Detroit Tigers Claim Pitching Prospect Yoniel Curet

The Detroit Tigers have enhanced their pitching depth by claiming Yoniel Curet off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies. This move was made to create a roster spot, coinciding with Parker Meadows being moved to the 60-day injured list.

Curet, a 23-year-old right-hander, has been added to Detroit's 40-man roster and initially optioned to the Florida Complex League. The team anticipates he will soon join Triple-A Toledo to start the season. Curet was acquired by Philadelphia in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays during the past offseason.

Despite not yet debuting in MLB, Curet showcased impressive performance in Double-A last season, achieving a 1.45 ERA and a 0.911 WHIP. While his ERA rose in Triple-A, he still recorded 35 strikeouts in 31.1 innings. With a combined 62 strikeouts over 55.1 innings, he displays significant "swing and miss" potential from both starting and relief roles.
