ANAHEIM -- Anibal Sanchez is heading to the bullpen. Manager Brad Ausmus announced Wednesday that the Tigers are pulling the struggling starter out of their rotation and moving him into relief work while they try to work him through his season-long struggles.
It's not necessarily a permanent move, Ausmus cautioned. At the same time, it comes with no assurance that he'll rejoin the rotation.
"He definitely could work his way back into the starting rotation," Ausmus said. "But right now, there's nothing promised. If people in the rotation are pitching well, they're going to stay there.
