Detroit Tigers claim Carlos Hernández off waivers from Phillies to join MLB roster
The Detroit Tigers have added to their bullpen. The Tigers claimed right-handed reliever Carlos Hernández off waivers Monday, June 16, from the Philadelphia Phillies. The 28-year-old doesn't have any minor league options remaining, so he will join the Tigers' active roster for the upcoming game Tuesday, June 17, against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Comerica Park. Advertisement The 40-man roster is now full. Kansas City Royals pitcher Carlos Hernandez (43) delivers the pitch in the ninth inning of the MLB game between the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati on Saturday, Aug. 17, 2024. After claiming Hernández, the Tigers need to make a corresponding move to create space on the 26-man roster. There are two clear options: placing right-handed reliever Will Vest on the 15-day injured list with a right pinky finger injury, or optioning right-handed reliever Tyler Owens to Triple-A Toledo. Vest suffered a pinky injury in the eighth inning Sunday, June 15, but the severity of the injury is unknown. ROSTER MOVE: Tigers designate John Brebbia for assignment, call up RHP Tyler Owens It seems like Hernández could be the replacement. He has a 4.98 ERA in his six-year MLB career, spanning 282 innings. Advertisement In 2025, Hernández posted a 5.26 ERA with the Phillies, allowing 32 hits and 12 walks while recording just 23 strikeouts across 25⅔ innings in 25 relief appearances. The Phillies designated him for assignment Wednesday, June 11, for performance reasons. The one positive: Hernández averages 97.8 mph with his four-seam fastball. Hernández spent his first five seasons with the Kansas City Royals, from 2020-24. This story will be updated. Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.

Father's Day is just around the corner. Gift ideas that will put a smile on dad's face
Families are counting down to celebrate Father's Day, a holiday to commemorate dads, grandpas and male figures. The county has been celebrating fathers for more than a century. The country's first unofficial Father's Day began with a service in a West Virginia church in 1908 as the congregation came together to eulogize 362 men killed in a Fairmont Coal Company mine disaster. The sentiment behind the holiday and its celebration have spread and expanded since then. In 1972, President Richard Nixon made it a national holiday. The day now includes backyard barbecues, rounds of golf or other hobbies enjoyed by dads and gifts. Gifts are a great way to show appreciation to others, Jessica Andrews-Hanna, an associate professor at the University of Arizona said in a Q&A, adding that gift-giving makes us feel better. "Evidence from brain imaging also suggests that both giving gifts and receiving gifts activate core areas of our brain associated with reward and pleasure," Andrews-Hanna said in a news release. Many may be wondering what to get their Dad for his special day? A few ideas: If your father is a fan of cars or auto racing — maybe even still excited after watching the 2025 Detroit Grand Prix — book him a spot at Michigan International Speedway for a one-hour training session inside a race car. At the end he'll have the chance to drive an Indy-style race car. The event is hosted by Virgin Experience Gifts and allows the driver to get on the track for a timed session and communicate with a racing instructor through a radio system. There are eight packages available starting at $539. For the dads who enjoy fishing, there are numerous spots in Michigan perfect for the occasion. Michigan's lakes and streams are home to more than 150 species, most of which are legal to catch. You can cast a line at more than 100 state parks and hundreds of other locations. Some favorites include William G. Milliken State Park and Harbor, Bishop Park, Belleville Lake and Lake St. Clair. Gifts can include such things as rods, reels, a cooler, etc. To celebrate the Detroit Tigers' quasquicentennial season, the Detroit Free Press' book 'Roar of 125: The Epic History of the Detroit Tigers!' will cost $44.95, but order now and it's only $33.71, plus shipping and handling. Order online at For a personal automotive gift, give sign your dad up for unlimited car washes for as low as $16 a month. Super Car Wash has Michigan's No. 1 unlimited wash club membership program, and has 10 locations across the state. If your father is a sports fan, there are tons of Michigan teams apparel that you can get him to support his favorite team. Whether it's the Tigers, Pistons, Lions, or University of Michigan or Michigan State, there is a plethora of Michigan merchandise that your father would love. Bucket list golf course round for dad Michigan is blessed with a number of great golf courses, although some can be pricey for every day play. But if dad's a golf nut — and there are many around — maybe a round at someplace like Arcadia Bluffs in Arcadia ($275 through Oct. 5), American Dunes in Grand Haven ($205) or Forest Dunes in Roscommon ($165-$195) — or any number of other great courses — fits the bill. Father's Day falls on June 15, 2025. Father's Day always falls on the third Sunday of June, which means the calendar date changes every year. The holiday celebrates fatherhood, fathers and father figures, the Old Farmer's Almanac's website says. In the U.S., Father's Day celebrations date back to the early 1900s in the state of Washington, according to Prior to that time period, a West Virginia church held the country's first event honoring fathers, a 1908 Sunday sermon for 362 men killed in a Fairmont Coal Company mine disaster. In 1972, former President Richard Nixon signed a law making Father's Day a permanent national holiday. Jalen Williams is a trending reporter at the Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Tigers call up Jahmai Jones; Andy Ibáñez optioned to Triple-A Toledo
The Detroit Tigers have added a new player to their active roster. The Tigers called up Jahmai Jones, a 27-year-old outfielder, from Triple-A Toledo, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who were granted anonymity because the roster moves are not official. The Tigers optioned infielder Andy Ibáñez to the Mud Hens, following his continued struggles against left-handed pitchers. Advertisement Since July 21, 2024, Ibáñez is hitting .200 with a .578 OPS against left-handed pitchers across 136 plate appearances. He has hit just two home runs off lefties — and three total — during the 319-day stretch. MORE ABOUT THIS: Andy Ibáñez struggling vs lefties. That's a big problem for Tigers Detroit Tigers infielder Jahmai Jones walks out of the batting cage after practice during spring training at TigerTown in Lakeland, Fla. on Friday, Feb. 21, 2025. Both Jones and Ibáñez are right-handed hitters with track records of success against left-handed pitchers, so Jones is expected to step into the Ibáñez platoon role — only as an outfielder instead of an infielder. The Tigers need to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Jones, which could result in outfielder Akil Baddoo, currently in Toledo, being designated for assignment. Advertisement In 2025, Jones is hitting .276 with six home runs, 24 walks and 46 strikeouts across 52 games for Triple-A Toledo, posting an .875 OPS. He has made 18 starts in left field, 15 starts in right field and seven starts in center field. Jones has MLB service time in parts of four seasons, hitting .198 with a .535 OPS in 69 games. He has played for the Los Angeles Angels (three games in 2020), Baltimore Orioles (26 games in 2021), Milwaukee Brewers (seven games in 2203) and New York Yankees (33 games in 2024). He had a .238 batting average with the Yankees last season. This story will be updated. Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.
