Detroit Tigers fans will see a slightly different bullpen for the time being.
The Tigers’ relief pitchers, who have generally pitched well as of late, will welcome Warwick Saupold back into the fold on Monday.
Saupold, a 27-year-old pitcher who can start and pitch in long relief, has spent much of the 2017 season with Triple-A Toledo.
He owns a 2.90 ERA, a 1.364 WHIP and 7.4 strikeouts per nine innings with the Mud Hens.
Detroit announced the move in a tweet on the team’s official Twitter account on Monday afternoon.
The Tigers tweeted the following:
“#Tigers RHP Anibal Sanchez has accepted an optional assignment to Toledo (AAA) and RHP Warwick Saupold has been recalled from Toledo.
