The Tigers needed to add De Jesus to their 40-man roster to keep him from agreeing to a contract overseas, where he pitched for the last two seasons. The 29-year-old has thrown 6 1/3 innings for the Tigers this spring without allowing an earned run. He has allowed just four hits while striking out seven and walking one. There is a chance he wins a spot in the bullpen to open the season.

Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports that De Jesus will earn $1.3 million if he reaches the majors. The 29-year-old southpaw spent the last two seasons pitching overseas in Korea with the Kiwoom Heroes and KT Wiz, respectively. He last appeared in the majors with the Marlins back in 2023. He represents low-risk gamble for the Tigers heading into spring training.
