The Detroit Tigers bullpen woes have continued, as the team’s 4.66 ERA out of the pen currently ranks 25th in the league. While Joe Jimenez has looked solid and Shane Greene has held his own, the rest of the arms have struggled to keep runs off the board.
The team has tried to curb their issues by constantly interchanging guys between Triple-A and Toledo, trying to find the combination that works. They’ve also closely monitored the open market for new relievers, although they’ve passed up on some intriguing options.
The team did just make an addition however, signing soon to be 32-year-old Junichi Tazawa to a minor league contract.
