2 years agoThe Detroit Tigers optioned starting pitcher Alex Faedo to Triple-A on Friday. The move was made to clear a roster spot for Michael Pineda (finger), who was activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. According to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch, Faedo's demotion was a strategic move to "lengthen out Alex's season." Hinch also added that Faedo would likely be back with the team for their upcoming doubleheaders on July 4 and July 11. The 26-year-old has seen his first MLB action this year. He had a strong 2.92 ERA over his first seven starts, but he really fell apart after that. Over his last three outings, he allowed a total of 14 earned runs over 11.1 innings.--Andrew Ericksen - RotoBaller
