The Tigers right-hander Buck Farmer was recalled from Triple-A Toledo following Tuesday's loss to the Mariners. Farmer has made two starts for the Tigers this year, going 0-2 with a 10.45 ERA.
Farmer could be used as a starter on Sunday, or he might be used in relief out of the bullpen leading up to the All-Star Break.
He is taking the roster spot of Kyle Ryan, who was optioned to Toledo following his start on Tuesday, according to MLive.com. Ryan allowed five runs in 2 2/3 innings in the 7-6 loss on Tuesday.
