I wrote on the site yesterday on the Tigers’ potential call-ups, starting with Bryan Holaday and Kyle Ryan. Those two moves became official Tuesday, with the pair recalled from Triple-A Toledo.
Both moves had been expected. Like a lot of teams, the Tigers have used September call-ups in recent years to add a third catcher, giving them flexibility in case of injury or pinch-hit opportunities. There was some question whether they’d have that chance when Holaday injured his left thumb on a collision at home plate a few weeks ago, but he returned to action late last week.
