  Stewart cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Tigers' alternate training site Tuesday. Stewart owns a career .225/.300/.376 slash line in 157 games at the highest level. Once a well-regarded power-hitting prospect, he's now been relegated to organizational depth.

• Tigers' Christin Stewart: DFA'd by Detroit

  04/01/2021 • By RotoWire

  The Tigers designated Stewart for assignment Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. The 27-year-old outfielder had already missed out on the Opening Day roster after being optioned to minor-league camp two weeks earlier, but the Tigers elected to remove him from the 40-man roster entirely Thursday to clear a spot for long reliever Derek Holland. A former top prospect for Detroit, Stewart struggled to find success over his various stints in the majors across the past three seasons, posting a .676 OPS over 587 career plate appearances.

• Tigers' Christin Stewart: Optioned to Triple-A

  03/16/2021 • By RotoWire

  Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. It was reported before the start of spring training that Stewart would have to compete for a roster spot, and he ultimately did not do enough to break camp with the big club.

• Tigers' Christin Stewart: Will compete for roster spot

  02/17/2021 • By RotoWire

  Stewart will be competing for a bench spot during spring training after the Tigers added to their outfield depth during the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes return and look like outfield starters, and the team added Robbie Grossman and Nomar Mazara in free agency. Akil Baddoo also came over in the Rule 5 draft, creating a bit of a logjam. Stewart's prospect luster has faded over the past few seasons as he's struggled to hit consistently at the MLB level, so he'll need a strong spring training to have any chance at sticking in the majors.
