Parts ways with Detroit
The Tigers granted Pineda his release Wednesday after he cleared waivers.
ANALYSIS
Neither the non-contending Tigers nor Pineda likely had interest in keeping him around in the organization as pitching depth at Triple-A Toledo, so Detroit will eat the money remaining on his one-year, $5.5 million deal and allow him to get a head start on finding his next home. Given that the 33-year-old turned in an ugly 5.79 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a career-worst 9.0 K-BB% across 46.2 innings for Detroit on the season, playoff-hopeful teams might not have much interest in bringing him aboard down the stretch.

Pineda began the season as the Twins third starter, but three IL stints limited him to 22 appearances (21 starts). He missed time with thigh, forearm, and oblique issues. While on the hill, Pineda continued his trend of outpitching his ERA estimators as his 3.62 ERA was pegged low by the associated 4.29 xFIP and 4.36 SIERA. A 77.7% LOB mark was the cause as his BABIP and HR/FB rate were near league average. Pineda's 19.2% strikeout rate was a career low as his swinging strike mark was also a personal worst. At best, Pineda is a streaming option in mixed leagues, but his spotty health track record and declining strikeouts land him in the fungible bin in shallower leagues, the type of guy you pitch then ditch for favorable matchups. He signed a one-year deal with the Tigers, which will lead to some good matchups against the Royals and Guardians.
