Detroit Tigers send slumping Christin Stewart to Toledo; Riley Greene to get the call?

Detroit Tigers outfielder Christin Stewart has been sent down to the alternate training site in Toledo, the team announced Tuesday night after an 8-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Comerica Park.

Stewart was replaced in the sixth inning for defensive purposes, as Derek HIll entered to play center field and Victor Reyes shifted to Stewart's spot in left field.

The Tigers will make a corresponding move Wednesday, and manager Ron Gardenhire said the player will be a "fun thing" for the fans — possibly alluding to Riley Greene, Daz Cameron or even another prospect.
