Tigers recalled a Triple-A arm to restock the bullpen after the doubleheader
Standard post-doubleheader bookkeeping. Detroit burned through relievers across two games and brought up a Triple-A arm to replenish the 'pen — the kind of move that happens a dozen times a season and shows up in the transaction wire without much ceremony.
Worth noting in context: this bullpen has been patchwork for weeks. With Will Vest on the 15-day IL and the rotation already short Framber Valdez on bereavement leave, the staff has been leaning on whatever is available. Konnor Pilkington has been one of the quiet answers — five appearances, no runs allowed — and any fresh arm that can hold that standard for even a few outings helps.
The Tigers are 7-3 in their last 10, so whatever they're doing with this roster is working. One recall doesn't move the needle, but keeping the bullpen functional is how you stay in a stretch run. Detroit is four back of the last wild card with 65 games left. They don't have room to waste games on an empty 'pen.
