Chris Paddack returned to the Detroit Tigers from the bereavement list after three days with his family. To make room on the roster, designated hitter Justyn-Henry Malloy was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sept. 6. Malloy appeared in three games, going 1-for-2 with a walk and providing an RBI double on Sept. 2 while playing first base for the first time in his MLB career. Paddack moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen and owns a 5.37 ERA in 2025, including a 6.89 ERA across 31⅓ innings since the July 31 trade. His first relief outing allowed six runs over 1⅓ innings.
"Right-handed reliever Chris Paddack - who recently moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen - has returned to the Detroit Tigers from the bereavement list. He left the Tigers for three days after the death of a family member. To accommodate for Paddack's return, the Tigers optioned designated hitter Justyn-Henry Malloy to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Sept. 6, before the second of three games in the series against the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park."
"In three games, Malloy went 1-for-2 with one walk across three plate appearances. The 25-year-old didn't start in any of the four games while he was on the active roster, though he came off the bench in three games, including twice as a pinch-hitter. The Tigers called on Malloy as a pinch-hitter Friday, Sept. 5, in a 7-5 loss to the White Sox, replacing Parker Meadows for a favorable matchup with left-handed reliever Tyler Gilbert with two outs in the seventh inning."
