Tigers Place Trey Wingenter On 15-Day IL

By Mark Polishuk | April 22, 2023 at 6:09pm CDT

The Tigers placed right-hander Trey Wingenter on the 15-day injured list due to tendinitis in his throwing shoulder.  Wingenter’s placement is retroactive to April 19.  Righty Will Vest was called up from Triple-A in the corresponding move.

The IL stint adds to an overall tough start to the season for Wingenter, who has an 8.31 ERA over six appearances and 4 1/3 innings of work.  While it’s hard to extrapolate from such a small sample size, it does seem like Wingenter has been unlucky to post such a large ERA —- his SIERA is a much more respectable 3.83, while his BABIP is a hefty .385.

Some rust was probably to be expected given that Wingenter has pitched only three innings of rookie ball since the start of the 2020 season.  Due to Tommy John surgery and then a variety of elbow and back problems, Wingenter’s three innings of rehab assignment work marked his only action over three full seasons.  Given his checkered injury history, the hope is that Wingenter’s latest IL visit will prove to be a short one, and it could be that the tendinitis is simply a side effect from getting back to pitching on a regular basis.

Prior to that extended layoff, Wingenter showed some promise as a high-velocity, high-strikeout relief arm over 70 innings with the Padres in 2018-19.  He signed a minor league deal with Detroit over the offseason and looked very good in Spring Training, earning himself a role on the Tigers’ Opening Day roster.

    I’m still holding out hope that he can be a positive factor to the Detroit bullpen.

    I have high hopes for him too. Hopefully he’ll be back soon. In the meantime maybe Vest can turn back the clock and pitch like he did last year.

      Andy Ibanez is a no-bat utility guy. The fact he’s doing well in AAA is telling.

    I really hope Javier Baez opts out. Even at his salary, Eduardo Rodriguez can be traded. The Mets and Cardinals are prime targets but wait until the deadline. Baez is untraceable unless you want Aaron Hicks.

      The only way he opts out is personal pride. Booing.and heckling him or sitting him and never playing him….even in any game, even spring training games.
      And even then, he would be an idiot and a woos to opt out.

      The money he is earning is life changing and even generational for the frugal man. He is too smart of a man to p away that money on vanities like a super car ect….
      Any one living in reality knows no way he opts out…only if he is stupid and he is not stupid.

      Ever get up at 5 am to earn minimum wage…..? Work a tough physically demanding job for minimum or near minimum?

      Some of us have.

      Time to bring up Justyn Henry-Malloy. He’s knocking the cover off the ball at AAA.

        So is Andy Ibanez. Oddly, he’s been absent for the last 3 or 4 games in Toledo.

          I’d take him over Nevin. So far he has looked horrible.

    The Tigers have problems, but I don’t think the pitching is that bad. The hitting has looked bad the last two games, but they are not getting blown away either. That can change on a dime as well. I think this new play everyone schedule is helping poor teams to spread their wealth around the league, as in fewer real bad teams in any division. Mediocre is good when the analytics are so good the defense is always standing where the ball is hit.

    The average Tiger fan who’s still watching tends to gaze south to Toledo, to any hot bat down there. That’s great, but when they arrive up, the hitting stops. The good news is they are hitting home runs this year, but so is the whole leagues. I’ll continue to watch because for the most part the low hitting averages are league wise, it’s just that Detroit doesn’t have any consistent good hitters leading the team off for the first 1-6 spots. Oh well, baseball has changed, so we’ll just wait till next year when at least two more hitting slots opens up. There is always next year, and the average fan lives for that hope.

    I though Wingenter pitched well, aside from his first outing of the year. He also got tagged for a couple runs in Toronto, but it was the heart of a loaded roster that scored those runs.

      …that is the level of competition the Tigers need to rise to, in order to win the World Series?

        Right on. But, just like most hitters “fail” 75% of the time, pitchers “fail”, too. They’ll typically allow (on average) a run every 2 innings. Just because a pitcher is allowing runs, they’re not actually failures. It seems a lot of people forget that.

          Truthfully, I don’t know anything about the guy. I hope he does well. But I do know that if Tiger fans had stuck to drinking corn liquor instead of Kool-Aid they would feel more the way I do and we would be further along in this “rebuild”. In fact, there probably never would have been a “rebuild”. It would have not been tolerated.

    How bad can you be
    Tigers 3 runs in 3 games this weekend
    E Rod gives up a single in 8 innings and they still lose
    Scott Harris should clean house
    Bring up the kids, what’s the difference

    Prospects are ruined by not being played full time. I thought Ron Gardenhire didn’t help by playing veterans over prospects. The team isn’t going to win any more games that matter using poor veterans over prospects. At least there’s a chance prospects develop over time. The Tigers just hoped the veterans performed well enough to be traded for more prospects that they would mismanage and play even more veterans over.

    Don’t repeat the last 6 years.
