Andre Lipcius had spent his entire professional career in the Detroit Tigers organization, but he just got shipped to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for cash.

The Detroit Tigers have traded infielder Andre Lipcius to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for cash considerations, the team announced Monday afternoon.

Detroit did not have to make any additional moves to complete the deal, but Los Angeles needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster in order to add Lipcius. To do so, the Dodgers placed left-handed pitcher Clayton Kershaw on the 60-day injured list as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery.

The Tigers designated Lipcius for assignment on Feb. 29 when they claimed infielder Buddy Kennedy off waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals.

In five Grapefruit League games at Spring Training, Lipcius was 1-for-8 with a double, a walk, an RBI and five strikeouts.

Detroit selected Lipcius in the third round of the 2019 MLB Draft. He had just strung together a decorated college career with Tennessee, capping things off with a .985 OPS as a junior.

Lipcius joined the Tigers for their major league Spring Training camp the following spring, and he debuted as the No. 24 prospect in their farm system later that year.
