Right-handed reliever Carlos Hernández doesn't have any minor league options remaining, so he will join the Detroit Tigers' active roster immediately.

DETROIT - Another Detroit Tigers ballgame will turn into a concert at the ballpark as a CMA Song of the Year award-winner will perform. Following rapper Ludacris’ performance after the Tigers game on June 13, the team announced another Friday Night Party in the Park.

The Whitecaps are led in part by the Tigers’ top two prospects, outfielder Max Clark and infielder Kevin McGonigle. The two 20-year-old left-handed bats hit at the top of West Michigan’s lineup and powered an offensive outburst that saw the Whitecaps outscore Lansing 52-16 over last week’s series.

On Monday, the Tigers claimed 28-year-old right-hander Carlos Hernandez off waivers from the Phillies and are on the hook for the remainder of his $1.16 million contract.

One of the biggest things that the Tigers need to see from Reese Olson before he returns is getting his endurance up. Tigers manager AJ Hinch thinks that Saturday's outing for the Mud Hens has Olson trending in that direction.

The Detroit Tigers have been able to power their way firmly to the top of the standings with a balance of strong pitching, hitting, and elite baserunning.

The Detroit Tigers designated relief pitcher John Brebbia for assignment on June 15, calling up pitcher Tyler Owens from Triple-A Toledo.

The Detroit Tigers have been much more pedestrian in June, but their Central Division rivals have done nothing to take advantage.

The Detroit Tigers could use a little of both in their starting rotation.
