Red Sox's Christin Stewart: Signs minors deal with Boston
Stewart joined the Red Sox as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Clears waivers
Stewart cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Tigers' alternate training site Tuesday.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: DFA'd by Detroit
The Tigers designated Stewart for assignment Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
The 27-year-old outfielder had already missed out on the Opening Day roster after being optioned to minor-league camp two weeks earlier, but the Tigers elected to remove him from the 40-man roster entirely Thursday to clear a spot for long reliever Derek Holland. A former top prospect for Detroit, Stewart struggled to find success over his various stints in the majors across the past three seasons, posting a .676 OPS over 587 career plate appearances.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Optioned to Triple-A
Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
It was reported before the start of spring training that Stewart would have to compete for a roster spot, and he ultimately did not do enough to break camp with the big club. Stewart will be the top option -- or at least among the top options -- should the Tigers need to bring up an outfielder from the minor-league ranks.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Will compete for roster spot
Stewart will be competing for a bench spot during spring training after the Tigers added to their outfield depth during the offseason, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes return and look like outfield starters, and the team added Robbie Grossman and Nomar Mazara in free agency. Akil Baddoo also came over in the Rule 5 draft, creating a bit of a logjam. Stewart's prospect luster has faded over the past few seasons as he's struggled to hit consistently at the MLB level, so he'll need a strong spring training to have any chance at sticking in the majors.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Sent to alternate training site
Stewart was optioned to the alternate training site after Tuesday's win over the Brewers, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Stewart started in left field Tuesday and went 0-for-2 with a run and a walk, extending his hitless streak to five games. The 26-year-old will head to the alternate site with a .171/.233/.317 slash line in 33 games this season.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Out of Tuesday's lineup
Stewart is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.
Stewart homered in Monday's game but retreats to the bench Tuesday, with the Tigers deploying Victor Reyes, JaCoby Jones and Cameron Maybin in the outfield from left to right. It'll be Stewart's fourth time out of the starting lineup over the last seven games, and his rough .158/.226/.298 slash line isn't helping his case for more playing time.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Homers in loss
Stewart went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 9-3 loss to the Cubs.
Stewart went deep against Alec Mills in the seventh inning for his second home run of the season. The 26-year-old outfielder has been a disappointment so far with just the two long balls and a .524 OPS through 21 games, and he's started to lose playing time recently as a result. Perhaps the home run will help get him going.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Out against right-hander
Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The lefty-hitting Stewart typically heads to the bench against southpaw starters, but he'll take a seat Sunday with right-hander Carlos Carrasco on the mound for Cleveland. Stewart's absence from the lineup could foreshadow a potential demotion, as the 26-year-old has struggled mightily to get going this season. Jorge Bonifacio will draw the start in the outfield over Stewart, who is slashing .151/.224/.245 with a 32.8 percent strikeout rate in 58 plate appearances.

Tigers' Christin Stewart: Sitting Friday
Stewart is not in the lineup for Friday's game against Cleveland.
Stewart's playing time had already been dwindling, as he'd started just two of the last five games heading into Friday's contest. The return of Cameron Maybin (quadriceps) will likely cut into it further. Maybin starts in right field Friday, with Victor Reyes starting in left.

Stewart went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's win over the Royals.
Stewart's first home run of the season was a significant one, as it put the Tigers ahead 4-3 in the third inning, which ended up being the final score of the game. The 26-year-old came into the game 0-for-7 with six strikeouts to begin the season, so the long ball was definitely a welcome sight.
