Renato Núñez News
Detroit Tigers first baseman Renato Nunez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the team's 7-4 loss to the Cleveland Indians on Friday. The Tigers selected his contract on Wednesday and he has made two starts since rejoining the team, homering in both games. Nunez got his first opportunity with the Tigers back in April. He has now played a total of nine games with the team this year and he has four home runs and a .600 slugging percentage over those nine games. However, he's hit just .200, going 7-for-35 with 10 strikeouts.
The Detroit Tigers selected the contract of first baseman Renato Nunez on Wednesday. The move came after the team placed outfielders Akil Baddoo (concussion) and Derek Hill (ribs) on the injured list. Nunez played in seven games for the Tigers in April and he hit two home runs and two doubles while slashing .148/.207/.444. He hit 43 home runs over 203 games with the Baltimore Orioles from 2019 to 2020, so he has some clear power upside. He also slashed .291/.383/.585 with 20 home runs, 64 RBI and 60 runs at Triple-A this year. However, his playing time likely won't be sufficient enough to warrant fantasy appeal and his stay with the team could be brief.
The Detroit Tigers have DFA'd first baseman Renato Nunez. In a corresponding move, the team recalled infielder Zack Short from the alternate training site.Nunez played just seven games for the team and hit two home runs and two doubles, but had a .148/.207/.651 slash line. Harold Castro and Jonathan Schoop should split first base duties for the Tigers until Miguel Cabrera (biceps) returns from the injured list.
