  • Pirates' Dustin Peterson: Gets minors deal from Pittsburgh

    Peterson signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Peterson spent the 2023 campaign at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies organization, posting an .816 OPS with 19 home runs over 85 games. The 29-year-old hasn't seen any action in the majors since 2019 and is merely a depth addition.

  • Phillies' Dustin Peterson: Re-signs with Phillies

    Peterson re-signed with the Phillies on a minor-league contract Wednesday.

    The Phils acquired Peterson from the Brewers early on last season and now the two sides have agreed to continue the relationship. Peterson only has 49 plate appearances at the major-league level and none since 2019.

  • Phillies' Dustin Peterson: Shipped to Phillies

    The Phillies acquired Peterson from the Brewers on Tuesday for cash considerations and assigned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    With Philadelphia having dealt away Adam Haseley prior to the start of the season and with Odubel Herrera (oblique) and Mickey Moniak (hand) currently residing on the injured list, the addition of Peterson helps restore some organizational outfield depth. Peterson appeared in 17 games at the big-league level with the Tigers in 2019, but since that time, he's played exclusively at Triple-A Nashville. Over 329 plate appearances with the Brewers' top affiliate in 2021, Peterson slashed .271/.347/.416 with nine home runs and 56 RBI.

  • Brewers' Dustin Peterson: Returns from fractured finger

    Peterson (finger) has gone 7-for-21 with an RBI and a run in his six games for Triple-A Nashville since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 13.

    Peterson spent just over five weeks on the IL with a fractured finger on his left hand. The journeyman outfielder is slashing .280/.342/.420 with three home runs and 19 RBI across 111 plate appearances on the season for Nashville.

  • Brewers' Dustin Peterson: Dealing with broken finger

    Peterson was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list with a broken finger on his left hand Friday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Peterson was recently hit by a pitch and will be sidelined after he appeared in 21 games for Triple-A Nashville to begin the year. During that time, he slashed .266/.344/.443 with three home runs, 18 RBI and 18 runs. A timetable for his return isn't yet known.

  • Brewers' Dustin Peterson: Exits after collision

    Peterson exited Saturday's game against the Royals with a sore right hip, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Peterson collided with right fielder Tyrone Taylor while chasing a flyball. He was able to walk off under his own power, so he may have avoided a serious injury.

  • Brewers' Dustin Peterson: Gets MiLB deal from Milwaukee

    Peterson signed a minor-league contract with the Brewers on Wednesday.

    The 26-year-old first baseman/corner outfielder attracted the attention of the Brewers through his performance in the Mexican Winter League, where he's slashed .316/.373/.602 with 11 home runs in 37 games with Monterrey. His contract with the Brewers doesn't include an invitation to big-league spring training, so Peterson will presumably report to Triple-A Nashville when the 2021 campaign begins.

  • Dustin Peterson: Released by Angels

    Peterson was released by the Angels on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    While playing for Triple-A Toledo in 2019, Peterson suffered an elbow injury that sidelined him after July. The 25-year-old appeared in 79 games at the Triple-A level last season, recording a .286/.317/.439 slash line with 11 home runs and 49 RBI.

  • Angels' Dustin Peterson: Catches on with Angels

    Peterson was signed to a minor-league deal by the Angels on Friday, Taylor Blake Ward of Locked on Angels reports.

    Peterson's deal includes an invitation to spring training, and the newcomer is penciled in to make an appearance in the Angels' split-squad contest against Kansas City on Friday. Peterson is likely to serve as an organizational depth for the Halos after hitting .227 in 44 at-bats with the Tigers in 2019.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Listed as bench option

    Peterson (elbow) is listed as an available bench option for the Tigers in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays, Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun reports.

    Peterson has yet to make his spring debut, but his inclusion on the lineup card is an indication that he's moved past the elbow injury that resulted in him being shut down for the remainder of the 2019 season in July. Detroit outrighted Peterson off the 40-man roster during the offseason, so he's slated to open the campaign at Triple-A Toledo.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Outrighted to minors

    Peterson (elbow) was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Peterson didn't appear in any games after July due to an elbow injury, and will now become eligible to be a minor-league free agent after the World Series. In 17 games with the Tigers this season, the 25-year-old hit .227/.277/.318 with six RBI.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Called up by Tigers

    Peterson (elbow) was recalled by the Tigers on Monday.

    Peterson opened the season on the big-league roster but was sent down in late April after hitting just .227/.227/.318 in 17 games. He spent the rest of the season in the minors and did not appear in any games after the end of July due to an elbow injury. It's not clear whether the injury threatens the start of his 2020 campaign.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Dealing with elbow injury

    Peterson had his left elbow wrapped up after Triple-A Toledo's game Wednesday, Brian Buckey of The Toledo Blade reports.

    Peterson suffered the injury during a collision at first base. The specifics of the injury are not yet known, but manager Doug Mientkiewicz said the injury "did not look good."

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Sent to minors

    Peterson was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

    Peterson was in the midst of a five-game hitting streak at the dish, but he'll head down to the minors for the first time this season. He's batting .227 with four doubles, six RBI and a stolen base through 16 games in the big leagues this year.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Sitting again Sunday

    Peterson is not in Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

    It's not clear at this point if Peterson is still a primary option for the Tigers. He started Thursday and Friday but will sit for the second day in a row, this time against righty Reynaldo Lopez. Niko Goodrum shifts to left field while Brandon Dixon starts at first base, hitting sixth.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Heads to bench

    Peterson is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Peterson had started six of the Tigers' last eight games, including the first two contests of the series with Chicago as a replacement for the banged-up Christin Stewart (quadriceps). With Stewart's stay on the injured list set to last through at least next weekend, Peterson should have some runway as the Tigers' main option in left field, but he's done nothing offensively yet to suggest he's worth much attention outside of AL-only leagues.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Replaces Stewart in left field

    Peterson will start in left field and bat sixth Thursday against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Peterson enters the lineup in place of Christin Stewart (quadriceps), who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the day. The Tigers recalled Brandon Dixon from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move, but he's likely to serve merely as bench depth rather than challenging for the everyday role vacated by Stewart. Peterson thus looks like he may be in line for full-time work versus lefties and righties, making him someone to consider picking up in AL-only leagues.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Starting in right

    Peterson is starting in right field and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Twins.

    Regular right fielder Nicholas Castellanos (toe) won't play Saturday or Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports, so Peterson could start both games this weekend. Peterson has recorded only 20 at-bats so far this season, posting a .200/.200/.300 slash line and an RBI.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Gets first start

    Peterson is starting in left field and batting eighth in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

    The Tigers are mixing things up a bit for their third game of the season, and Peterson will step in to make his team debut. The 24-year-old had a solid spring, but he'll likely remain in a reserve role unless the Tigers are hit with some injuries.

  • Tigers' Dustin Peterson: Makes Opening Day roster

    Peterson has earned a spot on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    With JaCoby Jones slated to open the season on the IL, Peterson will break camp with the Tigers in a reserve outfield role. The 24-year-old owns a .325/.386/.450 slash line and 4:5 BB:K through 19 games this spring.
