The Detroit Tigers recalled former All-Star closer Trevor Rosenthal from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
The 29-year-old Rosenthal signed a minor league deal with the Tigers last month. He struggled at Toledo with a 10.13 ERA in six appearances but still was recalled by the club.
Rosenthal was an All-Star in 2015 and saved 93 games over a two-season span (2014-15) with the St. Louis Cardinals before ineffectiveness and Tommy John surgery derailed his career.
He missed the 2018 season and signed with the Washington Nationals in the offseason.
Rosenthal was roughed up regularly for the Nationals by allowing 16 runs in just six 6 1/3 innings over 12 appearances. He walked 15 and struck out just five.
Washington released Rosenthal on June 23 and he signed with the Tigers six days later.
