The Tigers had until 6 p.m. ET on Tuesday to add Rule 5-eligible prospects to their 40-man roster to prevent them from being taken in the draft, and five ranked prospects to consider saving: No. 5 Thayron Liranzo, No. 6 Hao-Yu Lee, No. 19 Jake Miller, No. 21 Izaac Pacheco, and No. 30 RJ Petit.
Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reported about half an hour before the deadline that the Tigers are adding three prospects, but only one of them from the above list. Miller, utilityman Trei Cruz, and catcher/first baseman Eduardo Valencia will all be safe from the Rule 5 Draft.
