Tigers Prospect Josue Briceno Undergoes Wrist Surgery

One of Detroit's hottest young prospects is going to be on the shelf for a while. The current Tigers farmhand, who is currently ranked as the fourth-best prospect in the Detroit system, had surgery this week to repair a tendon in his wrist. Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press is reporting this, and he says there is currently no timetable for his return. Josue broke out in the 2024 Arizona fall league, where he became the first player in the 32-year history of that league to win the triple crown. He had a tremendous year in the minors a year ago, putting up an .883 OPS last season across two leagues as a catcher, first baseman, and designated hitter. He was expected to be called up to Detroit at some point this year during his age-21 season.
