The Tigers released Gipson-Long on Monday.
After posting a 7.18 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB across 31.1 innings for Detroit in 2025, he opened the 2026 campaign on the injured list due to an oblique issue and was optioned to Triple-A Toledo once healthy. The right-hander spent the full season at Triple-A, struggling to a 5.52 ERA over 108 innings while working out of the rotation.
