Detroit Tigers fans can look forward to seeing some of their prospects make their big league debut this month. Here are three that will make an impact.

The Detroit Tigers dropped to 55-83 with Monday’s loss to the White Sox. That brings their winning percentage to .399 on the year. It’s pretty obvious this team is not contending for anything this season – which can make it hard for fans to stay engaged.

However, soon the Detroit Tigers will take advantage of September’s roster expansion rules and will bring up talented prospects to give them their first taste of the majors. With Triple-A Toledo clinching a playoff berth, the team may be waiting that out before making moves.

Once they do, there will be plenty of intrigue for the last month of the season.

Here are three players who are likely to be recalled who Tigers fans should be watching closely. These players will be auditioning for permanent roles on next year’s squad, and their performance this month could go a long way toward helping make that a reality.
