The Tigers relievers have an ERA of 4.96 and a 1.47 WHIP. This bull pen is worse than the ones that DD put out there. Pathetic

Detroit's relief corps now ranks last in the American League with a 4.96 ERA and a .284 batting average against.

Since May 31, Mark Lowe has allowed 12 earned runs on 14 hits in 3 2/3 innings. Yes, that's no typo. His ERA is 10.71 and WHIP 2.05.

Detroit's offense ranks fifth in the American League in total runs scored, third in batting average (.272) and second in on-base percentage (.330).

Tigers recalled RHP Bruce Rondon from Triple-A Toledo.
Rondon has spent all of this season at Toledo, posting a 3.74 ERA and 30/16 K/BB ratio over 21 2/3 innings. He'll be used in low-leverage situations for now.

Tigers recalled LHP Kyle Ryan from Triple-A Toledo.
Ryan holds a 3.10 ERA over 21 relief appearances with the big club this season. He'll work the middle innings.

I like the addition of Rondon and bringing back Ryan.

Curious what they do with the fifth starter role now.

16 walks in 21 innings. That's the best we got down there? Not expecting much with Rondon..
