Tigers optioned RHP Chad Smith to Triple-A Toledo. With the Tigers bullpen taxed during Friday's series-opening loss to the Indians, and a doubleheader on tap for Saturday, the Tigers needed a fresh bullpen arm and Smith was the odd-man out. The 24-year-old has compiled a 5.40 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 9/3 K/BB ratio in his 11 2/3 innings at the big league level.
