6/10/25 | Tigers outfielder goes unclaimed on waivers, outrighted to Toledo. DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Toledo.

Baddoo was recalled last month to take the spot of struggling rookie infielder Jace Jung. He went 2-for-17 during his 10-day stint with the big-league club.
