game on Thursday. X-rays came back negative, but he will likely remain day-to-day for most of the weekend. Nick Sogard is handling first base tonight while Isiah Kiner-Falefa squeezes into the lineup at second base.

Reds recalled RHP Julian Aguiar from Triple-A Louisville.

One Julian replaces another as Julian Garcia heads to the injured list. Aguiar holds a cringe-inducing 6.27 ERA in 12 starts for Triple-A Louisville this season, having walked 31 in 58 innings after missing 2025 to Tommy John surgery. However, he was already on the 40-man roster, so here he is, likely to handle low-leverage work in the bigs.

Reds placed RHP Julian Garcia on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to September 17, with right elbow loose bodies.

Elbow issues for a pitcher is never what you want to hear. This ends Garcia’s season. He had a 3.33 ERA in 46 innings with the Reds, notching two saves and striking out 41. The 31-year-old is set to be a free agent after the season. Assuming this isn’t a long-term issue, he’ll likely get a shot to compete for a bullpen spot somewhere next year.

Reds transferred 1B Spencer Steer from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Steer was unlikely to play again this season either way, and this should just about end his ability to return since he was originally placed on the injured list on July 27. It’s a procedural move to free up a 40-man roster spot for new Reds infielder Oswaldo Cabrera.

Chase DeLauter (wrist) is batting third for the Guardians in Friday’s game against the Athletics.

He had sat out Tuesday and Wednesday’s games. DeLauter has been quite dinged up down the stretch; he’s played in just 10 September games so far. But he has hit .243/.333/.432 when able to play, with a homer and two stolen bases. He’s safe to activate in daily transaction leagues against A’s starter Mason Barnett.

Reds claimed INF Oswaldo Cabrera off waivers from the Yankees.

Cabrera, 27, is probably a better stab at a utility infielder than Ivan Johnson has been for the Reds this year. We’ll see if they activate him down the stretch. Nobody needs to rush the waiver wire for Cabrera in the last days of the regular season.
