Tyler Nevin Stats

Detroit Tigers infielder Tyler Nevin has been promoted from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday night's contest against the visiting Texas Rangers. The 26-year-old struggled in his go around with the big club this season as he hit just .091 with one homer and a .449 OPS in a rather small 27-plate-appearance sample. He's fared much better in Toledo, however, hitting .331 with two homers and an .864 across a much larger sample size of 142 trips to the plate. While he doesn't hit for a ton of power, Nevin has proven to be a well-above-average minor-league bat but hasn't seen that translate to the big leagues in 74 appearances at the game's highest level. Right-handed pitcher Braden Bristo was also brought up Tuesday while ace Eduardo Rodriguez hits the injured list with a finger injury.

Detroit Tigers corner infielder Tyler Nevin (oblique) has been sidelined indefinitely at spring training with a left oblique strain. The 25-year-old will start baseball activities once his symptoms subside. The Tigers haven't revealed the grade of his strain or a timetable for his return, only announcing it as a "mild" strain. He has hit .211 (4-for-19) with two home runs, no walks and four strikeouts in seven Grapefruit League games to this point, seeing most of playing time at first and third base. Nevin's injury almost certainly puts him out of the mix for an Opening Day roster spot. When healthy, Nevin figures to be a platoon player for Detroit at both first and third base. He'll be an option mainly in AL-only leagues for his positional versatility.

The Detroit Tigers acquired infielder Tyler Nevin on Saturday in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles, per a tweet from the Tigers' public relations Twitter account. Per the tweet, Detroit acquired Nevin for cash considerations. The Tigers also designated pitcher Zach Logue for assignment to make room for the infielder on the team's 40-man roster. Nevin appeared in 58 games for the Orioles this past season, hitting .197 with a .299 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 184 plate appearances. He saw most of his playing time at third base and first base in 2022 and will give the Tigers some additional depth around the infield heading into next season. Detroit has Spencer Torkelson at first base but doesn't have a set or obvious starter at third base at the moment.
