After a busy trade deadline that saw them move on from multiple players, the Detroit Tigers have added to their pitching depth.
According to MLB.com, the Tigers have signed pitcher Austin Gomber to a minor league contract. This comes after Gomber was released from his minor league contract by the Atlanta Braves earlier this week.

Gomber has not pitched at the major league level yet this season. Instead, he has spent all of this season so far in Triple-A, where he has posted a 2-9 record, a 6.01 ERA, and 63 strikeouts in 22 appearances. Overall, it has been a tough year for the 32-year-old lefty so far, but he will now be looking to heat back up after landing this minor league deal with the Tigers.

Gomber will now provide the Tigers' depth with another pitcher who has a good amount of major league experience. The 6-foot-5 lefty has appeared in 168 games over seven seasons split between the St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies, where he has a 35-47 record, a 5.31 ERA, and 539 strikeouts. He last appeared at the major league level in 2025 with the Rockies, posting a 0-7 record, a 7.49 ERA, and 34 strikeouts in 12 starts.
It will now be interesting to see if Gomber can impress in Triple-A and earn a call-up to the Tigers' major league roster before the season is over from here.
