The Detroit Tigers are promoting outfielder Max Clark, their top-ranked prospect, for Friday’s series opener against the host Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif., MLB.com reported Thursday.
Clark, 21, is ranked No. 1 in the Tigers’ farm system and No. 13 among all major league prospects by MLB Pipeline. He has been tearing it up in July, batting .338 with a 1.086 OPS and five home runs through 19 games.
Through four seasons in the minors, the center fielder has slashed .272/.383/.425 with 36 home runs, 203 RBIs and 74 steals in 331 games. Detroit will need to make room on its 26- and 40-man rosters to complete the transaction.
