After a long road to recovery from two separate surgeries last year, Sawyer Gipson-Long is back in the big leagues.
The Tigers activated Gipson-Long from the 60-day injured list and tabbed him to start Wednesday night’s matchup with the White Sox at Rate Field. To make room on the active roster, Detroit optioned Dylan Smith to Triple-A Toledo, and to open a spot on the 40-man roster, the team recalled Jason Foley from Triple-A and placed him on the 60-day IL as he continues to recover from right shoulder surgery.
