Moya will be recalled from Double-A Erie in advance of Monday's game against the Indians, MLive.com's Chris Iott reports. The 22-year-old Moya established himself as one of the premier power threats in the minors this season, swatting 35 homers in 133 games with Erie entering play Sunday. His plate discipline still leaves a lot to be desired and may lower his ceiling at the major league level, but he'll at least provide the Tigers with a home-run threat off the bench in September.

Moya hit a home run for the third game in a row Wednesday for Double-A Erie, his 33rd of the year. Moya is on the back end of the home run leaders' race, behind Joey Gallo and Kris Bryant, both with 40, and a few others. He has an outside chance of tripling his previous high of 13 in a season. The power breakout is impressive, as are the caveats given his extreme lack of plate discipline and patience.

Tigers outfield prospect Steven Moya went 3-for-7 with a double and two home runs for Double-A Erie on Friday. Moya is hitting .265/.287/.543 with 23 doubles, two triples, and 20 home runs for the season. His power is legit, but he has an overly-aggressive approach at the plate, and fails to make consistent contact, as is shown by his 94 strikeouts in 328 plate appearances (28.7 percent) and his nine walks (2.7 percent) for the season. He is currently leading the Double-A Eastern League in home runs, and could be in line for a promotion to Triple-A Toledo.

Tigers outfield prospect Steven Moya went 3-for-5 with a home run on Monday, raising his season line to .266/.290/.524. Moya has the power to hit 20-plus home runs, but may have the most aggressive approach in professional baseball, as he has eight walks (3.0 percent) and 74 strikeouts (74 percent) in 264 plate appearances. Despite his obvious power, he will need to tone down his approach in order to have a chance at a promotion.

Tigers prospect OF went 3-for-4 with his 11th home run of the season on Sunday for Double-A Erie. Few minor leaguers have as much raw power as Moya, as the left-handed hitting slugger has now amassed 15 doubles, two triples and 11 home runs through his first 52 games. The 22-year-old, who is known for being streaky, has been on fire lately, as he's batting a robust .462/.475/1.026 with six home runs, 12 RBI and four stolen bases during his current 10-game hitting streak. The streak has raised his season batting line to .279/.301/.543 through 52 games, but Moya's massive swing and overaggressive approach has also produced an ugly 56/9 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 206 plate appearances.

Tigers optioned OF Steven Moya to Double-A Erie. Moya impressed this spring, batting .350/.381/.550 over 12 games. However, he's yet to play above A-ball and obviously needs more seasoning.

Tigers prospect Steven Moya went 3-for-3 off the bench Friday against the Yankees. Moya was added to the 40-man roster in November after hitting .255/.296/.433 with 12 homers in 365 at-bats for Single-A Lakeland last year. He has ample power potential, and he should boost his homer total now that he's out of the Florida State League, but because of a flawed approach at the plate -- he had a 106/18 K/BB ratio last year -- he's a long shot to become a major league regular.
