The Tigers summoned shortstop Sergio Alcantara to Minnesota to serve as the 29th man on the roster during Friday’s doubleheader. Here’s what fans can expect from him.
Seven prospects have made their MLB debut for the Detroit Tigers this year, and Friday may see the arrival of two more. Outfielder Derek Hill was added to the roster on Wednesday after JaCoby Jones suffered a broken hand, and an ailing Niko Goodrum brings shortstop Sergio Alcantara to the active roster for the first time.
