RHP Dustin Molleken had his contract purchased from Triple-A Toledo on Monday by Detroit and will work out of the Tigers' beleaguered bullpen. Mollekin, 31, was picked by Pittsburgh in the 15th round of the 2003 draft and is getting his first shot at the majors after pitching for 11 different teams in the minors covering 13 seasons. He was working as a swing man for the Mud Hens and had a 1-3 record with a 3.765 ERA in 23 games, four of them starts. "We need an arm," manager Brad Ausmus said. "The bullpen's shot. We saw him in spring training. Hard thrower, good arm. Nowadays, there's a lot of hard throwers out there. Sometimes it's just a lack of opportunity. We'll find out."
