Tyler Owens - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Re-signs with Tigers on MiLB deal The Tigers re-signed Owens (hip) to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Owens was removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster and released over the weekend, but he's now back in the organization on a new deal. The righty is currently sidelined by a hip injury and it's unclear when he'll be ready to pitch again with Triple-A Toledo.

Cut loose by Detroit The Tigers released Owens (hip) on Friday.

Impact Detroit designated Owens for assignment Wednesday, and after the right-hander cleared waivers, the organization opted to move on from him rather than keeping him in the fold as pitching depth at Triple-A Toledo. Prior to begin DFA'd, Owens was placed on Toledo's 7-day injured list July 16 due to a right hip injury, but he made enough progress in his recovery to make a rehab appearance at Single-A Lakeland last Friday. The 24-year-old righty should be able to land a minor-league deal once he's back to full health.

Designated for assignment The Tigers designated Owens (hip) for assignment Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Owens has made three appearances for the Tigers this season, giving up one run over three innings while striking out a batter and walking three. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster in order to free up a spot for Rafael Montero, who was acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Wednesday. Owens carries a 5.40 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in Triple-A this season and is also working his way back from a right hip injury, which lowers his chances of being claimed off waivers.

Back in minors The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Impact Owens was brought up from the minor leagues to replace the injured Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), but after giving up a run during his inning of work Wednesday against the Nationals, he'll head right back to Triple-A. Bailey Horn, the Tigers' 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader, will remain with the big club to fill the open roster spot.

Heading back to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

Impact Owens appeared in two games out of the Tigers' bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A on May 1 and allowed one hit and no walks while striking out one batter over two innings. He'll head back to Triple-A in order to make room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Beau Brieske (ankle), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Owens should get another chance in the majors this season when Detroit needs to add depth to its bullpen.

Recalled from Toledo The Tigers recalled Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

Impact Owens received a promotion to Triple-A to start the season and has since turned in a 4.50 ERA and 1.79 WHIP alongside an 11:9 K:BB through 14 innings with the Mud Hens. Despite his subpar performance, he'll be recalled to the majors for the first time to replace Kenta Maeda, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Owens' stay in Detroit will likely be short, however, as Beau Brieske (ankle) is nearing activation from the injured list.

Assigned to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The 24-year-old made a strong impression during spring training with four strikeouts and no walks over 3.1 scoreless innings, but he'll still end up beginning the season in the minors. Owens could quickly be called up for his MLB debut if he's able to replicate the 2.96 ERA he posted at the Triple-A level last year.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Making impression in camp Owens is looking sharp so far in spring training and could push for an MLB bullpen role this season, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Owens, who was acquired last summer in the trade that sent Carson Kelly to Texas, is just 5-foot-10, but he has a unique delivery and can reach the upper 90s with his fastball. The 24-year-old pitched well following the trade, recording a 2.80 ERA and 35 strikeouts across 35.1 innings with Double-A Erie, and he figures to make the jump to Triple-A this year. Owens is also already on the 40-man roster, so if he continues to pitch well in the minors, his MLB debut might not be too far off as a member of Detroit's bullpen.
