The Tigers re-signed Owens (hip) to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Owens was removed from the Tigers' 40-man roster and released over the weekend, but he's now back in the organization on a new deal. The righty is currently sidelined by a hip injury, and it's unclear when he'll be ready to pitch again with Triple-A Toledo.

The Tigers released Owens (hip) on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit designated Owens for assignment Wednesday, and after the right-hander cleared waivers, the organization opted to move on from him rather than keeping him in the fold as pitching depth at Triple-A Toledo. Prior to begin DFA'd, Owens was placed on Toledo's 7-day injured list July 16 due to a right hip injury, but he made enough progress in his recovery to make a rehab appearance at Single-A Lakeland last Friday. The 24-year-old righty should be able to land a minor-league deal once he's back to full health.

The Tigers designated Owens (hip) for assignment Wednesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Owens has made three appearances for the Tigers this season, giving up one run over three innings while striking out a batter and walking three. He'll now be cast off the 40-man roster in order to free up a spot for Rafael Montero, who was acquired in a trade with Atlanta on Wednesday. Owens carries a 5.40 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in Triple-A this season and is also working his way back from a right hip injury, which lowers his chances of being claimed off waivers.

The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Owens was brought up from the minor leagues to replace the injured Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), but after giving up a run during his inning of work Wednesday against the Nationals, he'll head right back to Triple-A. Bailey Horn, the Tigers' 27th man during Wednesday's doubleheader, will remain with the big club to fill the open roster spot.

The Tigers recalled Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
He'll take over the 26-man active roster spot of right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), who was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Owens made two relief appearances for Detroit earlier this season but has spent most of the 2025 campaign pitching out of the bullpen at Toledo, where he's posted a 5.46 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 28 innings.

The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

The Tigers recalled Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander was up with the Tigers briefly in early May and will rejoin the big club Sunday after John Brebbia was designated for assignment. Owens made two scoreless appearances during his previous stint with Detroit but has a 5.74 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 23:17 K:BB across 26.2 innings with Toledo this season.

The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Owens appeared in two games out of the Tigers' bullpen since being recalled from Triple-A on May 1 and has allowed one hit and no walks while striking out one batter over two innings. He'll head back to Triple-A in order to make room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Beau Brieske (ankle), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Owens should get another chance in the majors this season should Detroit need to add depth to its bullpen.

The Tigers recalled Owens from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Owens received a promotion to Triple-A to start the season and has since turned in a 4.50 ERA and 1.79 WHIP alongside an 11:9 K:BB through 14 innings with the Mud Hens. Despite his subpar performance, he'll be recalled to the majors for the first time to replace Kenta Maeda, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Owens' stay in Detroit will likely be short, however, as Beau Brieske (ankle) is nearing activation from the injured list.

The Tigers optioned Owens to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 24-year-old made a strong impression during spring training with four strikeouts and no walks over 3.1 scoreless innings, but he'll still end up beginning the season in the minors. Owens could quickly be called up for his MLB debut if he's able to replicate the 2.96 ERA he posted at the Triple-A level in 2024.
