Tigers' TJ Hopkins: Scooped up by Detroit

The Tigers claimed Hopkins off waivers from the Giants on Tuesday.

Hopkins has now bounced around from the Reds to the Giants and now to the Tigers this offseason. He struggled during his cup of coffee in Cincinnati, but the 27-year-old slashed .296/.392/.496 at Triple-A Louisville over 119 games across the 2022 and 2023 minor-league seasons. Hopkins will compete for a reserve outfielder job but is likely headed to Triple-A Toledo to begin the season.
