CLEVELAND -- The clean inning Daniel Stumpf pitched for Triple-A Toledo on Friday night suggested the left-hander is healthy after a bout with ulnar nerve irritation in his elbow. But it's becoming clear Stumpf's rehab assignment isn't simply about getting him healthy before he rejoins the Tigers' bullpen.
"We just want him getting people out and throwing it over," manager Ron Gardenhire said Saturday. "And he's healthy, so it's now about it's about that. And then we'll decide what we need to do."
With that in mind, Stumpf's rehab stint will extend into at least next week.
