Tigers Elevate Max Clark to the Majors
Detroit is calling up 21-year-old outfielder Max Clark, the No. 3 overall pick in 2023, though he must be added to the 40-man roster first. Clark has slashed .276/.368/.434 with 10 homers and 21 steals at Triple-A, and has heated up lately to a .328/.427/.523 line over 32 games. Scouts praise his plus speed, contact skills, and at least-average power, with defense projecting in center or right. The move isn't expected to yield a full-season stay or major rookie-year impact this year, serving as a development-focused audition for the Tigers.
