DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Tigers have optioned reliever Robbie Weinhardt to Triple-A Toledo and recalled right-hander Alfredo Figaro from their top farm club.
Weinhardt was 1-1 with a 9.17 ERA in 18 appearances this season — his first in the majors. On Thursday, he allowed three runs while only getting one out in an 11-5 loss to the New York Yankees.
Figaro made one appearance with the Tigers earlier this season. He recorded two outs against the Yankees on May 12, and was charged with two runs and three hits.
As a starter with the Mud Hens, Figaro was 10-6 with a 4.14 ERA in 23 games.
The Tigers made the moves before Friday night’s game against Cleveland.
