DETROIT -- Like the rest of the roster, the Tigers' pitching staff has been plagued by injuries almost all season, leaving manager Ron Gardenhire to patch together his starting rotation and bullpen. It's what they'll be doing for at least the next few days, starting with Monday's doubleheader against the Yankees at Comerica Park.
The Tigers called up Sandy Baez from Double-A Erie to join the bullpen as the 26th player allowed for doubleheaders. Baez was starting in Erie and had an 0-4 record with a 3.90 ERA in 10 outings.
"He's throwing the ball well," said Gardenhire.
