Reininger was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports
EDGE Analysis
This comes after Reininger was tagged for three runs on four hits -- two homers -- and a walk while striking out one across 1.2 innings of relief Thursday against the Angels. The righty now owns a 14.40 ERA, 2.80 WHIP and 3:1 K:BB in five innings of big-league work this season. The Tigers are expected to announce a corresponding roster move prior to Friday's series opener against the Twins.

Reininger was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger spent a day with the Tigers on Tuesday as the 26th man for that day's doubleheader against the Red Sox. He's up to replace Jordan Zimmerman (elbow) for now, but he could end up back in the minors when the Tigers need another starter.

Reininger was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger was called up earlier Tuesday to serve as the 26th man for the doubleheader. The 26-year-old faced only one batter during his day in the majors, but it was a significant one as he retired Mookie Betts on two pitches with the tying run on base to finish the eighth inning.

Reininger will be brought up from Triple-A Toledo as the 26th man for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger owns a sparkling 0.90 ERA with nine punchouts over 10 innings with Triple-A Toledo this season and will be available out of the bullpen for the Tigers if needed. He'll head back to the minors at the conclusion of the nightcap.

The Tigers optioned Reininger to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger has covered 31 innings at the big-league level the past two seasons, accruing a 7.55 ERA and 1.81 WHIP. The right-hander will likely be limited to lower-leverage work out of the bullpen whenever he's up with the big club in 2019.

Reininger was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger shuttled between the majors and minors all season, but he'll be up for good now that rosters expanded for the month of September. His performance in Detroit has left much to be desired though, as he allowed 10 runs in just 12 innings pitched in the big leagues this year. He'll likely work in low-leverage situations for the remainder of the season.

Reininger was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Thursday's game.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger pitched the ninth inning during Thursday's victory over the White Sox, allowing just one baserunner on a walk while recording one strikeout. In a corresponding move, the club is set to reinstated Michael Fulmer (oblique) from the DL prior to Friday's start. Reininger is a strong candidate to return to the big-league club when rosters expand in September.

Reininger was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger has appeared in seven games for the Tigers this season, during which he's allowed eight earned runs on 10 hits and five walks with four strikeouts across seven innings of relief. He's fared much better with Toledo, logging a 2.89 ERA and a 9.4 K/9. Expect to see him utilized in low-leverage spots while with the big-league club. In a corresponding move, the Tigers put Artie Lewicki (elbow) on the DL.

Manager Ron Gardenhire said Reininger was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following the Tigers' 9-2 loss to the Indians on Sunday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Reininger was roughed up while working the eighth inning of the blowout loss, surrendering three runs on four hits. His demotion could pave the way for the Tigers to add another catcher to the active roster with James McCann (illness) still recovering from a nasty bout of the flu, according to Fenech.

Reininger was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday, Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander will return to fortify a bullpen that was forced to cover five innings in relief of Ryan Carpenter (oblique) on Thursday. Reininger has struggled in a major way in his first 12 career appearances at the big-league level and he will likely be sent back down when a need arises elsewhere on the roster.
