The Tigers selected Lewicki's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
Detroit will bring Lewicki aboard a day in advance of his scheduled start Monday against the Royals, which will mark his MLB debut. With the Tigers having traded away Justin Verlander to the Astros and Michael Fulmer (elbow) potentially being shut down for the season, Lewicki looks like a decent bet to see additional starts beyond Sunday. However, fantasy owners in most mixed formats will probably want to see how the 25-year-old performs in his first taste of the big leagues before scooping him up off the waiver wire. After opening the season with Double-A Erie, Lewicki earned a promotion to Toledo in August and was quite impressive in his five starts with the affiliate, delivering a 2.10 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB over 30 frames.
