Reed

Brad Hand, who started the first game of Friday’s doubleheader, was sent down in a corresponding roster move. Reed, 26, has a 3.88 ERA and 53/20 K/BB ratio over 53 1/3 innings this season between Double-A Jacksonville and Triple-A New Orleans. He’ll provide a fresh arm for the bullpen.

Reed posted a 4.68 ERA while striking out 70 over 67 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A this season. He’ll compete for a bullpen job next spring.

Reed appeared in two games with the Tigers earlier this season and has a 2.53 ERA over 32 innings at the Triple-A level. The 27-year-old will provide bullpen depth.

Reed has posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 28/7 K/BB ratio in 21 innings this season at the Triple-A level. He should do well in a middle relief role for Detroit.

Reed allowed four hits and one earned run in four relief innings during his short stay with Detroit. The right-hander will probably get another try later this summer.

A former third-round pick, Reed posted a 4.68 ERA with 70 strikeouts over 67 1/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A last season. The 27-year-old should pass through waivers.

Reed was designated for assignment by the Marlins over the weekend. The 27-year-old had a 4.68 ERA and 70 strikeouts over 67 1/3 innings last season between Double- and Triple-A and will serve as bullpen depth for Detroit.

The 27-year-old righty has done a nice job over 12 appearances with the Tigers already this season, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 12/4 K/BB ratio over 18 innings of work. He’ll function in a middle relief role in Jim Leyland’s bullpen.

He had been accused of raping a woman at a Detroit casino hotel in March of 2014. Two charges of third-degree criminal sexual conduct were dropped as part of the plea agreement. Reed, who has maintained his innocence, is expected to receive probation. He’s currently a free agent after being removed from the Tigers’ 40-man roster last winter.

Each charge carries a prison term of up to 15 years if Reed is convicted. Reed allegedly met a 45-year-old woman at a bar that night before taking her back to his room and assaulting her. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said that he has interview numerous witnesses and also reviewed surveillance footage before the charges were brought. Reed, who is currently at Triple-A Toledo, is expected to turn himself into the authorities.
