The Detroit Tigers place Todd Jones on the D.L.

The Tigers have placed righty reliever Todd Jones back on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right shoulder. Jones has pitched in 45 games (0 starts) this season for the Tigers and he is 4-1 with 18 saves, a 4.97 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP. The Tigers have recalled 31-year old righty reliever Gary Glover from AAA to replace Jones in the bullpen. Glover pitched in 29 games (0 starts) earlier this season for the Tampa Bay Rays and he was 1-2 with a 5.82 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP. He will likely be used in middle relief for the Tigers. Glover has now pitched in 245 games (47 starts) in his major league career and he is 28-25 with 3 saves, a 5.06 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. Losing Jones will deplete an already weak Tigers’ bullpen as their season continues to go down the commode.
