Two moves are expected Tuesday, with catcher Bryan Holaday and left-hander Kyle Ryan to be recalled from Triple-A Toledo in time for Tuesday's series opener against the Royals. Both were spotted on a Monday afternoon flight to Kansas City, according to Chris McCosky of the Detroit News.
Neither is a surprise. Most teams use expanded rosters for a third catcher, giving them late-game insurance. Holaday, who backed up Alex Avila last year and did the same for James McCann for six weeks early this year, suffered a left thumb injury on a collision at home plate but returned late last week.
