US EditionTigers Plan to Call up Rookie Pitcher Before Kansas City Series
- The Detroit Tigers plan to call up right-handed reliever Dylan Smith before their Friday 8:10 p.m. Game against the Kansas City Royals in Kansas City, Missouri.
- Smith's promotion follows his strong 2025 performance after arm injuries slowed his progress during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, and it responds to the Tigers' bullpen needs.
- Smith posted a 1.80 ERA with 27 strikeouts and seven walks in 20 Double-A innings, recently debuted in Triple-A, and throws fastballs at 96-98 mph in relief.
- The Tigers hold a 37-20 record and first place in the AL Central, while the Royals stand 30-27 and fourth, with the Tigers leading the season series 3-1 ahead of Friday's matchup.
- Adding Smith will fill Detroit's final 40-man roster spot and could strengthen their bullpen as they aim to extend a four-game winning streak and refine rotation plans.
