The Max Clark era has officially arrived in Detroit.
The Detroit Tigers announced Friday that they selected Clark’s contract from Triple-A Toledo, adding the organization’s No. 1 prospect to a major-league roster for the first time in his professional career.
Clark will officially wear No. 15 with Detroit.
Clark’s promotion comes as outfielder Matt Vierling lands on the 10-day injured list with a left adductor strain. The move is retroactive to July 30.
Detroit also recalled left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus from Toledo after optioning right-hander Brenan Hanifee to Triple-A on Thursday.
To clear a spot for Clark on the 40-man roster, the Tigers designated right-hander Andre Granillo for assignment.
Clark earned the promotion after batting .276 with a .368 on-base percentage, 11 home runs and 21 stolen bases across 90 games with Toledo.
The 21-year-old center fielder was selected third overall by Detroit in the 2023 MLB Draft and quickly became the centerpiece of the Tigers’ position-player pipeline.
Now comes the moment Detroit fans have been waiting to see.
Max Clark is officially a Detroit Tiger.
Vierling’s injury created the immediate opening, but Clark’s performance in Toledo put him in position to take advantage. His first major-league opportunity begins with plenty of excitement and a chance to show why Detroit has viewed him as a future franchise cornerstone.
