In addition to prospects, the Tigers released right-hander Matt Mantei from his Triple-A Toledo contract. Leyland said Mantei wasn't ready to compete for a job. Mantei told Leyland that he'd take some time to weigh his future. 

"I wouldn't speculate what might happen," Leyland said. 

Mantei was quoted in the Detroit Free Press that he is interested in attempting to come back and pitch for the Tigers when his injury heals.
