So much for Rondon proving something to close out the 2015 season.
DETROIT -- Bruce Rondon has been sent packing. Detroit Tigers manager Brad Ausmus announced on Tuesday that the Tigers closer had been sent home for his "effort level" and would not comment further on the situation, to include whether the reasons were personal or baseball related. Going forward, closer duties will likely be shared between Alex Wilson and Neftali Feliz.
"Bruce Rondon, because of his effort level, has been sent home," Ausmus said. "And other than saying (general manager) Al Avila and myself completely agreed on it, there will be no other details or comments.
