The Detroit Tigers have optioned left-handed reliever Fu-Te Ni to Triple-A Toledo.

The move was made after Wednesday's game at Minnesota. Manager Jim Leyland said the team would bring up another pitcher before the game in Detroit on Friday against Seattle.

Ni has a 6.65 ERA in 22 games, with 19 walks in 23 innings.

Leyland says he hasn't used him as well as he could have, leaving him idle too long between appearances.
