The Tigers recalled Funkhouser from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

A fourth-round draft pick in 2016, Funkhouser will be up with the big club for the first time in his career after a slow, but steady climb through the Tigers' farm system. Funkhouser has worked exclusively as a starter during his minor-league career, but he's expected to work in long relief initially with Dario Agrazal positioned to begin the season as the club's fifth starter.
