Sammons allowed five runs on four hits across 7.1 innings of relief in Monday's 8-4 loss to the Guardians. He walked one and struck out five.

With Jack Flaherty scratched from his Monday start as the Tigers look to trade him before Tuesday's deadline, the team turned to Beau Brieske as the opener instead, with Sammons used in a bulk role. The 29-year-old found some success in his MLB debut, though he was ultimately done in by three home runs, including a three-run shot by Bo Naylor. While it's a nice moment for Sammons, he's unlikely to have much fantasy impact as an unheralded rookie in Detroit's bullpen.
