Detroit Tigers: Chad Bell called up Mikie Mahtook sent down

The Detroit Tigers made some roster moves over the past 24-hours. First they sent Mikie Mahtook down to Triple-A Toledo. Mahtook had just 31 at-bats this season.

Then they called up Chad Bell to help bolster the bullpen. Despite Mahtook struggling, Gardenhire wasn’t happy to send him down. But the Tigers skipper admitted that the Tigers are in dire need of bullpen help. Our own Andy Patton makes the case for the call-up, especially with how the bullpen has been performing this season.

Jordan Zimmerman suffered an injury yesterday when he took a line drive to the face.
