Tigers designate Trey Cruz for assignment

Trei Cruz

DET Center Fielder #40

Player Stats

Tigers designated OF Trei Cruz for assignment.

The 28-year-old outfielder went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in two games with the Tigers this season. It seems likely that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra outfield depth at Triple-A Toledo.

Tigers recalled OF Trei Cruz from Triple-A Toledo.

Cruz had five hitless plate appearances for the Tigers in mid-June and will try to do better than that this time around as a replacement for James Outman.

Tigers optioned OF Trei Cruz to Triple-A Toledo.

Cruz went hitless in two games with the Tigers after receiving his promotion Friday. The 27-year-old will likely get another shot at some point this summer, but for now, Ben Malgeri will take his spot on the roster.

Tigers recalled OF Trei Cruz from Triple-A Toledo.

Cruz was hitting .228/.326/.333 over 144 plate appearances with Toledo. The third-generation MLBer will bat ninth tonight in his MLB debut. He has no real fantasy upside at this time.

DET Center Fielder #40

Ari Alexander of 7News Boston reports that the Tigers plan to promote Trei Cruz from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

The versatile 27-year-old is the son of Jose Cruz Jr. and the grandson of Jose Cruz. Selected by the Tigers in the third round of the 2020 draft, this will be the first trip to the big leagues for Cruz. He was slashing just .228/.326/.333 with two homers, 16 RBI, one stolen base and a 39/18 K/BB ratio over 144 plate appearances at Triple-A Toledo. He’ll provide the Tigers with versatility off the bench.

Tigers optioned INF/OF Trei Cruz to Triple-A

Cruz was a long shot to win a roster spot, so this isn’t a huge surprise. He hit .279/.411/.456 in 127 minor league games in 2025 with 13 home runs and 17 steals. He can play multiple positions on the diamond and could be an option for the Tigers at some point in the season.

Astros optioned RHP Ronel Blanco to Triple-A Sugar Land.

Blanco has really struggled during his time with the Astros this season, posting a 7.71 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 20/12 K/BB ratio over 23 1/3 innings in his five appearances (four starts). Miguel Ullola was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land to take his place on the active roster.

Cubs’ manager Craig Counsell told reporters on Sunday that David Peterson will be moved to the bullpen with Edward Cabrera rejoining the rotation on Sunday.

Peterson hasn’t pitched poorly since joining the Cubs, but he’ll get squeezed back into a long relief role for the time being now that Cabrera is ready to return. That should strip away any lingering mixed league fantasy value that he may have had.

Athletics transferred RHP Justin Sterner to the 60-day injured list.

This move doesn’t come as a surprise as Sterner underwent season-ending knee surgery last week. It was done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the addition of Joe Rock on Sunday.

Brice Turang (knee) was held out of the Brewers’ starting lineup for a fourth consecutive game on Sunday.

The dynamic 26-year-old second baseman winds up missing the entire weekend series against the Dodgers due to pain in his right knee. He’s expected to be available off the bench on Sunday, and the Brewers are still hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.

Cubs optioned RHP Javier Assad to Triple-A Iowa.

With Edward Cabrera returning from the injured list to join the Cubs’ rotation on Sunday, Assad once again gets squeezed off of the active roster. The 29-year-old hurler has compiled a solid 3.59 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 53/21 K/BB ratio over 80 1/3 innings in 21 appearances (10 starts) with the Cubs this season. He’ll almost assuredly get another opportunity with the Cubs before season’s end.

Corey Seager is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s divisional matchup against the Athletics.

The Rangers are being sure to mix in plenty of days off for the 32-year-old slugger and it makes sense to do so with left-hander Jacob Lopez toeing the slab for the A’s on Sunday afternoon. Expect Seager to make an appearance off the bench in this one if the right situation arises. Ezequiel Duran will start at shortstop in his place and bat second for the Rangers.

Michael Busch is absent from the Cubs’ starting lineup for Sunday’s soiree against the Cardinals.

Busch had been mired in a bit of a power outage lately, slashing just .253/.290/.316 with one homer, nine RBI and an 18/4 K/BB ratio over 100 plate appearances in his last 22 ballgames. He’ll get a day off to reset in this one with Pedro Ramirez filling in at first base and batting sixth against Cardinals’ right-hander Hunter Dobbins.
