Brant Hurter RP | DET
Tigers' Brant Hurter: Promotion imminent
The Tigers will select Hurter's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Hurter is scheduled to pitch Sunday against the Royals, but manager A.J. Hinch said that Hurter will be working behind an opener. The trade deadline left Detroit with just two starters in its rotation, so it's possible Hurter could stick around in the majors if he performs well Sunday. The 25-year-old southpaw has put up a 5.80 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 71.1 innings in Triple-A this season.
