Final Line for #Tigers Franklin Perez in first High-A start since coming back off the IL:
▶️ 3.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
62 pitches (39 strikes)
 
The Tigers announced the signings of 2019 Draft fifth-rounder Bryant Packard, a left fielder, as well as first baseman Cole Zabowski (22nd round). Per MLB Pipeline?s Jim Callis, Packard signed for $386,600, the full slot value for pick No. 142.
Tigers' 2019 Draft picks.
This pair of signings brings the Tigers? total to 27 of their 40 Draft selections.
 
Beau Burrows is back.
After nearly two months on the injured list, pitching prospect Beau Burrows has finally returned to the mound. His first rehab start with the Lakeland Flying Tigers went well ? he allowed only one hit along with two walks, while striking out five over four scoreless innings. Burrows remarked that he is pitching pain-free and felt good back out in live action.
The return of MLB Pipeline?s sixth-ranked prospect in the Tigers? system is a welcome sight for the organization, as the big league team?s starting pitching staff has been decimated by injuries since the beginning of the season. If Burrows can stay on track and get stretched back out, he can expect to pitch under the bright lights of Comerica Park in the very near future.
 
Matt Manning is up to No. 33.
Speaking of top pitching prospects, Matt Manning has moved up to No. 33 on MLB Pipeline?s Top 100 overall list after dominating Double-AA with the Erie SeaWolves this season. The promotion took him from the No. 49 position ? just a hair inside of the top 50 ? to the upper third of the list. The move also puts him in the top 10 among right-handed pitchers, though there were no changes to his future value scores.
He is accompanied in the rankings by Casey Mize, who holds the No. 2 spot overall, along with Franklin Perez (No. 63) and Isaac Paredes (No. 84), demonstrating the improvement of the prospect crop in the Tigers? farm system.
