The Detroit Tigers DFA Enrique Gonzalez
The Tigers have designated 28-year old righty reliever Enrique Gonzalez for assignment. Gonzalez pitched in 18 games (0 starts) for the Tigers this year and he was 0-1 with a 3.81 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. The Tigers have called up 25-year old righty swinging outfielder Casper Wells to replace Gonzalez on the active roster. Wells played in 4 games earlier this year for the Tigers and he was 2 for 9 (.222 avg, .556 OPS) with 2 RBIs. He has also played in 103 games in AAA-ball this year and he was 90 of 387 (.233 avg, .793 OPS) with 56 runs scored, 21 homers, 46 RBIs and 7 stolen bases. He should be able to provide some thump off the bench for the Tigers the rest of the way.
