It's the latest move of Tigers president Scott Harris. The deal is of the minor-league variety, and Marisnick isn't listed on the 40-man roster.

He arrives in Detroit well-traveled, having already played for the Chicago Cubs, Miami Marlins, Houston Astros, New York Mets, San Diego Padres, and Pittsburgh Pirates. He's played in 10 games for Chicago this year but went hitless in only two plate appearances.
