The Detroit Tigers promoted outfielder Ben Malgeri from Triple‑A Toledo on June 23, 2026. The move adds right‑handed hitting depth to the roster. Malgeri replaces infielder Trei Cruz, who was sent down. The promotion comes alongside moves that elevated Brett Callahan and John Peck to Triple‑A Toledo.
Malgeri is an Exeter High graduate. He joins the major‑league club following a season in Toledo. The call‑up was said by the Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News. He provides a right‑handed option in that outfield and adds depth for that upcoming schedule.
