The Detroit Tigers continue to shop the bargain bin. Chris McCosky broke the news on Thursday morning that the club has acquired veteran right-handed reliever Paul Sewald from the Cleveland Guardians. Sewald is currently on the injured list with a shoulder strain and not expected to be healthy until September so this is really just a depth building move and will only cost a player to be named later or cash considerations.
The initial shoulder strain put him on the injured list in late April, and after returning briefly for four appearances in July, Sewald had the injury flare up again.
