Right-hander Virgil Vasquez was recalled by the Tigers from Triple-A Toledo to start the second game of a doubleheader tonight against the Chicago White Sox, and right-hander Jose Capellan was optioned to Toledo to clear a roster spot.

Capellan, who pitched two scoreless innings Sunday, was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers for Chris Cody on July 1. He appeared in six games for the Tigers, going 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA.

It continues to be expected that left-handed reliever Tim Byrdak will be activated from the disabled list and take Vasquez’s spot on the roster Wednesday. Byrdak was in the Tigers’ clubhouse today.
