Paul DeJong: Breaking News

Undergoing hamstring surgery

DeJong is set to undergo season-ending hamstring surgery, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. DeJong was placed on the full-season injured list with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday with what was described as a leg injury. It is now understood to be a hamstring issue, and the 32-year-old will now set his sights on being ready to go for spring training in 2027.

Goes on full-season IL at Triple-A

DeJong has been placed on the full-season injured list at Triple-A Toledo with a leg injury, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. DeJong was injured May 12 just a week after signing a minor-league deal with the Tigers. The club has not revealed the exact nature of the veteran infielder's injury, but whatever it is was enough to knock him out for the rest of the season. DeJong will be a free agent this winter.

Latches on with Tigers

The Tigers signed DeJong to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. DeJong opted out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees last week after slashing .203/.361/.516 with six home runs and a 16:18 BB:K in 23 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. With Javier Baez (ankle) on the injured list and Gleyber Torres (side) also banged up, DeJong could get a look with the big club sooner rather than later.
