Beau Burrows, Joey Wentz Among Tigers Spring Cuts
4 years agoDetroit Tigers pitching prospects Alex Faedo (team's No. 10 prospect), Joey Wentz (No. 9), Beau Burrows (No. 15) and Kyle Funkhouser were optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, while catcher Dillon Dingler (No. 8), pitcher Zack Hess (No. 30), Gerson Moreno, Daniel Pinero, Jacob Robson, Aderlin Rodriguez and Danny Woodrow were reassigned to minicamp. Faedo is out for the year while rehabbing Tommy John surgery. Wentz had the same surgery a year ago and is expected to return to minor league games this summer. Burrows and Funkhouser were the only ones with a real chance to win roster spots. Burrows, the Tigers top pick in 2015, threw 1 1/3 perfect innings on March 1 against the Yankees. Burrows and Funkhouser will be part of the alternate training site when the season opens with the Triple-A season being delayed by a month.
