Detroit Tigers right-handed reliever Will Vest has a 2.57 ERA with nine walks and 37 strikeouts across 35 innings in 32 games, racking up 12 saves.

The Red Sox need pitching and have options to fill Wilyer Abreu’s spot. The 25-year-old plays terrific defense, consistently hits the ball hard and is a very productive player (he does battle strikeouts and chase). He already has 13 homers this year.

The Tigers’ offense, for the first six innings, was limited to a pair of solo home runs off Reds lefty starter Wade Miley. Jahmai Jones, who came in 6 for 11 in his first seven games, launched a 2-1 cutter over the bullpen in left.
