The Tigers announced that catcher has cleared waivers. He was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo and will remain in the organization without occupying a spot on the 40-man roster. Detroit acquired Sands alongside and in last offseasons trade sending and to Jason Kendall Jersey Philadelphia. While Maton and Vierling saw a decent amount of action at Comerica Park, Sands spent the year in the minors. Outside of four appearances in Double-A, he played with Toledo all season. Over 89 games for the Mud Hens, the 27-year-old had a .225/.318/.353 batting line. He homered only five times in 371 plate appearances, although his 12.1% walk rate and 19.9% strikeout percentage were each better than average. The lack of impact on batted balls made 2023 a disappointing showing, well below the .308/.413/.428 slash hed managed with the Phillies Triple-A team the year before. Sands has three games of big league experience, all of which came with the Phils in 2022. Hell likely get a look in big league camp as a non-roster invitee. Detroit has and as the MLB catching duo. Prospect was added to the 40-man roster in November to keep him out of the Rule 5 draft. Dingler didnt hit well in his first crack at Triple-A, so Sands may still be Detroits top depth option if either Rogers or Kelly suffer an injury. Duane Underwood Jr. Jersey
