Detroit Tigers claim catcher Mario Feliciano off waivers from Milwaukee Brewers

A new catcher has joined the Detroit Tigers' roster.

The Tigers claimed catcher Mario Feliciano, a former top prospect, off waivers Wednesday from the Milwaukee Brewers. In a corresponding move, outfielder Bligh Madris was designated for assignment.

The Tigers' 40-man roster is full and includes three catchers: Feliciano, Eric Haase and Jake Rogers.

Feliciano, who turned 24 in late November, has played three games in his MLB career. He spent most of last season with Triple-A Nashville and hit .274 with six home runs, 18 walks and 52 strikeouts over 77 games.
