Back in big leagues The Tigers selected Farmer's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com

Impact He'll be joining the bullpen as a replacement for Beau Burrows, who was optioned to Triple-A after Saturday's 15-2 loss to the White Sox. Farmer owns an unremarkable 3.97 ERA and 1.35 WHIP at Triple-A this season, but he's been excellent over his last four outings, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks over 6.1 innings.

Designated for assignment Farmer was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Farmer had been with the team since Opening Day but struggled through 12 relief appearances. He owns a 12.66 ERA and 2.25 WHIP through 10.2 innings, walking 16.1 percent of opposing batters while striking out just 17.9 percent. As a 30-year-old with a career 5.47 ERA, there's seemingly a good chance he passes through waivers and remains a part of the Tigers' organization.

Hit hard again Monday Farmer allowed three runs on a hit and three walks across 1.2 innings in Monday's 15-6 loss to the Twins. He struck out one.

Impact No Detroit pitcher had much luck in the blowout loss, and Farmer served up a solo home run to Nelson Cruz as part of his rough outing. Through two appearances this season, the righty has allowed five earned runs in just 2.2 innings of work. Farmer should ultimately settle in as one of the Tigers' more reliable relief options, but he's unlikely to have a ton of fantasy appeal in his role.

Hit hard again Wednesday Farmer allowed four runs on three hits and a walk while retiring just two batters in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He struck out one.

Impact Farmer allowed two home runs, and he now has a 30.86 ERA across 2.1 innings this spring. The righty is potentially in the mix to close, though he likely projects as more of a setup option, and a sluggish performance in the Grapefruit League won't help him move up the bullpen pecking order.

Tigers' Buck Farmer working on 'three-pitch mix' Tigers beat reporter Chris McCosky talks to pitcher Buck Farmer about Farmer's offseason and preparations for spring training.

FEBRUARY 19, 2021 • DETROITNEWS.COM

Could be a closer option Farmer is one of several options to close out games for the Tigers to begin the season, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Farmer has been a steady if not spectacular bullpen option for the Tigers, recording a 3.74 ERA across the past two seasons. He's ostensibly a potential closer for new manager A.J. Hinch, but the more likely scenario is that he settles into a more familiar setup role in front of someone like Gregory Soto or Bryan Garcia.
