Joe Rizzo: Cut by Tigers

The Tigers released Rizzo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Rizzo was traded to Detroit from Miami in June, and he has since slashed .299/.358/.518 with six homers and 28 RBI in 151 plate appearances at Triple-A Toledo. Despite his impressive run, Rizzo will now enter the open market and should be able to latch on with another team fairly easily.
