Wotherspoon signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday, Andersen Pickard of MLBDailyDish.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wotherspoon was cut loose by the Orioles on Monday, but his trip to the open market didn't last long. He'll likely be assigned to Triple-A Toledo upon signing with Detroit.

Wotherspoon was released by Baltimore on Monday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wotherspoon was booted off the Orioles' 40-man roster in early July after failing to find success in the first two big-league outings of his career. He surrendered eight runs on 10 hits and two walks while fanning two batters over 4.2 innings of work.

Wotherspoon was designated for assignment by the Orioles on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wotherspoon has thrown 4.2 innings for the Orioles this season, allowing eight runs. He was removed from the 40-man roster to allow the Orioles to select Asher Wojciechowski's contract from Triple-A Norfolk.

Wotherspoon was optioned to Triple-A following Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Padres.

EDGE Analysis

This move frees up a roster spot for John Means (shoulder), who is slated to come off the injured list ahead of his scheduled start Friday. Wotherspoon made just one appearance during his most recent stint with the big club, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two across 2.2 innings.

Wotherspoon's contract was selected by the Orioles from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander has struggled to limit offensive production with Triple-A Norfolk this season, recording an ERA of 4.46 and giving up six home runs in 40.1 innings. However, Wotherspoon has amassed a solid 47:13 K:BB in the minors in 2019. Injuries to John Means (shoulder), Alex Cobb (hip) and Josh Lucas (shoulder) led to Wotherspoon's return, so it's unclear whether he will remain with the Orioles once the players return to health. Due to his inconsistency, Wotherspoon will likely handle mostly low-leverage situations for the foreseeable future.

Wotherspoon was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk following Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Wotherspoon was promoted prior to Wednesday's game and got his first taste of the big leagues as he allowed three runs on four hits across two innings. The 27-year-old rejoins Norfolk to make room for Alex Cobb's (groin) return from the injured list Thursday.

Wotherspoon has been called up from Triple-A Norfolk.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old reliever had a 4.60 ERA with 105 strikeouts through 94 innings pitched last year in Triple-A, so he will probably not be used in high-leverage situations. The corresponding move was designating Pedro Araujo for assignment.
