Brewers' Renato Nunez: Signs minors deal with Milwaukee
Renato Nunez agreed to a minor-league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.Nunez owns a respectable 101 wRC+ in 307 major-league games, the product of a .245/.308/.452 slash line. He could potentially be useful as a bench bat for the Brewers down the stretch, but he'll head to Triple-A Nashville for now.

Renato Nunez: Let go by Detroit
Renato Nunez was released by the Tigers on Friday.Nunez has posted solid numbers across 74 Triple-A games this season, but his success at the plate did not transfer to the big-leagues, as he slashed .189/.218/.472 across 55 plate appearances with the Tigers. The 27-year-old is still just one year removed from hitting .256/.324/.492 with 12 homers during the abbreviated 2020 season, so he should have a decent chance of landing a minor-league deal with another club.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Outrighted to Triple-A
Renato Nunez cleared waivers Monday and was outrighted to Triple-A Toledo.Nunez hit a solidly above-average .256/.324/.492 for the Orioles last season but has only gotten into 14 games for the Detroit Tigers this year and has struggled to a .189/.218/.472 line in those limited opportunities. Apparently other teams aren't buying into his success last year, either, so he'll remain with the Tigers as organizational depth.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Designated for assignment
Renato Nunez was designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers on Saturday.Nunez had seen consistent playing time at first base recently, and he hit .231 with two home runs, a double, four RBI, two runs and eight strikeouts across his last seven games. However, he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster after Derek Hill (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday. Jonathan Schoop will likely serve as the primary first baseman, while Willi Castro and Harold Castro are in line for increased playing time at the keystone.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Gets breather Thursday
Renato Nunez is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.Nunez has started each of the Detroit Tigers' last six games at either first base or designated hitter, going 5-for-22 with two home runs and four RBI. Until the Tigers return Niko Goodrum (groin) from the injured list, Nunez should be fairly secure in a near-everyday role, though he'll get a breather Thursday in the series finale with Los Angeles.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Starting again Sunday
Renato Nunez is starting at first base and batting fifth in Sunday's game against Cleveland.After having his contract selected by the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday, Nunez will now be making his fourth straight start. He's performed well so far, going 4-for-12 with two home runs across the first three games. With Niko Goodrum (groin) and Isaac Paredes (hip) both out, Detroit has been using Jonathan Schoop regularly at second base lately, which has opened up time at first. Nunez has had some success at the MLB level, including popping 31 home runs for the Orioles in 2019, so he could offer some fantasy production while he's seeing regular starts.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Goes deep again Friday
Renato Nunez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's loss to Cleveland.Nunez has now appeared in two games since rejoining the Detroit Tigers after having his contract selected by the team Wednesday, and he's homered in both of them. The 27-year-old did hit 31 long balls in his last full season back in 2019, so he may be able to provide Detroit and fantasy managers some power production while he's earning playing time.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Contract selected by Tigers
Renato Nunez's contract was selected by the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.Nunez hasn't appeared in the majors since mid-April, and he's slashed .291/.383/.585 with 20 homers, 64 RBI and 60 runs at Triple-A Toledo this season. The 27-year-old will provide depth after Akil Baddoo (concussion) and Derek Hill (ribs) were placed on the injured list.

Tigers' Renato Nunez: Clears waivers
Renato Nunez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Detroit's alternate training site Monday.Nunez failed to break camp in the big leagues despite posting an .816 OPS last year, though he was called up in mid-April and played seven games. Judging by his .148/.207/.444 line in those games, the Detroit Tigers were probably right not to include him on their Opening Day roster, and it looks as though the rest of the league agrees.
