Mariners Promote Elite Prospect Kade Anderson for MLB Debut

Seattle called up left-hander Kade Anderson, widely regarded as MLB's top pitching prospect, to make his big-league debut on Aug. 22 against the Cubs after a dominant run in Double-A Arkansas (93.1 IP, 135 K, 13 BB; 1.06 ERA with 1.78 FIP, 2.67 DRA).

Seattle Promotes Top Prospect Kade Anderson for MLB Debut

Seattle will promote pitching prospect Kade Anderson to make his MLB debut against the Cubs on Saturday, creating a 40-man roster hole likely by transferring Matt Brash to the 60-day injured list due to his lat strain. Anderson, widely regarded as the top pitching prospect in the game and the third overall pick in 2025, has dominated Double-A Arkansas (18 starts, 1.06 ERA, 41% strikeouts) with a four-pitch arsenal and advanced command. His arrival could spur Seattle to a six-man rotation as they look to turn around a sputtering season; the Mariners sit 60-68 and remain in the AL West race but outside the top Wild Card spots, seeking a spark from their top prospect.

Tigers Call Up Brett Callahan for MLB Debut as Cruz is Designated

The Detroit Tigers promoted Brett Callahan from Triple-A Toledo to make his MLB debut and designated Trei Cruz for assignment to clear a 40-man spot. Callahan, 24, has a strong minor-league track record (Double-A: .268/.374/.504, 133 wRC+, 29 steals) and could provide outfield depth as injuries to Carpenter, Greene, and Outman linger; he’ll remain rookie-eligible if he stays under 130 at-bats this season. Cruz, who debuted in June, has struggled to a .232/.288/.289 line with a 56 wRC+ in Toledo and was designated for assignment to preserve roster flexibility, with a real chance to return to Triple-A if he clears waivers.
