The Tigers received left-handed pitcher Kris Anglin in return. This year’s trade deadline is 6 p.m. Tuesday. HOW IT ALL
With the Twins presently desperate to cling to their tenuous hold on the first-place position in the AL Central, and a pretty dismal pitching staff to keep them there, they turned to Aaron Sanchez to start off the series against the Tigers.

Minneapolis — Thank goodness Tarik Skubal and Tyler Alexander are still here, otherwise Matt Manning might’ve thought he walked into the wrong clubhouse Monday. “I know, right?” he said. “I feel like I’m debuting all over again.” Manning, who will make just his third start of season here Tuesday, hasn’t been on a big-league mound
Minneapolis — The Tigers needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster to reinstate reliever Andrew Chafin off the restricted list.

The Detroit Tigers signed left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin last March to be a key contributor to their bullpen for the next two seasons.

Right-hander Derek Law had an … ummm … inauspicious Detroit Tigers debut Saturday in Toronto. Over a 13-pitch span in the sixth inning, he (in order) hit a batter, committed an error, threw a wild pitch and gave up a homer, turning a 3-1 Tigers lead into a 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays and making franchise
