Detroit Tigers explain sending down Nomar Mazara and Willi Castro, calling up Derek Hill

Special to Detroit Free Press

The Detroit Tigers made a few moves Friday morning, ahead of their day-night doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park.

Going: Outfielder Nomar Mazara has been designated for assignment, with infielder Willi Castro optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

Coming: Outfielder Derek Hill and infielder Isaac Paredes are up from Toledo, with left-handed pitcher Miguel Del Pozo designated as the 27th man for the doubleheader.

Mazara, 26, was signed as a free agent by the Tigers over the offseason to add some offensive punch, but his time in the organization is essentially over.
