SEATTLE — Nick Maton needed 11 games in Triple-A Toledo.
The Detroit Tigers recalled Maton, a left-handed hitting infielder, from the Mud Hens coming out of the All-Star break. In Maton, the Tigers have filled the opening on their 26-man roster ahead of Friday's game against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park to start a three-game series.
Back on June 26, the Tigers optioned Maton to Triple-A Toledo because of his poor performance on offense and defense. He was acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies in an offseason trade.

The first 72 games with the Tigers were a disaster for Maton.
