The Tigers acquired Infante on Monday night in a trade with the Miami Marlins that included right-handed starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez in exchange for top prospects Jacob Turner, Rob Brantly and Brian Flynn.
Worth has played in 35 games with the Tigers in 2012 and recorded a .212 batting average with three RBI in 79 plate appearances.
