Tigers' Daniel Stumpf: Slated to begin 2017 in minors
Stumpf was informed that he will not make the Tigers' 25-man roster out of spring training, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis:
The hard-throwing left-hander was in the running for a spot in Detroit's bullpen, but a groin issue and a 4.70 spring ERA ultimately sealed his fate and sent him to the minors. That being said, Stumpf should get plenty of opportunities in Triple-A Toledo's bullpen and could find his way back to the big leagues if he shows improvement.
