McGehee's contract was purchased by the Tigers on Saturday, Katie Strang of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

McGehee failed to make the Opening Day roster but has remained with the Tigers organization at Triple-A Toledo. The veteran infielder is slashing .323/.370/.440 with 27 RBI in 66 Triple-A games, and he'll now join the Tigers in what will likely be a utility role. In a corresponding move, Detroit DFA'd outfielder Wynton Bernard to clear room on the 40-man roster.
