DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers announced three roster moves ahead of Friday’s game, including the return of catcher Eric Haase and a swap of bullpen arms.
Haase, who is tied for the team lead with 19 home runs, has been out since Aug. 14 with an abdominal strain. Dustin Garneau and Grayson Greiner filled in during his absence, leaving a major hole in the lineup.
