Sborz recalled from Triple-A to replace Porcello

DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers plan to recall pitcher Jay Sborz from Triple-A Toledo to replace Rick Porcello.

The team said Sborz will be in uniform Tuesday night when the Tigers play the New York Mets. The right-handed Sborz is 1-1 with a 3.04 ERA, 15 saves and 28 strikeouts in 24 appearances with the Mud Hens.

Porcello was optioned to Toledo before Sunday’s game against Arizona. After going 14-9 as a 20-year-old rookie last year, the struggling right-hander is 4-7 with a 6.14 ERA this season.
