PITTSBURGH -- After recalling outfielder Mike Gerber on Monday to give the team an extra bat for their series in Pittsburgh, the Tigers are using their 26th man to add an arm to the bullpen for Wednesday's doubleheader.
Right-hander Artie Lewicki joined the team from Triple-A Toledo and will be available for multiple innings. Since the doubleheader was scheduled less than 48 hours in advance, Lewicki will only be available in the second game.
Lewicki appeared in four games for Detroit last season and has made three starts with Toledo this season with a 5.
