What happened: The Detroit Tigers selected shortstop Dominic Pellegrin with the 125th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Pellegrin joins a Tigers draft class that also includes first-round pick Cameron Flukey.

Why it matters: The selection adds to Detroit's farm system as the Tigers enter the weekend on a six-game win streak at 44-50. Adding a shortstop prospect gives the organization additional infield depth heading into the back half of the draft.

By the numbers: Pellegrin was Detroit's fourth-round selection at No. 22 and Evan Dempsey at No. 69.

What to watch: Pellegrin is expected to sign with Detroit and begin his professional career in the Tigers' farm system.
