Mercado signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Mercado has yet to appear in the majors this season, though he slashed .226/.307/.425 with 11 homers and 42 RBI across 307 plate appearances with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate before being released at the beginning of August. He'll presumably report to Triple-A Toledo, where he'll serve as organizational depth in the outfield.
