Tigers Promote Top Prospect Jackson Jobe

The Detroit Tigers are promoting top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe to bolster their bullpen as they continue their push for an AL Wild Card spot. Jobe, ranked as the No. 1 pitching prospect by MLB Pipeline, joins the team ahead of their crucial series against the Tampa Bay Rays, with six games remaining in the regular season. The Tigers, currently holding a wild-card spot, have surged in the standings, winning 26 of their last 37 games. The move involves designating veteran right-hander Shelby Miller for assignment. Jobe, who posted a 2.36 ERA over 21 starts across three levels this season, is expected to provide much-needed depth to the Tigers' bullpen. Parker Meadows and Riley Greene led the Tigers to a 7-1 victory over the Rays, further cementing their playoff aspirations.
