Tigers Designate Zack Short For Assignment
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Tigers have reinstated infielder Zach McKinstry from the 10-day injured list, prompting the designation for assignment of fellow infielder Zack Short.
- Zack Short was recently acquired to cover infield injuries but struggled offensively, going hitless in three plate appearances and holding a career batting line of .171/.269/.295.
- McKinstry's return reduces the need for Short, who now faces a waiver process that could lead to free agency or remaining with the Tigers, given the team's ongoing infield injury concerns.
- McKinstry is expected to resume his versatile role, covering multiple infield positions and outfield, while the Tigers manage other injured players including Javier Báez and Trey Sweeney.
- The Tigers also added Paul DeJong on a minor league deal, bolstering their infield depth amid ongoing roster adjustments.
