The Tigers have activated Alfredo Figaro from the DL. There is no word yet on his role but with the Tigers down to 3 healthy starters and Eddie Bonine filling in already one could presume he’ll be used as a starter.

[…] it looks like Micro was right as usual. Figaro was activated. Alfredo Figaro activated Whether he ends up the 5th starter or is used in the pen has not been said, but this is the best […]
The Tigers have three starters and a lot of bullpen guys who can give you two or three innings. What if the decision was made to start Verlander, Jackson, and Porcello every three days with a 70 pitch limit? Five starts of seventy pitches each is fewer pitches than three of 120. Instead of starting Galarraga/Figaro/Bonine/Washburn/whoever, and basically knowing that you’re going to be down like 5-1 by the fourth, give yourself the chance to be ahead at the end of the fourth, and get 5 innings out of the expanded bullpen.
No chance it actually happens. Seems like maybe the best answer to this situation, though.
