Earlier this week, news came out that the Tigers had released Konnor Pilkington from their organization (h/t MLB Trade Rumors).

Evan Woodbery of MLive Media Group wrote: “Missed this earlier, but the Tigers released LHP Konnor Pilkington from Triple-A Toledo this week. Pilkington was in big-league camp with the Tigers this spring and has MLB experience with the Guards and Nationals.”
