Thomas Szapucki News: Healthy again at Single-A

Szapucki (pectoral) struck out one batter and allowed one hit over one scoreless inning Wednesday for Single-A Lakeland after being activated from the 60-day injured list.

Szapucki is finally healthy again after he missed two entire seasons while recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, which he underwent in May 2023. The 29-year-old lefty previously saw big-league action with the Mets and Giants during the 2021 and 2022 seasons, but after the long layoff, he'll need to stack some appearances in the low minors before the Tigers consider moving him up to one of their higher-level affiliates.
