Against long odds, Gordon Beckham makes Tigers' Opening Day roster.

Wilson released
Beckham wasn't the only Tigers camp invitee who had to be told his fate by Saturday. Catcher Bobby Wilson had a similar opt-out, and was informed he will not make the club. He was granted his release, according to a source, and his locker has been cleared from the Tigers' clubhouse.

The Tigers could still try to re-sign Wilson to a Minor League contract to provide catching depth, but the soon-to-be 36-year-old is expected to gauge the market. He played 47 games for the Twins last year.

The moves leave 28 players on the Tigers' camp roster, including 13 position players. Wilson's release gives Cameron Rupp a chance to make the Opening Day roster as a third catcher, but Rupp said he has not been told anything yet. Though Rupp is a non-roster invitee, he does not have enough service time to qualify for a Saturday opt-out.

What's left;
With Beckham helping fill out the bench, the focus now turns to the Tigers' pitching staff, which has 15 members for likely 13 spots. With Drew VerHagen seemingly ready for Opening Day, the Tigers must decide between Spencer Turnbull and Daniel Norris for the rotation spot opened by Fulmer's injury.
If Norris doesn't make the rotation, he could still end up in relief, though the Tigers would have to either not carry Rule 5 pick Reed Garrett or drop Buck Farmer or Victor Alc?ntara to do so.

Tigers’ Jordan Zimmermann has something to build on in 2019.
The veteran starter has struggled since coming to Detroit, but his underlying numbers were much better last season.
