The Detroit Tigers have bolstered their rotation by acquiring right-hander Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins. This trade comes in the wake of an injury to Reese Olson, who has been placed on the injured list.

Paddack's performance this season has not matched his improved health, as he currently holds a 4.95 ERA. Nonetheless, he will fill the fifth starter role left vacant by Olson's injury. The Tigers have struggled recently, losing 12 of their last 14 games, but still maintain a commanding lead over the Guardians in the AL Central.

Randy Dobnak also joins the Tigers as part of the trade, while minor-league catcher Enrique Jimenez heads to the Twins. The transaction signals a strategic move for Detroit as they aim for a postseason berth. Manager A.J. Hinch emphasized the need for consistency in their pitching staff moving forward as they look to secure their playoff position.
