Michael Pineda: Parts ways with Detroit
The Tigers granted Michael 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.

Tigers' Michael Pineda: DFA'd by Detroit
Michael Pineda was designated for assignment by the Detroit 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.

Tigers' Michael Pineda: Allows five runs in return
Michael 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.

Tigers' Michael Pineda: Gets hit hard in return
Michael 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.

Tigers' Michael Pineda: Second rehab outing on tap
Michael Pineda (triceps) was scheduled to make his second rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.Pineda had been scheduled to take the hill Sunday on four days' rest, but Toledo's game against Columbus was postponed due to rain. The right-hander previously took the hill for Toledo on Tuesday, when he struck out three over 2.2 innings while allowing three earned runs on six hits and one walk. Pineda threw 54 pitches in that outing, so if he can build up to around 70-to-80 pitches Tuesday, he could be ready to rejoin the big-league rotation before the end of the month.

Tigers' Michael Pineda: Set to start rehab assignment
Michael Pineda (triceps) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo in the coming days, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.After a successful simulated game Wednesday, Pineda is now set to make two starts at Triple-A before the team makes a decision on whether or not to bring him back.

Due to the fact that the Detroit Tigers are nowhere near playoff contention, they'll likely operate with little urgency to get him back into the rotation.
