Detroit Tigers call-up spells bad news for Baddoo
On Friday, the Tigers announced they had claimed OF Nick Solak off waivers, and according to Evan Woodberry, Solak already has a locker in the Tigers locker room, which means he has already been called up from Toledo. With Solak coming to Detroit, it is very likely that the Tigers will announce that Baddo is heading to the injured list.
Bottom Line: Tigers will likely be without Baddoo
The Tigers find themselves in a challenging position as their losing streak continues to mount. The departure of Baddoo due to a right quadriceps injury only exacerbates their struggles, raising concerns about the team's performance and the duration of Baddoo's absence. The arrival of Nick Solak further indicates potential changes in the Tigers' roster, signaling a need for adjustments and adaptation.
