Infante is a long-shot to make the Tigers roster unless there are injuries.
The Tigers have tendered a contract to super-utility player Andrew Romine.
Another potential bench player, shortstop Dixon Machado, is out of options and must make the roster or be subject to waiver claims.

The Tigers announced the signing of 13 other players Friday, many of whom were in the organization in 2016.
Right-handed pitchers Ruben Alaniz, Johan Belisario, Endrys Briceno, William Cuevas, Jeff Ferrell, Santiago Garrido, Logan Kensing, Arcenio Leon, Dustin Molleken and Cory Riordan; infielders Argenis Diaz, Omar Infante and Gustavo Nunez; and catcher Miguel Gonzalez all signed minor-league deals.

Alaniz, Cuevas, Infante, Kensing, Molleken and Gonzalez received an invitation to Major League spring training camp.

Pitcher A.J. Achter, who reportedly signed a minor-league deal with the Tigers, was not included on the list, although more names could be announced later.

Veteran lefty Travis Blackley has announced via Twitter that he?s signed a deal with the Tigers, presumably of the minor league variety.
Last season, the 34-year-old Blackley pitched for Puebla in the Mexican League, posting a 3.92 ERA, 5.1 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 over 110 1/3 innings as a starter.
Since last pitching in the big leagues in 2013 (when he appeared with the Astros and Rangers), Blackley has also pitched for the Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan, for the Triple-A New Orleans Zephyrs in the US, and for Brisbane in his native Australia.
