The move is dramatic for its potential influence on Detroit's big-league roster as early as Opening Day next season. Jung's transition to third makes possible in March for hot-hitting kid-infielder Colt Keith to become manager AJ Hinch's choice at second base.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Eduardo Rodriguez threw seven scoreless innings to end Detroit's two-game losing streak, and the Tigers beat the last-placed Athletics 2-0 in Oakland's last home game on Sunday. Spencer Torkelson had two hits and drove in the only runs in the game with a two-run single in the third, helping Detroit finish 6-4 on its final road trip of the season. “We weren't perfect today offensively, but when you have Eduardo going and you have a game like today where he's in charge, it's a high likelihood you're going to win,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said.

Included was a group in the familiar green “Sell” T-shirts beating their drums and getting high-fives from security guards while chanting “Sell The Team!” following a 2-0 loss to the Detroit Tigers Sunday at the Coliseum. One more loss on their six-game road trip to close out the season and it will be the most in their 55 years in Oakland. The 55 home losses are the most since the A's came to Oakland in 1968 and equals the franchise record set in 1956 and 1964 in Kansas City.

Carson Fulmer (no relation) was drafted eighth overall in 2015 by the Chicago White Sox after a standout career at Vanderbilt University.

A nice bottle of Northern California wine packed into his suitcase, Miguel Cabrera will wave goodbye to San Francisco Bay Area baseball fans when his Detroit Tigers visit the Oakland Athletics for the finale of a four-game series on Sunday. Cabrera, who has announced this will be the last season of a brilliant 21-year career, served as the Tigers' designated hitter in the first two games of the series, going 1-for-7. When the 40-year-old formally retires at the end of Detroit's regular-season finale at home next Sunday, he will do so with an assortment of Hall of Fame-worthy numbers.

Joe Boyle had five strikeouts in six innings for his first career win, Esteury Ruiz hit a two-run home run, and the Oakland Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1 on Saturday. A fifth-round draft pick by Cincinnati in 2020 who was acquired from the Reds at the trade deadline, Boyle (1-0) was mostly crisp in his second start in the majors. The rookie allowed five hits, pitched around traffic in each of the first six innings and gave up an unearned run in the third, the only runner Boyle allowed past second base. “Joe was outstanding, just pounding the zone,” A's manager Mark Kotsay said.
