Law agreed with the Tigers on a minor-league contract Saturday, Jared Purcell of MLive.com reports.

Law spent the 2021 campaign in the Twins organization, appearing in nine games at the big-league level before finishing the season at Triple-A St. Paul and being outrighted off the 40-man roster in September. He then elected free agency in the offseason, missing all of spring training before signing with Detroit. Law will stick around at the Tigers' extended spring training facility in Florida to complete his buildup program before likely joining the team's Triple-A affiliate in Toledo later this month. The 31-year-old right-hander has covered 181.1 innings over parts of five seasons in the majors, accruing a 4.22 ERA and 1.44 WHIP.

Wilson pitched two perfect innings against the Giants on Wednesday, striking out five of the six batters he faced.

Sean Manaea was impressive in his six frames as a starter in the contest, and Wilson came on to relieve him in the seventh with San Francisco holding a one-run lead. Though the Padres were unable to muster a late-inning comeback, Wilson held the Giants at bay with two perfect frames during which he threw 21 of 26 pitches for strikes and fanned the final five batters to stand in against him. The impressive outing included nine swinging strikes and first-pitch strikes to five of the six hitters he faced. Wilson appears to be climbing up the bullpen pecking order thanks to a strong start to the campaign. Thus far he has racked up two wins, posted a 7:2 K:BB and allowed just one run over four innings.

Hendriks picked up the save Wednesday against the Mariners after giving up one run on two hits during the ninth inning. He struck out two and didn't record a walk.

For the second straight night, Hendricks came on with a multiple-run lead in the ninth and was able to lock down the victory despite allowing a run. The 33-year-old is off to a rocky start, as he's allowed multiple hits and given up at least one run in each of his first three outings, including a blown save during an Opening Day loss to the Tigers. Regardless, Hendriks still has plenty of job security after recording 38 saves and a 2.54 ERA for the White Sox last year, especially with Craig Kimbrel already shipped off to the Dodgers.

Romano gave up one hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to collect his fourth save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Yankees.

Romano has now saved all four of Toronto's wins so far and appears set to join the ranks of elite closers after posting a 2.14 ERA with 23 holds last year. The 28-year-old has yet to walk a batter through four innings of work and has racked up four strikeouts.

Morgan (1-0) earned the win Wednesday versus the Reds. He allowed a run on one hit and no walks with four strikeouts in three innings.

Triston McKenzie started the game with four scoreless innings, and Morgan was effective in tandem behind the starter. Morgan's lone mistake was a solo home run he allowed to Reds outfielder Jake Fraley in the fifth inning. Through five innings this season, the right-hander has given up just one run and two hits while striking out five. He's providing quality innings, which positions him well to be a spot starter if the Guardians have an opening in the rotation for any reason; however, Logan Allen and Sam Hentges could also be in contention for fill-in duties.

Lopez (0-1) suffered the loss against Milwaukee on Wednesday, pitching two-thirds of an inning and allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one.

Lopez came into the contest in the ninth inning after Baltimore registered two runs in the bottom of the eighth to tie the score. The right-hander was unable to tame the Brewers' bats, however, giving up a single, double and triple along with a walk to take his first loss. Lopez has recorded the Orioles' only save this season and figures to still be among the team's primary ninth-inning options, but he has been far from dominant with four walks and four hits allowed over 2.1 frames.

Hader earned a save against Baltimore on Wednesday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he walked one and didn't notch any strikeouts.

Hader wasn't as dominant as usual Wednesday, as he threw only six of 12 pitches for strikes and didn't collect any punchouts. Still, the left-hander collected his third save in three chances and didn't allow any hits. Hader has yet to give up a run this season and looks to be on his way to another campaign as one of the game's elite closers.

Feyereisen struck out one and did not allow a baserunner in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics.

Feyereisen recorded the final two outs in the top of the ninth inning, and he struck out Cristian Pache on four pitches -- three of which were swinging strikes. Through 3.1 frames this season, Feyereisen has allowed only two baserunners and has yet to concede a run. It's possible that he'll occasionally see save opportunities, though he has only served a setup role early on.

Trivino earned the save against Tampa Bay on Wednesday by pitching a scoreless ninth inning during which he allowed one hit and one walk.

Trivino wasn't overpowering in the outing, as he threw only 10 of 18 pitches for strikes and didn't pick up any punchouts. He retired the first two hitters he faced but then found himself in trouble after yielding a single and a walk to the following two batters. However, the right-hander was able to escape with the save by getting Wander Franco to foul out to end the game. This was Trivino's third appearance of the season and the first in which he didn't allow any runs. His ability to convert the save Wednesday is a positive, but it doesn't mask the fact that he has looked shaky in the early part of the campaign.

Montero allowed one hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Montero entered the game in the eighth inning with the score tied at one. He allowed a two-out single but was in relative control throughout the appearance. Montero has turned in three scoreless outings to begin the campaign, racking up five strikeouts and no walks while also earning a win and a hold.
