Detroit Tigers Snag Left-Hander Off Waivers From Oakland A's

The Detroit Tigers added some relief depth with their waiver claim from the Oakland A's

After the Oakland A's designated left-handed reliever Easton Lucas for assignment on Thursday, it was announced today that the Detroit Tigers had claimed the 27-year-old and sent him to Triple-A Toledo.

For Detroit, he offers some potential to figure things out, but their bullpen currently ranks fourth in baseball with a 3.11 ERA. Their excellence is arguably what's keeping the Tigers around the .500 mark, so finding a spot for the lefty could be tricky. Lucas' FIP with Oakland this year sits at a solid 2.31 in the small sample, so there is room to believe he could be of some service for Detroit.
