Tigers re-signed RHP Jesus Rodriguez to a minor league contract.
Rodriguez returns to the Tigers’ system after posting an underwhelming 5.13 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 87/33 K/BB ratio across 101 2/3 innings (24 appearances, 20 starts) between High-A Western Michigan and Double-A Erie last year. The 24-year-old righty will serve as organizational starting pitching depth this season.
