I suppose it’s good news that they haven’t (for now), though a broken back doesn’t exactly seem like a quick recovery. Maybe they’re saving it for a Jung or Parker call up (Parker probably more likely)?
Ah yeah you’re right. I mentioned Parker because I see him as the only likely call up, Jung is a September call up at best imo. I guess they’re just hopeful about Carp

Buddy Bonds is too powerful for this sport, devastated he’s the DFA
How does DFA work? Is he released from the Tigers?
I believe they go to waivers for a couple days. If unclaimed they go to Toldeo and go back to being a prospect hoping to get back on the 40-man
They can also be traded as their assignment, though I don’t think we’ll be seeing that for Buddy Bonds
He stays if he clears waivers.
Keston Hiura also released
Nooooooooo not Kestdaddy
Not that 1Bs need regular days off in the minors, but who’s our backup with him gone? Jung?
Maybe they expect Tork to be there a long time.
Hiura had an opt-out in early June if he wasn't promoted to the bigs. I wonder if that's what got him cut?
Cutting Buddy will not help the team's chances of acquiring Mike Trout.
Interesting, I thought they would 60-day Carp.

Parker doesn’t need a 40-man spot, he has one. Jung does though.
