MINNEAPOLIS -- Zach Miner walked four batters and threw 49 pitches in two innings Tuesday night. It was his third straight unsmooth outing. On Wednesday morning, the Tigers sent Miner to Triple-A Toledo and recalled right-hander Aquilino Lopez, who'd been in the Tigers bullpen until he was sent down a few weeks ago when Fernando Rodney was activated.

Zach Miner paid the price for a 4 walk effort on Tuesday night with an assignment to Toledo. Aquilino Lopez who was being stretched out as a starter has been recalled to provide a strike thrower in the pen.

We already knew that the Detroit Tigers were worried about the starting pitching depth in the organization. Aquilino Lopez was sent down to Toledo to " stretch out " from a reliever's workload and get ready to pitch starter's innings. But it looks like the Tigers are exploring all available options, in case Eddie Bonine doesn't prove major league ready or Dontrelle Willis can't regain his control...
