The Tigers granted Pineda his release Wednesday after he cleared waivers. Neither the non-contending Tigers nor Pineda likely had interest in keeping him around in the organization as pitching depth at Triple-A Toledo, so Detroit will eat the money remaining on his one-year, $5.5 million deal and allow him to get a head start on finding his next home. Given that the 33-year-old turned in an ugly 5.79 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a career-worst 9.0 K-BB% across 46.2 innings for Detroit on the season, playoff-hopeful teams might not have much interest in bringing him aboard down the stretch.

Pineda was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Sunday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. The 33-year-old allowed five runs over four frames Saturday versus the Royals in his first start back from the injured list, and the Tigers apparently have seen enough to move on. Pineda has a 5.79 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB across 46.2 innings and will be a free agent during the offseason, so Detroit will test out their younger rotation arms down the stretch.

Pineda (2-7) picked up the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits while striking out three and walking two over four innings. Pineda was knocked around for five runs across four frames Saturday. Four of the runs came via a solo home run and a three-run homer, while the fifth run was scored on a single. Pineda was inefficient in the contest, tossing 53 of 80 pitches for strikes before being pulled. The veteran righty was making his first start back from the IL after recovering from a triceps injury that cost him all of August, but he wasn't pitching well prior to being shut down and carries an 8.14 ERA in 24.1 innings while going 1-5 over six starts since July 1. During that span, Pineda's season ERA has shot up from 3.62 to 5.79.

Pineda (2-7) allowed five runs on six hits and two walks across four innings to take the loss Saturday against the Royals. He struck out three. Pineda was making his first appearance since July 23 due to a triceps injury and lengthy IL stint, and his return was a struggle. Nick Pratto and Bobby Witt both went deep against the veteran, who saw his season ERA climb to 5.79. Pineda is projected to make his next start against these same Royals, but fantasy managers should likely look elsewhere given the righty's long layoff and overall subpar results this season.

The Tigers reinstated Pineda (triceps) from the 15-day injured list Thursday. Though he's not scheduled to make his next start with the Tigers until Saturday's game against the Royals, Pineda will join Detroit two days in advance while the active roster expands from 26 to 28 men. To clear room for Pineda, the Tigers optioned utility man Zack Short to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday's loss to the Mariners. Over his three rehab starts at Triple-A while he ramped up from the right triceps injury, Pineda produced a 4.63 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB across 11.2 innings.
