Major League Baseball rosters were officially allowed to expand by two players on Monday, a yearly occurrence when September rolls around. The Detroit Tigers, leaders in the AL Central, chose former Alabama closer Chase Lee as one of their selections.

Lee made his MLB debut earlier this season, and has pitched in 32 games. As an optionable reliever, he has been up and down throughout the year. He was sent to Triple-A Toledo on May 8, May 13 and August 1. He is 4-1 with a 4.10 ERA.

The Detroit Free Press reported that Lee may get optioned again following the completion of Monday's game, a 10-8 loss to the New York Mets. The team has not made an official announcement of its next roster move as of this writing, but that will likely come sometime Tuesday.

Here's the Roll Call for Tuesday, September 2, 2025:

Tuesday's Crimson Tide Schedule:

  • No events scheduled.

Monday's Crimson Tide Results:

  • No results.
