Tigers promoting Victor Alcantara; no more September call-ups expected

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers will recall right-handed relief pitcher Victor Alcantara before Tuesday's game to add another arm to their crowded bullpen.

The Tigers will have 13 pitchers in the bullpen, in addition to five starters. (Jordan Zimmermann and Michael Fulmer are injured).

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said Alcantara will likely be the last player recalled from Triple-A Toledo. The Mud Hens' season ended on Monday.

If that's the case, it means longtime Tiger Bruce Rondon will not be getting an invitation back to the big-league club and it could signal the end of his time with the organization.
