Schlereth was released from his minor-league contract with the Cubs on Sunday.

Schlereth reported to Iowa in May after inking the contract, but was dumped after walking six batters across three innings. The former first-round draft pick hasn't pitched in the majors since 2012.

Tigers acquired LHP Daniel Schlereth from the Pirates for cash considerations; assigned him to Triple-A Toledo.

Schlereth had a 3.98 ERA over 73 appearances with the Tigers from 2010-2012. The 28-year-old will function as organizational depth in his return. He had an ugly 7.23 ERA and 18/18 K/BB ratio over 18 2/3 innings this season with the Pirates' Triple-A affiliate.

Pirates signed LHP Daniel Schlereth to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Not so long ago, the son of ESPN NFL analyst Mark Schlereth was a prized prospect in both Arizona and Detroit. Tendinitis in his throwing shoulder began wreaking havoc on his career in 2012 and the Tigers pulled the plug on Schlereth last winter. The 27-year-old was only healthy enough to complete 11 innings for Triple-A Norfolk (Orioles) in 2013, though he only allowed one earned run in those 12 relief appearances.

Orioles signed LHP Daniel Schlereth to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The son of ESPN NFL analyst Mark Schlereth allowed 14 hits and 10 runs (eight earned) in seven innings this past season for the Tigers. He will serve as organizational left-handed relief depth now with Baltimore.

According to Thomas Harding of MLB.com, the Rockies are interested in free agent left-hander Daniel Schlereth.

Schlereth, who wasn't tendered a contract by the Tigers, was limited to just six appearances in 2012 before being shut down with shoulder tendinitis. While he owns a live arm, he's always battled bouts of wildness, owning a career 1.57 WHIP and 91/61 K/BB ratio over 93 innings.

The Tigers will not tender Daniel Schlereth a contract.

It's surprising given that Schlereth wasn't eligible for salary arbitration, but they must be really concerned about his shoulder. Schlereth missed most of 2012 while dealing with shoulder tendinitis and posted a 10.29 ERA in seven innings when he was healthy.

Daniel Schlereth (shoulder) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions.

Schlereth was placed on the disabled list in late April due to left shoulder tendinitis. The southpaw was given the option of surgery to repair damage, but it appears that therapy has done the job. There's no timetable for his return, though.

AN MRI taken Wednesday on Daniel Schlereth's ailing left shoulder showed no structural damage.

Good news. Schlereth is already performing range of motion exercises and should soon be cleared to resume throwing. He's been on the disabled list since late April.

Daniel Schlereth will be examined by Dr. Tom Noonan in Colorado after pain in his left shoulder forced him to cut short a bullpen session last Friday.

Schlereth was placed on the DL a week ago due to shoulder tendinitis, but the Tigers want to see if anything else is going on. "It was supposed to have been a 30-pitch bullpen session," Tigers head trainer Kevin Rand said. "It was cut at 15. Dr. Noonan's going to give a follow-up exam and offer a second opinion." We'll update Schlereth's status when more is known.

Tigers placed LHP Daniel Schlereth on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to April 21, with left shoulder tendinitis.

Schlereth was previously sent down to the minors in late April, but the option was voided due to the injury. The timeline for his return isn't yet known.

Tigers optioned LHP Daniel Schlereth to Triple-A Toledo.

This doesn't come as a surprise, as it had been speculated for the past few days. Schlereth surrendering another home run to Mike Napoli on Saturday certainly didn't help his cause though. Thad Weber will take his place in the Tigers bullpen.

Daniel Schlereth is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Friday.

No surprise here, as Schlereth has struggled mightily in the early going, posting a 12.60 ERA and 3.20 WHIP in his first five appearances. Brayan Villarreal is an option to replace him in the bullpen.

Tigers recalled LHP Daniel Schlereth from Triple-A Toledo.

The southpaw posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 29 total appearances earlier this season for the Tigers but has been fantastic since his demotion to Toledo, putting up a 0.77 ERA and 18/5 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 frames. He'll likely work in middle relief.

Tigers optioned LHP Daniel Schlereth to Triple-A Toledo.

The 25-year-old southpaw got off to a nice start earlier this season but will head to the minors having posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 29 total appearances.

Daniel Schlereth (hamstring) will return and pitch Saturday against the Blue Jays.

Schlereth has been shut down for over a week because of a left hamstring strain. He threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday, though, and was cleared for a weekend appearance by Thursday afternoon. He has plenty of time to get ready for the start of the season.

Daniel Schlereth (hamstring) threw a successful bullpen session on Tuesday in camp.

Schlereth was shut down last week after straining his left hamstring during a Grapefruit League appearance. The NFL analyst's son is hoping to get into a game this weekend and should be completely fine by Opening Day. He'll operate in middle relief this season.

Daniel Schlereth (hamstring) is expected to sit out for the next 10 days to two weeks.

Schlereth suffered a minor strain of his left hamstring during Monday's Grapefruit League game. If it were April or May, he probably wouldn't require the disabled list and probably wouldn't be forced to miss double-digit days, but the Tigers are going to play it safe here in early March.

Daniel Schlereth (hamstring) thinks he can begin throwing again within a week.

"This is very minor," said Schlereth, who left Monday's game with a left hamstring injury. The young left-hander isn't going to need many appearances to get ready for the season, anyway, so this shouldn't set him back too much.
