Tigers Designate Devin Sweet For Assignment
10 months agoThe Detroit Tigers have designated pitcher Devin Sweet for assignment. The move was made to create a 40-man roster spot for infield prospect Colt Keith who signed a six-year contract extension with the club before making his MLB debut, likely to come on Opening Day this season. It wasn't a long stay on Detroit's 40-man roster for Sweet who the club claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants on Jan. 18. The right-hander struggled to an ugly 10.38 ERA across seven appearances in his big-league debut for the Mariners and A's in 2023 before being claimed off waivers by San Francisco. However, he did post a 2.25 ERA across 36 games in the minors between the three organizations in 2023 and should generate more interest on waivers if the Tigers do not retain him.
