Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The Detroit Tigers recalled pitcher Dontrelle Willis from Triple-A Toledo before Monday's game with the New York Yankees. After struggling with his control early this season, Willis was sent to Class- A Lakeland to regain his command. The veteran left-hander was then promoted to Toledo, where he was 3-2 with a 4.45 earned run average in six starts. Willis was 0-1 with a miserable 10.32 ERA with the Tigers before being sent to the minors. The veteran was acquired from the Florida Marlins in a blockbuster offseason trade that also brought Miguel Cabrera to the Motor City. With rosters now able to be expanded to 40, Detroit also made another move, recalling pitcher Freddy Dolsi from Toledo.
