LAKELAND, Fla. — Before Tuesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Detroit Tigers trimmed their roster to 54 players.
Optioned to Triple-A Toledo were: right-handers Kyle Funkhouser and John Schreiber, infielders Sergio Alcántara and Isaac Paredes and outfielders Daz Cameron and Derek Hil.
Among those players, only Schreiber has prior major league experience, pitching in relief in 13 games for the Tigers last season.
Paredes is considered one of the team's top hitting prospects. The 21-year-old infielder hit .282 with 13 home runs last season in Double-A Erie.
Right-hander Anthony Castro was optioned to Erie.
