Tigers designate VerHagen for assignment, recall Gerber
The Tigers on Monday designated right-hander Drew VerHagen for assignment and promoted outfielder Mike Gerber to the 25-man roster.
VerHagen compiled a 6.30 ERA in nine relief appearances with the Tigers and must clear waivers before being outrighted to Triple-A Toledo.
Gerber made his big-league debut Friday as a pinch runner. He was the 26th man for a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals.
VerHagen was drafted by the Tigers in the fourth round in 2012 out of Vanderbilt.
