announced that outfielder Jasson Dominguez was placed on the active roster, serving as their "27th man" for the game against the Detroit Tigers.

This year, Dominguez was rehabbing from the surgery until he got injured again, this time with an oblique strain; he has since returned from that injury and has been playing with the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

Even stranger was the circumstances in which Dominguez was placed on the roster; the 27th man rule is usually in place for doubleheaders.
