The Detroit Tigers are bringing right-handed pitcher Matt Manning to the big leagues, in an effort to aid their injured starting rotation. Losing Spencer Turnbull and Matthew Boyd to injuries left the Tigers with three starters: Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Jose Urena.
To find a fix, the Tigers announced Tuesday that Manning — already on the 40-man roster — has joined the taxi squad in Kansas City. He will be activated and start Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels. Manning, 23, is the organization's No. 3 prospect in the farm system, according to MLB Pipeline.
