A top Tigers hitting prospect is one step closer to Detroit.
Slugger Josue Briceño has been promoted to Triple-A Toledo from Double-A Erie, the Mud Hens announced before their game Tuesday night.
Briceño, 21, the No. 4 prospect in the Tigers' system according to MLB Pipeline, had a 1.054 OPS with Erie this season in 17 games, with eight home runs and 19 RBIs in 76 plate appearances after missing the first few months of the regular season with a wrist injury.
Briceño played for Erie last season, too, after stops in High-A West Michigan and Low-A Lakeland.
He burst onto prospect experts' radars at the 2024 Arizona Fall League, where he won the league's Triple Crown and was named the circuit's Most Valuable Player. A 6-foot-4, 200-pound, left-handed hitter, Briceño plays catcher, first base and designated hitter.
