All three were pretty legitimate, too, though the third one should have been played better. Baddoo had just one triple in 64 games this season prior to last night. In case you’re curious, there have been four three-triple games in the majors since 2000, with Rafael Furcal (2002), Denard Span (2010), Yasiel Puig (2014) and Xavier Edwards (2024) pulling off the feat.

Baddoo was already back in the minors when the Tigers removed him from the 40-man roster last week. He can choose to become a free agent, but it’s unclear if there are any better options out there for him after he went unclaimed. The 26-year-old Baddoo went 2-for-17 in eight major league games last months. He’s hit .248/.340/.436 in 153 plate appearances for Toledo this season.

The Tigers needed to clear a spot on their 40-man roster to promote Jahmai Jones from Triple-A Toledo on Friday and unfortunately Baddoo was the odd-man out. Still just 26-years-old, there’s a good chance that another team could be willing to take a chance on him on waivers. Stay tuned.

Baddoo heads back to the minors to make room for Casey Mize to come off the injured list for Saturday’s start against the Guardians. The 26-year-old outfielder has struggled to carve out a role at the highest level in recent years.
