TOLEDO, Ohio (WXYZ) \u2014 The Tigers are calling up top prospect Max Clark, who will join the big league club for the nine-game west coast road trip, according to Emily Waldon with Baseball America and Mark Feinsand with MLB.com.<\/p>\n
Clark, an outfielder, was drafted third overall by the Tigers in 2023<\/a>, joining the organization straight out of high school in Franklin, Indiana. MLB.com rates him as the 13th-best prospect in all of baseball<\/a>.<\/p>\n Clark played with the Tigers in spring training earlier this year before being assigned to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. Playing center field in Toledo, Clark has amassed 100 hits over 362 plate appearances, racking up a .276 batting average, an on-base percentage of .368 and a slugging percentage of .434, good for an OPS (on base + slugging) of .802. Clark leads the Mud Hens in runs scored (65) and stolen bases (21).<\/p>\n Clark is not on the Tigers 40-man roster, meaning the Tigers will have to make a corresponding move to make space for him. <\/p>\n As of Thursday, July 30, the Tigers have a 51-58 record, placing them 4.5 games back of the American League Central division lead, and 6 games out of the Wild Card. The Tigers are off today before playing a trio of three games series against the Athletics, the Seattle Mariners and the San Francisco Giants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TOLEDO, Ohio (WXYZ) \u2014 The Tigers are calling up top prospect Max Clark, who will join the big…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":765452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[14040,5,147,13485,53,2583,19587,94654,94653,94655,94656,4,594,63362,14041],"class_list":["post-765451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-detroit-tigers","tag-7-action-news-sports","tag-baseball","tag-detroit","tag-detroit-sports","tag-detroit-tigers","tag-detroittigers","tag-max-clark","tag-max-clark-call-up","tag-max-clark-mud-hens","tag-max-clark-stats","tag-max-clark-tigers","tag-mlb","tag-tigers","tag-tigers-news","tag-wxyz-sports"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117009316815994691","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/765451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=765451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/765451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/765452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=765451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=765451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=765451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
