Detroit — The Victor Reyes era in Detroit might be over.
Reyes, the former Rule 5 pick who spent the last five seasons with the Tigers, was among a group of six players waived and outrighted to Triple-A Thursday. That list includes pitchers Bryan Garcia, Luis Castillo and Elvin Rodriguez, and infielders Luis Garcia and Jermaine Palacios.
Of that group, Reyes, Bryan Garcia, Castillo, Rodriguez and Palacios were expected to explore minor-league free agency.
The moves were made, in part, to clear roster space for the reinstatement of 10 players from the 60-day injured list – pitchers Beau Brieske, Kyle Funkhouser, Rony Garcia, Matt Manning, Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal, Spencer Turnbull and Sean Guenther, plus catcher Jake Rogers and outfielder Austin Meadows.
