Matt Wisler: Cut loose by Detroit
Matt Wisler was released by the Tigers on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.Wisler underwhelmed with a 4.40 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 39 appearances at Triple-A Toledo and failed to crack Detroit's big-league roster. The right-hander had some buzz when he broke into the majors, but he's now pitched in parts of eight big-league seasons and may very well have exhausted his opportunities in the majors.

Tigers' Matt Wisler: Denied Opening Day roster spot
The Detroit Tigers reassigned Matt Wisler to minor-league camp Monday.Even though he settled for a minor-league deal with the Tigers in free agency, Wisler was expected to have a leg up on a spot in the Opening Day bullpen after submitting a sterling 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 35:14 K:BB in 44 innings at the big-league level with the Rays in 2022. Unfortunately for Wisler, he hardly resembled that pitcher in spring training, as he was touched up for 10 earned runs on 10 hits and seven walks while striking out just two over 5.1 innings. Unless he chooses to opt out of his deal with Detroit, Wisler will likely report to Triple-A Toledo and will look to sharpen his command and control with the hope of resurfacing in the majors.
