7 years agoThe Detroit Tigers optioned the contracts of two pitchers Thursday: left handers Blaine Hardy and Chad Bell. Hardy is dealing with tightness in his left shoulder and has pitched just one inning this spring, but spent parts of each of the last four seasons with the big league club. He appeared in as many as 70 games in 2015, but appeared in just 35 last year and struggled to a 5.94 ERA. Bell had worked 6 and 2/3 innings this spring, striking out six batters in the process. He appeared in 28 games last season, but was touched up for a 6.93 ERA in that time.--Tyler Germain - RotoBaller
