Ryan Carpenter Demoted, Grayson Greiner Placed On Injured List
6 years agoThe Detroit Tigers optioned starting pitcher Ryan Carpenter to Triple-A Toledo after another unsuccessful start on Friday against the Indians. The team also placed catcher Grayson Greiner (back) on the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain. Carpenter gave up eight runs (six earned) while walking four and striking out only two in three innings against Cleveland and he's 1-4 with a rough 8.82 ERA while allowing 47 hits in 32 2/3 innings and walking 11 and fanning 21 in seven starts. He can be dropped everywhere. Greiner suffered his injury taking swings before the game. He was hitting .162 in 169 plate appearances and wasn't a fantasy option. Bobby Wilson will be called up from Toledo to serve as the backup to John Hicks.
