Quick hits

? Triple-A Toledo catcher Brad Davis made his professional pitching debut for the Mud Hens on Wednesday in a 12-0 loss to Louisville. He pitched the ninth inning, walking the bases loaded before inducing a fly out and a double play to escape the jam. The Hens were short a reliever after the Tigers recalled Evan Reed on Sunday.

? Tigers catching prospect James McCann went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Wednesday's Eastern League All-Star Game. His Double-A Erie teammate, Will Startup, pitched a perfect fifth inning for the Western Division All-Stars in a 5-0 win. McCann will represent the Tigers on Sunday in the MLB All-Star Futures Game at New York's Citi Field.

DETROIT -- As expected, Tigers 23rd-round Draft pick Tyler Alexander did not sign by Friday's 5 p.m. ET deadline, instead opting to play college ball at TCU. The fact that the Texas high school left-hander was the second-highest ranked Tigers Draft pick not to sign made it a lot more palatable for them.

University of Pittsburgh pitcher Matt Wotherspoon, the Tigers' 20th-round pick, also went unsigned. He opted to return to school for his senior season.

Alexander was the first high school player the Tigers selected in their collegian-heavy Draft last month. The Tigers knew Alexander would not be an easy sign when they drafted him. The Dallas Morning News High School Pitcher of the Year went 12-1 with a 0.66 ERA at Southlake Carroll High School, striking out 177 batters over 94 2/3 innings. Reports suggested the Tigers would try hard this week to get him signed, but his commitment appeared firm.
