Before we get to Thursday’s games, there were a couple of assignments for the 2022 draft class announced on Thursday. Infielder Jace Jung, the Tigers’ selection with the 12th overall pick, has been assigned to High-A West Michigan. The slugging second baseman should slot right into the lineup there.
Second round shortstop Peyton Graham has been assigned to Low-A Lakeland, along with sixth round infielder Danny Serretti. Presumably there are many more assignments soon to come, but Jung and Graham are the big ones, so it’ll be nice to see them in action in the coming days. Graham has the tools to play anywhere, but one assumes the Tigers want him to play shortstop full-time.
