Detroit Tigers Adjust Pitching Roster with Lefty Moves, Montero Recall

The Detroit Tigers are actively managing their pitching roster as the 2025 trade deadline approaches, with potential moves involving reliever Kyle Finnegan of the Washington Nationals. Finnegan, who has a 2.45 ERA and 18 saves in 2025, could be traded to the Tigers for prospect Joseph Montalvo, a highly regarded right-handed pitcher. The Tigers recently recalled right-handed pitcher Keider Montero from Triple-A Toledo to start a series game, while optioning left-handed reliever Bailey Horn back to Toledo. Additionally, the Tigers made a roster move involving left-handed reliever PJ Poulin, adding him to the 40-man roster but optioning him to Triple-A, signaling their interest in retaining him given his strong performance. Meanwhile, Sean Guenther was recalled but placed on the 60-day injured list following hip surgery, allowing the Tigers to open a roster spot. These moves highlight the Tigers' efforts to bolster pitching depth and flexibility as they prepare for the final months of the season and the trade deadline.
