Tigers Promote Infield Prospect John Peck from Triple-A Toledo

The Detroit Tigers have announced the promotion of infield prospect John Peck from Triple-A Toledo. This move requires the team to adjust both their 26-man and 40-man rosters to officially include Peck.

At 24 years old, Peck was selected by the Tigers in the seventh round of the 2023 draft from Pepperdine. He has demonstrated versatility as a defensive shortstop and has also played second and third base. In 2026, he has performed well at the plate, hitting .500 with a home run in his first five games at Triple-A, contributing to an overall season batting line of .286/.336/.504 across 69 games.

Peck is ranked 20th among Tigers prospects by MLB.com and has shown strong defensive skills and the ability to make hard contact. However, he has a tendency to strike out, with a contact rate below the major league average. The Tigers had planned to add him to the 40-man roster this offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft, and he may be joined by fellow prospect Max Anderson as rosters expand.
