Krol has opted out of his minor-league deal with the Padres and is headed overseas to continue his career, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old lefty made 18 appearances for the Tigers last year, logging a 4.34 ERA. He had a 7.46 ERA while pitching for Triple-A El Paso in the Pacific Coast League.

Krol signed with the Padres as a non-roster invitee Friday.

EDGE Analysis

This veteran lefty owns a 4.49 ERA in 208.2 career major-league innings and posted a similar 4.34 ERA in 18.2 frames last season. He'll have the chance to earn a lower-leverage relief role in camp.

Krol elected free agency Friday after refusing an outright assignment to the minors.

EDGE Analysis

Krol tossed 18.2 innings for the Tigers this season, his first major-league action since 2018. His 4.34 ERA was nothing special, but being left-handed could make him at least somewhat interesting on the open market.

Krol's contract was selected from Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He was designated for assignment two weeks ago but was summoned to take on a low-leverage relief role with Tyler Alexander moving to the rotation.

The Tigers outrighted Krol to Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

He'll remain in the organization after clearing waivers when the Tigers designated him for assignment over the weekend. The 30-year-old lefty reliever has covered 12.1 innings out of the Detroit bullpen this season, giving up seven earned runs on 18 hits and five walks.

Krol was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krol had seven consecutive scoreless appearances following the All-Star break, but he struggled in his last three appearances and gave up six runs (five earned) in three innings. He'll be cast off the 40-man roster since Jose Urena is expected to be called up to start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Krol tossed a scoreless inning in Sunday's loss to Cleveland and has now gone eight straight appearances without allowing a run.

EDGE Analysis

The eight appearances translate to 8.2 innings, and despite allowing nine hits and three walks during that span versus just six strikeouts, Krol has been able to keep the opposition off the board. The 30-year-old may have a hard time continuing the scoreless streak if he keeps putting runners on at a decent clip without a ton of strikeouts, but he's at least gotten off to a good start with the Tigers this year after not pitching in the majors since 2018. Krol should maintain a middle relief role with a chance at more high-leverage work at some point if he keeps stringing together clean outings.

Krol had his contract selected by the Tigers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel Norris was traded to Milwaukee on Friday, and Krol will take his place on Detroit's 40-man and 26-man rosters. Krol has made five big-league appearances this year and allowed two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and two walks over 4.2 frames.

The Tigers outrighted Krol to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday after he cleared waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Krol will remain in the organization after the Tigers dropped him from the 40-man roster earlier this week. The 30-year-old lefty reliever made five appearances for Detroit, working 4.2 innings and giving up two earned runs.

The Tigers designated Krol for assignment Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krol was out of options, so a DFA was the only way to remove him from the active roster and clear a spot for Michael Fulmer (neck). After being called up July 7, the lefty allowed two runs in 4.2 innings while striking out four and walking two. Given his success, albeit in a small sample size, Krol could find himself back in the big-league bullpen this season if injuries create another opening.
