Mike Gerber News
The San Francisco Giants designated outfielder Gerardo Parra for assignment on Friday and called up outfielder Mike Gerber from the minors in a corresponding move. Parra, 31, hit just .198 with a homer and six RBI in 30 games with the Giants this season. Gerber, 26, was claimed off waivers from the Tigers last December and was hitting an impressive .357 with six long balls and 15 RBI for Triple-A Sacramento. Catcher Erik Kratz was also placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring. Gerber could see occasional starts in left field for the struggling Giants and might be worth a flier in NL-only leagues.
The Detroit Tigers called outfielder Mike Gerber up from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. He will take the place of Leonys Martin, who was traded to the Indians on Tuesday. Gerber, the team's No. 26 prospect, was batting only .214 but had 13 home runs and 33 RBI in 69 games on the farm. He could see decent playing time for the rebuilding Tigers now that Martin is out of the picture, so keep an eye on him in AL-only leagues.
The Detroit Tigers have recalled outfielder Mike Gerber from Triple-A Toledo, the club announced Monday. Gerber had joined the club briefly last week as the 26th man for the team's doubleheader against Kansas City, but he was sent back to Toledo after the game. He'll now make the trip north again to rejoin the Tigers following the club's decision to designate reliever Drew VerHagen for assignment. The 25-year-old Gerber owns a .288/.354/.474 line in the minors since 2014 with 54 homers and 44 steals. He will figure into a crowded outfield mix where he'll split playing time with JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes, as Leonys Martin and Nicholas Castellanos have essentially secured everyday status in center and right field, respectively. Still, Gerber is an interesting player to watch in dynasty formats.
