Detroit — With the worst defensive rating in baseball, the Tigers weren’t going to stand pat over the All-Star break.
On Friday morning, the club announced second baseman Willi Castro, worth a minus-10 defensive runs saved at second base, was sent to Triple-A Toledo. In his place, the Tigers recalled infielder Isaac Paredes.
It is unclear if manager AJ Hinch plans to insert Paredes at second base on a more regular basis or reshuffle more of the infield. Presumably, Zack Short and Niko Goodrum will get most of the work at shortstop. But he could move Jonathan Schoop to second, Jeimer Candelario to first and play Paredes at third.
