Detroit — The Tigers, according to a report by The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, have placed veteran right-hander Jose Cisnero on waivers.
Cisnero, 34, has been a staple in the Tigers’ bullpen for five seasons, but he’s struggled mightily this month. In his last five outings, he’s allowed 10 runs in 3.2 innings with hitters slashing .526/.600/.632.
Teams would have until Thursday to claim him. If he’s unclaimed, the Tigers would give him his outright release. With five years of big-league service time, he can block any minor-league assignment.
