DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers optioned right-handed reliever Joe Jimenez to the alternate site in Toledo between games of Wednesday’s doubleheader.
Jimenez’s spot will be filled by right-handed pitcher Spencer Turnbull, who will start Game 2 against the Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:40 p.m. at Comerica Park. Turnbull had been on the COVID-related injury list since the start of the season.
The Tigers have also appointed outfielder Derek Hill to serve as 27th man for the second game. Barring a surprise, he will be returned to Toledo following the game.
Jimenez, 26, failed to make the big-league club out of spring training, but was called up five days ago. It did not go well. Jimenez walked seven batters in 1 1/3 innings and was an obvious candidate to be sent out to Toledo to get back on track.
Hill, 25, will be available off the bench Wednesday. The former first-round pick known for his speed and defense made his Major League debut in 2020 and went 1-for-11 with six strikeouts.
