When the Detroit Tigers chose to bring up infielder Josh Wilson as one of their September call-ups, they needed to make room on the 40-man roster. To do this, they cut ties with longtime prospect with local ties, Daniel Fields.
The Tigers called up backup catcher Bryan Holaday and shortstop Dixon Machado when the rosters expanded on September 1, but kept their other players in the minors to finish up their seasons on the farm.
Monday, the Tigers announced that Holaday and Machado would be joined by Wilson, #1 prospect in the system OF Steven Moya, IF Jefry Marte and LHP Ian Krol on the big league team for the rest of the season.
