Krol was traded to the Braves Friday in exchange for Cameron Maybin.

EDGE Analysis

Krol split time between Triple-A and the majors in 2015, working to a 2.30 ERA with 34 strikeouts in 31.1 innings in the minors but struggling to a 5.79 ERA with 17 walks in 28 innings in the big leagues. The 24-year-old should serve as a left-handed option out of the Braves bullpen.

Krol was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Anthony French of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Krol struggled as a member of the Tigers earlier this season, posting a disappointing 6.75 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 26 games out of the bullpen. As such, he's unlikely to take the hill in high-leverage situations down the stretch.

Krol is expected to be called up by the Tigers on Tuesday, MLB.com's Jason Beck reports.

EDGE Analysis

Having pitched to a 6.75 ERA and 2.02 WHIP in 26 games with the Tigers earlier this year, Krol's not likely to see high-leverage work and can thus be ignored in most fantasy circles.

Krol was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Matthew Mowery of The Oakland Press reports. Krol has been sensational during his time in the minors this season, recording a 0.89 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and a 22:9 K:BB ratio over 20.1 innings at Toledo. Unfortunately, he's been torched during his time in the majors this season, with walking batters being particularly problematic. Expect the Tigers to use him in mostly low-leverage situations until he demonstrates he can command the ball better.

Krol was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, MLive's Chris Iott reports. The move will make room for Buck Farmer, who will be recalled to make a spot start Wednesday. With this in mind, Krol may soon be recalled to return to the back of the Tigers' bullpen, but for now he will offer depth at Triple-A.

Krol will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo prior to Friday's game. He has pitched 15.2 innings in relief at Toledo this year and has a 1.15 ERA, but that success has yet to translate to the big leagues. Krol has already been up with the Tigers, and had a 4.76 ERA in 5.2 innings. He will be used in low-leverage situations.

Krol was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday's game. Krol has made six appearances so far for the Tigers in 2015, striking out five and allowing three earned runs over 5.2 frames. He had pitched on three of the last four days, however, so the team likely needed to make a move for bullpen help after starter David Price lasted just 2.1 innings Wednesday. Alex Wilson had his contract purchased from Triple-A Toledo, and will likely take a short-term role in the pen. This probably isn't the last Tigers' fans have seen of Krol this year.

Krol was mentioned by Tigers' manager Brad Ausmus as a pitcher he might use in the eighth inning now that Joe Nathan has gone on the disabled list, according to the Detroit Free Press. Krol struck out two Twins in an inning's work Wednesday, but it's hard for us to believe a lefty specialist will be trusted as a high-leverage shutdown guy, unless his effectiveness against righties improves dramatically. However, he did deliver 10 holds last season, so he may help you short term if your league counts that category.

Krol has officially earned an Opening Day roster spot with the Tigers, MLB.com's Jason Beck reports. Krol gave up four earned runs on nine hits over 9.2 innings this spring, but the left-hander has proven his worth in specialist situations, and that was enough to earn him a roster spot. The 23-year-old had a 4.96 ERA over 32.2 innings (spread across 45 appearances) in 2014, and should see a similar role in the upcoming season.

Krol has tossed a pair of scoreless innings since returning from a minor forearm injury. For the spring, he's carrying a 3.38 ERA over eight appearances in Grapefruit League play. Krol is a strong candidate to crack the Tigers' Opening Day roster with his performance in Florida, in addition to Bruce Rondon's placement on the 15-day DL to begin the year.
