Tigers selected the contract of RHP Troy Watson from Triple-A Toledo; optioned him to Triple-A Toledo.

With Will Vest being moved to the 60-day injured list on Sunday, the Tigers had an opening on their 40-man roster to add Watson. The 29-year-old hurler has compiled a 2.88 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 39/20 K/BB ratio over 56 1/3 innings primarily at Triple-A Toledo this season. He could get a chance to finally make his big league debut before the summer is through.
