The Detroit Tigers placed reliever Will Vest on the paternity list on Thursday. Vest is currently with his wife. The couple has welcomed a son named Bennett. The 27-year-old has been one of the Tigers' top relievers this season. Across 30 appearances, he's pitched to a 3.41 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. He's maintained a 26.6% strikeout rate to go along with a 3.4 K/BB ratio. With the Tigers sitting at 38-56, there's a good chance that a few relievers are sold by the team prior to the trade deadline. Vest would need both Gregory Soto and Michael Fulmer to be traded in order for him to have a chance at a ninth inning role.

The Detroit Tigers activated relief pitcher Will Vest from the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday. The move was made after the first game of the team's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, so Vest will be available for Game 2 of the set. Fellow relief pitcher Drew Carlton was optioned to Triple-A to clear a roster spot for Vest. Vest has been fantastic out of the pen for the Tigers this year. Over 17 innings, he's pitched to a 2.12 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP to go along with a 5.5 K/BB ratio. He's someone worth watching as a potential saves source for the team should Gregory Soto's struggles continue.
