Villarreal was recalled from Triple-A Thursday, the Tigers' official Twitter reports.
Recommendation: Villarreal's call-up marks his second stint with the big league club this year, where he has only pitched 1.2 innings. Villarreal was much more impressive in 14.0 innings at Triple-A Toledo, where he posted an ERA of 1.29 in 14.0 innings while holding batters to a .125 average. He'll be ticketed for middle relief work with the Tigers.
