Lakeland, Fla. – Right-hander Alex Faedo, who was fighting for a spot as a long reliever in the Tigers’ bullpen, was among seven players optioned or reassigned Monday morning.
Faedo and right-handed reliever Edwin Uceta were optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
Right-handed relievers Kervin Castro and Miguel Diaz, left-hander Miguel Del Pozo and utility players Brendon Davis and Jermaine Palacios also were reassigned to minor league.
Faedo, 27, was coming off hip surgery and was on a slower build-up this spring. The former first-round pick (2018) pitched in four games, allowing seven runs in 5.
