Tigers to Debut Prospect Troy Melton vs Pirates

News summary

The Detroit Tigers are promoting right-handed pitching prospect Troy Melton, their No. 10 prospect, for his Major League debut in the finale of a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Melton, a 2022 fourth-round pick from San Diego State, has posted a 2.99 ERA and 101 strikeouts over 75 1/3 innings between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo this season, highlighted by a recent stretch of 17 1/3 consecutive scoreless innings. The team, currently on an eight-losses-in-nine-games skid, hopes Melton can provide a boost, though he is currently expected to make a spot start to rest the rotation. Melton features a mid-90s fastball, an effective cutter, and several off-speed pitches. The Tigers remain competitive in the AL Central and are looking to their pitching prospects for support. A roster move will be made to accommodate Melton's promotion.
