The Tigers announced a number of roster moves this morning. Namely, last night’s starter, Michael Pineda<\/strong>who left the game after just three innings, has been placed on the 15-day injured list with tricep tightness, per the team<\/a>. righty Angel De Jesus<\/strong> has been recalled from Triple-A to claim Pineda’s roster spot. right hander Rony Garcia<\/strong> was also reinstated from the injured list, while infielder Zack Short<\/strong> was optioned to Triple-A.<\/p>\n

Pineda’s injury is another in a long line of weapons that have beset the Tigers’ pitching staff this season. Pineda himself has made just 10 starts, posting a 5.27 ERA\/5.81 FIP in 42 2\/3 innings of work.<\/p>\n

Garcia can step right into Pineda’s rotation spot in the short term. The 24-year-old has made seven starts this season with eight relief outings summing to 48 1\/3 innings with a 4.28 ERA\/4.42 FIP. Garcia was a starter for the Tigers throughout June, and it’s likely that he steps back into that role. Tyler Alexander<\/strong> will also step back into the rotation in the short term, per Evan Woodbery of the MLive Media Group (via Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n

De Jesus will move into the bullpen, from which he has made two appearances for Detroit this season. The 25-year-old has a 5.40 ERA across 27 outings in Triple-A totaling 28 1\/3 innings of work. He takes Short’s roster spot. Short has been called up to the active roster a few times this season, though he has yet to carve out a significant role.<\/p>\n
