News summary

Detroit Tigers' struggling pitcher Kenta Maeda, with a 7.26 ERA, has been moved to the bullpen 'for the foreseeable future' after a string of poor performances, prompting the team to reconsider their rotation strategy. Maeda, on a two-year, $24 million deal, has faced challenges this season, leading to this strategic shift by manager A.J. Hinch. The Tigers plan to assess their pitching options during the All-Star break and may opt for a bullpen game instead of starting Maeda. Despite Maeda's veteran status, his recent struggles have necessitated this move to enhance the team's performance and pitching dynamics. This decision marks a significant transition for Maeda, who has limited bullpen experience but will now have to adjust to this new role to contribute effectively to the team's needs.
