The Detroit Tigers officially added Troy Melton to the five-man rotation when they optioned fellow right-hander Keider Montero to Triple-A Toledo.
On a day right-handed starter Reese Olson (shoulder) was lost for the rest of the season and veteran Chris Paddack was acquired in a trade from the Twins, Melton, calmly and coolly blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks for seven innings Monday night and the Tigers took the opener of the three-game series 5-1 at Comerica Park.
The Detroit Tigers will have top prospect Troy Melton as part of the rotation moving forward after a recent roster move.
