Tigers call up Alex Presley, designate Tyler Collins for assignment

Buck Farmer is heading back to the minors, and Tyler Collins could join him.

The Detroit Tigers announced Farmer will head to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Farmer, who was added to the roster as the 26th man for Saturday's doubleheader, picked up the first major league victory in the Tigers' 4-3 win over the White Sox. He struck out 11 in six-plus innings.

Collins, meanwhile, was designated for assignment after the Tigers purchased the contract of outfielder Alex Presley, who hit .213 (33-for-155) in 40 games with the Mud Hens this season.

If Collins clears waivers, he could rejoin the Tigers' organization in Toledo.
