Wells has been released by the Tigers, Chris Iott of MLive.com reports. Wells will probably find another team to play in the minors with, but it's hard to see any club signing a corner outfielder with a .230 career batting average and expecting him to make the majors.

Wells signed a minor league deal with the Tigers on Friday, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports.The last stint Wells had in the majors was with Philadelphia in 2013 where he played a total of 12 games.

Casper Wells has elected free agency. The 28-year-old outfielder had a rough go of it in 2013, slashing just .126/.186/.147 over 102 plate appearances between three different teams.
