CHICAGO -- Brandon Inge was in the starting lineup for Triple-A Toledo tonight after reporting to the Mud Hens earlier in the day. Inge officially cleared waivers and had his contract outrighted to Toledo today.

Inge started at third base and batted sixth for the Mud Hens.

The Tigers designated Inge for assignment Thursday after making a trade Wednesday with the Kansas City Royals to obtain third baseman Wilson Betemit.

Inge hit .177 with one home run and 17 RBIs for the Tigers this season.
