Papierski re-signed with Detroit on a minor-league deal Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Papierski was designated for assignment and non-tendered by the Tigers in mid-November, but while the organization didn't see a major-league role for him, they evidently like him enough to bring him back as a depth option. He didn't look like he deserved anything else in his 39-game MLB debut last year, hitting .143/.228/.187.
