The Detroit Tigers have come to agreement with right-handed starting pitcher Tyson Ross on a one-year deal worth $5.75 million, as first reported by The Athletic.
Ross, 31, went 8-9 with a 4.15 ERA last season for the Padres and Cardinals, who picked him up off waivers in August.
The key to last season for Ross was being able to throw 149 2/3 innings, after shoulder injuries limited him to 5 1/3 innings in 2016 and 49 in 2017.
Ross, who has never had a season with a win-loss record above .500, has a career mark of 43-65 with a 3.95 ERA over nine seasons.
His best season came in 2014, when he was an All-Star for San Diego and finished 13-14 with a 2.81 ERA and 195 strikeouts in 195 2/3 innings.
Ross is the second veteran starter added by the Tigers on a one-year deal. Lefty Matt Moore recently signed a $2.5 million contract with incentives.
