Tigers optioned LHP Charlie Furbush to Triple-A Toledo.
Furbush was shelled in his start Saturday and wasn't too impressive in his first start. He took Phil Coke's spot in the rotation but only made it through 7 1/3 innings over two starts. Danny Worth will be called up Sunday in his place.

Making his first start in place of Phil Coke on Monday, Charlie Furbush allowed three runs on five hits and a walk in 4 2/3 innings of Detroit's 5-1 loss to the Angels.
He struck out five. Not an impressive outing, but hardly a disastrous one. The owner of solid peripherals in both the minor leagues and Detroit's bullpen, Furbush is certainly worth keeping an eye on in AL-only formats.

Charlie Furbush will replace the struggling Phil Coke in the starting rotation.
His first start will be Monday against the Angels. While Furbush has impressed in a relief role with the Tigers, he has primarily been a starting pitcher in the minor leagues. The 25-year-old southpaw had a 2.91 ERA and 55/14 K/BB ratio over his first eight starts this season before being called up by the Tigers last month.
