Hanifee owns a 3.29 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 13.2 innings with Detroit this season, but he's given up 11 earned runs in just 12 innings since being sent down to Toledo on June 12. His recent struggles in the minors will likely limit him to low-leverage work with the Tigers.

Both Hanifee and Beau Brieske will head down to Toledo in order to make room on the Tigers' 26-man roster for Kenley Jansen and Jacob Waguespack. Hanifee has appeared in 14 games (two starts) for the Tigers this season and has a 3.29 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and two holds over 13.2 innings. He could get another crack at major-league action should Detroit need right-handed depth out of the bullpen.
