DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers added infielder Kody Clemens, the youngest son of seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens, to their 40-man roster. Detroit also added right-hander Angel De Jesus to the roster Friday. Niko Goodrum, who hit .214 in 90 games with the Tigers last season, cleared waivers and elected to be a free agent. The Tigers outrighted right-hander Nivaldo Rodriguez and outfielder Jacob Robson to Triple-A Toledo after they cleared waivers. The 25-year-old Clemens hit .247 with 18 homers and 59 RBI in 97 games for the Mud Hens last season, his first year at Triple-A. Detroit drafted Clemens out of Texas with the opening pick of the third round in 2018. Clemens was a 35th-round selection of Houston out of high school, but opted to go to his father's alma mater to play baseball.
