What happened: The Detroit Tigers claimed outfielder James Outman off waivers from the Minnesota Twins, per MLB Trade Rumors. The move adds another left-handed-hitting outfield option to Detroit's roster mix.

Why it matters: At 29-40, the Tigers are working the margins of their roster and evaluating depth pieces. A waiver claim is a low-cost way to take a look at an outfielder without surrendering anything in return, which fits a club sorting out its outfield picture.

What to watch: Watch whether Outman is added to the active roster or optioned for depth, and what corresponding move Detroit makes to open a 40-man roster spot.
