Jace Jung Optioned To Triple-A
The Detroit Tigers optioned third base prospect Jace Jung to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and recalled outfielder Akil Baddoo from Toledo in a corresponding move, according to the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold. With Jung heading back to the minors for more seasoning, Zach McKinstry will make the start at third base and bat sixth on Wednesday against Boston Red Sox right-hander Hunter Dobbins. Jung, the younger brother of Rangers third baseman Josh Jung, made his big-league debut in 2024 and hit .241 (19-for-79) with no homers and three RBI in 34 games. After the 24-year-old's promotion in April this year, though, he went 5-for-45 (.111) with no homers, three RBI, seven walks and 15 strikeouts in 18 games played to earn himself a trip back to the farm for more seasoning. When Matt Vierling (shoulder) returns from the injured list, he could steal playing time from McKinstry at third base.
