The Detroit Tigers placed right-handed reliever Jason Foley on the bereavement list before Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Twins and called up Trey Wingenter, another right-handed reliever, from Triple-A Toledo.
When a player is on the bereavement list, he must miss a minimum of three games and can miss up to seven games. Foley is expected to return to the Tigers during the upcoming three-game series (Friday-Sunday) against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
His grandmother died recently.
