The move brings the 40-man roster to 39 players. So far, Jung has failed to capitalize on multiple opportunities to establish himself as the Tigers' primary third baseman — a role he could've claimed in spring training after the Tigers failed to sign Alex Bregman.

Scott Harris and the Detroit Tigers front office want to extend Tarik Skubal, but don't expect any indications of their ability to do so ahead of time.

The Detroit Tigers have maintained the best record in the American League and are tied with the New York Mets for the best record in MLB heading toward the All-Star Break, which is scheduled for July 15th in Atlanta.

Matt Vierling is expected to be back soon, and he played some third base last season in addition to playing outfield. The Tigers have guys that they can put at third base, but they don't really have a true third baseman. That is something that Nolan Arenado can provide, and his veteran presence and bat would be helpful additions as well.

Jace Jung, who just graduated off the Tigers' prospect list from MLB Pipeline, is back in Toledo after hitting .111 in 18 games.
