TJ Hopkins - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Cut by Detroit The Tigers released Hopkins on Friday.

Impact Hopkins reached the big leagues for the first time in 2023 and appeared in 25 games with the Reds, but after landing with the Tigers last offseason, he played exclusively at the Double-A level in 2024. He turned in an ugly .190/.326/.329 slash line over 95 plate appearances with Double-A Erie before being shut down for the season last May due to a shoulder injury. It's not clear if Hopkins is healthy or not heading into the 2025 season, but the Tigers will let him explore his options in free agency.

Optioned to Triple-A The Reds optioned Hopkins to Triple-A Louisville on Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Hopkins will head back to Triple-A after going 3-for-17 with three runs scored and 10 strikeouts since being recalled on Aug. 5. He's had a strong season with Louisville, but a lack of production at the major-league level could prevent Hopkins from returning to the bigs again this season.

Fills in for Fairchild Hopkins entered Sunday's game after Stuart Fairchild left with a concussion and went 0-for-3 in a 10-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

Impact Fairchild started in right field and crashed into the wall during the second inning while attempting to make a catch. Hopkins hasn't played much since his callup Aug. 5, garnering just one start and four plate appearances. Will Benson was out of the lineup Sunday against a lefty and should be in the lineup Monday against Angels righty Lucas Giolito. Lefty Reid Detmers is scheduled to face the Reds on Tuesday, which could be a spot for Hopkins or Henry Ramos.

Recalled from Triple-A Hopkins was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Impact Jake Fraley (toe) was placed on the 10-day injured list, so Hopkins will come up to offer some outfield depth. Hopkins is slashing .318/.425/.541 with 16 home runs in 85 games at Triple-A, but he is hitting .167 with zero home runs in 14 MLB games this season.
