The Tigers re-signed Little to a minor-league contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

After being non-tendered by Detroit last month, Little will wind up staying in the organization. Slated to turn 28 in January, Little allowed two runs over three innings during his brief time in the majors in 2025 with the Dodgers.

Little was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers claimed Little in early November but then designated him for assignment two weeks later. He'll now officially hit free agency. Little made his very brief MLB debut with the Dodgers in June and July.

Little was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claimed off waivers from the Pirates earlier this month, Little ended up spending less than two weeks on the Tigers' 40-man roster. Little will now be subjected to waivers once again after spending the 2025 season primarily at the Triple-A level, making just a pair of relief appearances with the Dodgers over the summer.

The Tigers claimed Little off waivers from the Pirates on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Little went from the Dodgers to the Pirates via waivers in August but never made an appearance in Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old allowed two runs in three innings with the Dodgers in 2025 and held a 4.06 ERA and 53:22 K:BB over 62 frames at the Triple-A level.

The Pirates placed Little on outright waivers Tuesday, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Pirates claimed Little off waivers from the Dodgers in August, but he never made an appearance for Pittsburgh. He posted a 2.79 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 19.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis, however, which could be enough for another team to give the 27-year-old reliever a 40-man spot early in the offseason.

The Pirates claimed Little off waivers from the Dodgers on Wednesday and assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Pittsburgh had two open spots on its 40-man roster, and Little had three minor-league options left, so putting in a waiver claim for the 27-year-old reliever amounted to a low-risk move for the organization to burnish its bullpen depth. Little made two appearances at the big-league level for the Dodgers but had otherwise spent the entire season at Triple-A Oklahoma City, with whom he logged a 4.64 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB in 42.2 innings.

The Dodgers designated Little for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Luken Baker, who was claimed off waivers. Little has made two relief appearances at the big-league level this season, allowing two runs over three innings.

The Dodgers optioned Little to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Dodgers sent Little back to the minors to clear room on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Emmet Sheehan, who was recalled from Oklahoma City to start Sunday against the Astros. Little has served as a middle-relief option over his two stints in the big leagues this season, making two appearances while giving up two earned runs over three innings.

The Dodgers recalled Little from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Little gave up two runs in two innings during his lone MLB outing this year, but he owns a 3.60 ERA and 1.37 WHIP through 35 innings in the minors. He'll work in middle relief for Los Angeles and take the place of Noah Davis on the active roster.
