Tigers Cut LHP Konnor Pilkington After Triple-A Struggles
Detroit released the southpaw following a minor league stint marked by poor control, with nearly as many walks as strikeouts in 33+ innings.
The Tigers have released left-handed pitcher Konnor Pilkington, who was signed to a minor league deal prior to Spring Training. Pilkington spent his entire time in the organization at Triple-A Toledo, where he posted a 5.40 ERA with a troubling 17.6% walk rate across 23 appearances. He recorded 28 walks against just 30 strikeouts in 33.1 innings. Pilkington's career Triple-A numbers now stand at a 6.02 ERA and 14.61% walk rate over 284 innings.
