Tigers' Alex Powers: Signs minors deal with Detroit
Rotowire
Powers signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The 29-year-old righty has yet to make his major-league debut. He had a poor 5.40 ERA in 48.1 innings at the Triple-A level in the Diamondbacks' and Padres' systems last season, though his 28.4 percent strikeout rate was at least somewhat encouraging.

Powers was signed by the Padres on Friday and assigned to Triple-A El Paso, per his MiLB.com player profile page.
The 29-year-old has a career 3.24 ERA and 34 saves in 213 minor-league appearances, all but two of which have been in relief. He has yet to pitch in the majors but logged a 1.98 ERA across 27.1 innings with the Reds' Triple-A squad in 2019.

Alex Powers: Let go by Reds
Rotowire
Powers was released by the Reds on Monday.
Powers was serving as organizational depth as part of the Reds' 60-man roster, but he apparently didn't make enough of an impact to remain with the organization. The 28-year-old posted a 1.98 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 27.1 innings at Triple-A in 2019.

Reds' Alex Powers: To provide bullpen depth
Rotowire
Powers will be a part of the Reds' 60-man player pool this season.
A 28-year-old right-handed reliever, Powers is not on the Reds' 40-man roster and is unlikely to play a major role this season. He had a 1.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 33 strikeouts in 27.1 innings at Triple-A last season.
