Tigers Acquire Infielder Tsung-Che Cheng From Red Sox

The Detroit Tigers acquired 25-year-old infielder Tsung-Che Cheng from the Boston Red Sox for cash considerations, clearing a 40-man roster spot for Boston. A left-handed hitter with major league experience, Cheng batted in Triple-A during 2026 with a 23.8% strikeout rate and a 13.5% walk rate. Out of options, Cheng provides shortstop depth for Detroit alongside former Chinese Taipei teammate Hao-Yu Lee as the Tigers evaluate their infield roster options.
