Paul DeJong News: Latches on with Tigers
The Tigers signed DeJong to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
DeJong opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees last week after slashing .203/.361/.516 with six home runs and a 16:18 BB:K in 23 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. With Javier Baez (ankle) on the injured list and Gleyber Torres (side) also banged up, DeJong could get a look with the big club sooner rather than later.
