The Tigers optioned Sammons to Triple-A Toledo following Sunday's game against the White Sox.
Sammons earned the win while serving in bulk relief Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 frames. Though he now holds a 1-1 record with a 3.62 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 27.1 major-league innings this season, the Tigers didn't have a spot in the rotation available for him moving forward. In addition to Ty Madden getting called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move to make his first MLB start Monday in Chicago, the Tigers are also expected to get Casey Mize (hamstring) back in the rotation later this week.
