The Detroit Tigers have made several roster changes, including designating infielder Buddy Kennedy for assignment and releasing first baseman Keston Hiura. Outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy's contract was selected, and Spencer Torkelson was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to take over as the regular first baseman.

Keston Hiura has been reassigned to the minor league camp by the Detroit Tigers, with plans to have him serve as the primary first baseman for Triple-A Toledo. However, his minor league deal includes an upward mobility clause, allowing other teams to claim him on specific dates. If claimed, the Tigers must either call him up or trade him. With limited playing time in Detroit, other clubs have opportunities to take a chance on him, especially considering his power hitting and potential platooning against right-handed pitchers.
The Detroit Tigers have signed Keston Hiura to a minor-league contract with an invitation to MLB spring training, offering him a chance to earn $2 million if he makes the majors with additional bonuses.

With a track record of hitting for power in the majors and minors, Hiura played 284 games with the Milwaukee Brewers from 2019-22, hitting .238 with 50 home runs. This low-risk deal provides the Tigers with a potential power hitter and depth at first base.

Outfielder Tyrone Taylor opens on the 10-day IL. The Brewers designated former prospect Keston Hiura for assignment when they couldn't work out a trade, and he will return to Class AAA Nashville.
Keston Hiura, the infielder and former top prospect for the Milwaukee Brewers, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Nashville after the team couldn't find a trade fit for him. Hiura had to be traded or designated for assignment because he is out of minor-league options. Despite his strikeout troubles and lack of a true defensive home, Hiura had a 115 wRC+ last year and is only four years removed from being a top-20 prospect in baseball. Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Hiura could still be a big part of the team coming back if he earns a spot on the big-league club once again.

With just two days until Opening Day, the Cleveland Guardians may name a new fifth starter today, with left-hander Konnor Pilkington being the most logical option.

The Milwaukee Brewers signed Luke Voit to a one-year major league contract with an option for 2024, two days after he opted out of his minor league contract with the team. Infielder Keston Hiura was designated for assignment to make room for Voit. Voit hit 22 home runs with 69 RBIs last season for the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals, while Hiura hit 19 home runs with a .938 OPS in 84 games as a rookie in 2019 but has struggled to match that production over the last three seasons.
The Milwaukee Brewers made several roster moves, including signing Luke Voit to a one-year deal, designating Keston Hiura for assignment, and optioning Abraham Toro and Sal Frelick to the minors. Voit had a solid spring training and has a chance to platoon with Tellez at first base. Toro and Frelick will start the season at AAA Nashville.

The Brewers will take the next few days to evaluate their options with Hiura, and it seems likely another team will have some interest in a change of scenery trade.
The Milwaukee Brewers have informed Keston Hiura and Tyler Naquin that they will not make the Opening Day roster. Hiura, a former first-round draft pick, is out of Minor League options, so the Brewers will try to find him a Major League opportunity in the coming days. If they are unsuccessful, then the club would have to put Hiura on waivers. Naquin has the right to opt out of his deal, but as of Friday he remained in camp and started the Brewers’ other split-squad game against the Rockies.
