"The Tigers agreed to a minor league contract with reliever Dugan Darnell, as first reflected on the MLB.com transaction tracker. Evan Petzold of The Detroit Free-Press reports that Darnell will receive a non-roster invite to MLB camp. He'd make a little more than the $780K league minimum if he cracks the big league roster. Although Darnell will be with the club in camp, he's not going to see any game action."
"The 28-year-old underwent surgery to repair a labrum tear in his left hip at the end of September. That came with an eight-month recovery timetable that'll sideline him into May. He'll presumably head to Triple-A Toledo at that point and look to pitch his way onto the MLB roster. Darnell is a native of Northville, Michigan, who played collegiately in the state at Division III Adrian College. He went undrafted and pitched in the independent ranks before getting a professional look with the Rockies."
Dugan Darnell signed a minor-league contract with the Detroit Tigers and will receive a non-roster invitation to major-league camp. He would earn slightly more than the $780,000 league minimum if added to the big-league roster. Darnell underwent surgery to repair a left hip labrum tear in late September and faces an eight-month recovery that should sideline him into May. He is expected to join Triple-A Toledo upon return and attempt to earn a major-league spot. Darnell went undrafted from Division III Adrian College, worked through independent ball, posted a 3.74 ERA across 200 minor-league appearances, and made a brief MLB appearance with Colorado.
