US EditionTigers Acquire Veteran Reliever From Guardians, Designate Former Top Prospect
WAYNE COUNTY, MICHIGAN, JUL 31 – Detroit Tigers add right-hander Paul Sewald to bolster bullpen depth despite recent shoulder injuries with a $2 million contract commitment, expecting a September return.
- On Thursday, July 31, 2025, the Detroit Tigers added experienced reliever Paul Sewald to their roster through a trade with the Cleveland Guardians, sending either cash or a player to be named later in return.
- The Tigers aimed to strengthen their bullpen by adding pitchers with swing-and-miss ability, acquiring Sewald and Rafael Montero, both considered rentals with some injury concerns.
- Sewald, 35, has been sidelined since mid-July with an injury to his right shoulder but recorded a 4.70 ERA and 18 strikeouts over 15 innings before his time on the injured list.
- To add Sewald to their 40-man roster, the Tigers removed former top prospect Matt Manning, who struggled in 2025 with a 6.04 ERA and lost his rotation role during spring training.
- The Tigers bolstered their bullpen depth ahead of the trade deadline while expecting Sewald to recover and contribute later this season despite his current injury status.
