Tigers Acquire Codi Heuer From Rangers

By Anthony Franco | July 31, 2025 at 1:28pm CDT

The Rangers announced they’ve traded reliever Codi Heuer to Detroit for cash. This opens a 40-man roster spot for Texas, who will likely acquire some kind of relief help in the coming hours. Detroit designated lefty Dietrich Enns for assignment and optioned Heuer to Triple-A Toledo.

Heuer signed an offseason minor league deal with Texas. The Rangers called him up on June 1 but optioned him back to Triple-A a couple days later. He made one appearance, working an inning and a third while giving up a home run. That was the 6’5″ righty’s first major league action in four years. Heuer has had a nice season in the upper minors, working to a 3.43 ERA with a 31% strikeout rate over 35 appearances.

Texas probably viewed the 29-year-old Heuer as a DFA candidate if they’re able to make a more notable bullpen move today. Rather than wait until finalizing an acquisition, they preemptively cleared a spot while picking up a bit of cash. Detroit jumps the waiver order to get a pitcher with options who is having a good Triple-A season. Heuer sits around 96 MPH with his fastball and has a mid-80s slider. He has a history of elbow injuries, including 2022 Tommy John surgery and a ’23 fracture that required another operation.

Enns was called up last month. The 34-year-old southpaw has logged 17 2/3 innings with a 5.60 ERA across seven outings. He has posted excellent numbers with Toledo, turning in a 2.89 ERA with a 26.7% strikeout rate over 14 starts. He’ll likely end up on waivers in the next few days.

    Have the Tigers been the most disappointing contender at this year’s deadline? Still time but gotta hurry.

        Gotta go Sox here. At least Yankees have added a few pieces and I saw reports of them in on Bednar and Alcantara.

        Meanwhile the Sox just got Matz who has been bad over the last month. Yikes.

      What were you hoping for them to get?

      Suarez for 3B would have been a nice get but they have addressed the bullpen and its not like there is an endless supply of ace caliber starters available

      Uh….the Rangers have one of highest payroll. The Tigers at least have highest in their division and have added millions in payroll for this year in each of their deadline deals thus far.

      So…uh what does this have to do with anything

      Enns had one good start and has been hit every other outing, even when he was sent to aaa in between.

      And is 34 yo

      No reason to be upset about losing a career 4-a pitcher

        Not upset, just don’t see him as an upgrade. Both are what they are, mop up guys. Hopefully the Tigers add a better back end bullpen pitchers. Doesn’t look like it though.

      Marvin Bernard? He can’t hit lefties and the Rangers already have plenty enough OF/DH types who can’t hit LHP they don’t need to be adding any more, let alone one who’s 54 years old.

      The Rangers really need to be adding a lefty-masher to form a viable platoon with Evan Carter and Joc Pederson so they need to be trading not for singles-hitting senior citizens who retired a quarter of a century ago but rather for someone like Ramon Laureano or at least a Dane Meyers

    From afar, letting Enns go for Heuer does not seem to improve the Tigers’ roster. Harris does not seem to on a roll at all…

    I once drafted this man proactively in a fantasy league, thinking he was going to be the next Nick Andersony guy to come out of nowhere and flatout dominate. In my defense he had like a 15-1 k/bb in like 8 innings that Spring. Now watch him get the final out in the World Series.
