Tigers' Matt Merrill: Inks minors deal with Tigers

Detroit signed Merrill to a minor-league contract Wednesday.

Merrill pitched to a 3.86 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB in 37.1 innings last year between the Low-A and High-A affiliates of the Nationals. The 25-year-old right-hander will function as organizational relief depth for the Tigers in 2024.
