2:05 pm: The Astros have now announced both claims. In corresponding moves, they transferred right-handers Luis Garcia Jr. and Penn Murfee to the 60-day injured list.
The Tigers announced a pair of forthcoming promotions with active rosters expanding tomorrow. Detroit will select right-hander Miguel Díaz onto the 40-man roster and recall infielder Andre Lipcius from Triple-A Toledo.
Scores, news, and notes, from the Detroit Tigers’ farm system for Thursday, May 18, 2023. Another game, another blowout as these two clubs don’t seem capable of playing a close one.
9:24am: The Tigers formally announced the moves. Manning goes directly to the 60-day injured list in order to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Diaz, although that’s a technicality, as he can be activated as soon as the season is over.
Paddack was a standout for the Padres in his debut campaign, 2019, but he hasn’t been able to match his rookie production over the past season-plus. Diaz, 26, appeared with the Padres in each season from 2017-19, but he could muster only a 6.61 ERA during that 66 2/3-inning stretch.
