DETROIT -- After Tuesday’s flurry of roster moves , the Detroit Tigers woke up Wednesday with a clearer picture of their infield and a thinner bullpen.

The Tigers added five prospects to their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 protection deadline, more than many expected. Veteran second baseman Gleyber Torres also accepted a qualifying offer to return in 2026.

To make room, the Tigers DFA’d six relievers, including right-hander Jason Foley and left-hander Sean Guenther, both of whom played important roles in the 2024 playoff push.

Here are the key takeaways from the busy day.

The Tigers’ infield appears mostly set.

Never say never, but it is harder to see the Tigers making a strong push for free-agent infielders Bo Bichette or Alex Bregman after Torres’ return.
