The Detroit Tigers unlocked a sense of normalcy again in their bullpen Thursday when the organization activated right-handed reliever Buck Farmer from the 10-day injured list.
He has been sidelined since sustaining a left groin strain Aug. 9. The Tigers shipped him to the alternate training site in Toledo the next day for a brief rehabilitation stint with the reserve squad. He tossed 15 pitches in a simulated game Wednesday and on Friday said he feels healthy.
A lot has changed since his departure, specifically a nine-game losing streak that has brought a somber air to the clubhouse at times.
