Burrows (oblique) is listed as an available option out of the Tigers' bullpen for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows' inclusion on the lineup card isn't necessarily an indication that he'll be used in relief Tuesday, but it appears safe to conclude that the 23-year-old has moved past the left oblique strain that resulted in him being shut down last August. After wrapping up the 2019 campaign with a 4.84 ERA in 74.1 innings between three affiliates, Burrows is expected to fill a full-time role in the Triple-A Toledo rotation in 2020.

Burrows (oblique) was added to the Tigers' 40-man roster Wednesday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows advanced to Triple-A Toledo last season, where he recorded a 5.51 ERA with a 61:32 K:BB over 65.1 innings. It's encouraging to see him reach the Triple-A level, but he'll likely have to show more consistency in limiting run production before he is considered for a major-league role. Burrows' addition to the 40-man roster protects him from the Rule 5 draft.

Burrows will be shut down for the rest of 2019 due to a left oblique strain, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows started 15 games for Triple-A Toledo prior to suffering the injury, posting a 5.51 ERA and 1.54 WHIP with a 61:32 K:BB over 65.1 innings. He's expected to be healthy for the start of spring training, per Waldon.

Burrows was promoted to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows missed a month and a half due to shoulder inflammation, but he's back with Toledo after making a pair of rehab start, one with High-A Lakeland and the other with Double-A Erie. Prior to getting hurt, Burrows compiled a 5.32 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB in 23.2 innings with the Mud Hens.

Burrows was promoted to Double-A Erie on Friday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows missed a month and a half due to shoulder inflammation. He returned for one start at High-A Lakeland and should now spend a brief period of time with Erie before returning to Triple-A Toledo, where he started the season.

Burrows was activated from the 7-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday for High-A Lakeland, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows has been sidelined since April 27 with right shoulder inflammation, but he proved his health last weekend by completing a three-inning simulated game. He'll likely take on a larger workload while he returns to minor-league action Monday for what will be a de facto rehab outing. Assuming Burrows escapes his turn with Lakeland without any setbacks, he'll likely move up to Triple-A Toledo for his subsequent start.

Burrows (shoulder) pitched at High-A Lakeland on Sunday and is scheduled for a simulated game (three innings) Wednesday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is positive news for Burrows, who landed on the 7-day injured list May 2 with shoulder inflammation. Following Wednesday's sim game, he'll be re-evaluated to determine the next step in his rehab process.

Burrows was placed on the minor-league injured list due to shoulder inflammation, Brian Buckey of The Toledo Blade reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Doug Mientkiewicz downplayed the severity of the injury, noting that Burrows underwent an MRI that revealed no "major" or "structural" damage. The skipper expects Burrows to be back in action in about a week. Prior to landing on the shelf, Burrows posted a 5.32 ERA and 26:11 K:BB in five starts (23.2 innings).

Burrows tossed 6.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision Thursday for Triple-A Toledo. He allowed three hits and struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Burrows has not allowed an earned run through his first 10.1 innings of the season, and he has 12 strikeouts versus just two walks. The 22-year-old struggled with command last season, posting a 3.8 BB/9 in 134 innings with Double-A Erie, so he could be ready to take a step forward as a prospect if he continues to limit the walks.

Burrows has a 4.2 BB/9 this season in 108.1 innings with Double-A Erie, which is the highest mark of his career.

EDGE Analysis

Last season, Burrows started with High-A Lakeland and posted a 1.7 BB/9 across 58.2 innings, but that figure jumped to 3.9 when he finished the year with 76.1 innings at Double-A. Erie manager Andrew Graham said the 21-year-old hasn't been able to dominate as much with just his fastball, which could be behind some of the control issues, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. Burrows still has a solid 3.99 ERA, and if he can iron out his command a bit, he could advance to Triple-A before the season is over.
