Detroit Tigers – Jose Valverde has been designated for assignment and Joaquin Benoit will close when he is available. Al Alburquerque was brought back up from Triple-A Toledo and could work his way into the discussion for the 9th inning if he can keep his walks down. Hierarchy change: Joaquin Benoit to Closer, Drew Smyly to Set-up, Al Alburquerque to 2nd in line.
