Tyler Owens will get a shot at the bullpen now, although the leash is presumably going to be short. The right-hander has a good riding fastball in the 95-96 mph range, but his slider has continued to be too hittable even at the Triple-A level, and he hasn’t consistently commanded his splitter at all.

For probably many reasons, it did not work out for the Tigers and reliever John Brebbia. He was designated for assignment before the game Sunday.

Tigers right-hander John Brebbia was designated for assignment and right-hander Tyler Owens was recalled from Triple-A Toledo.
