Tigers' Michael Pineda: Set to start rehab assignment

Pineda (triceps) is expected to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo in the coming days, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

After a successful simulated game Wednesday, Pineda is now set to make two starts at Triple-A before the team makes a decision on whether or not to bring him back. Pineda has been out since July 24 after suffering a right triceps injury. Due to the fact that the Tigers are nowhere near playoff contention, they'll likely operate with little urgency to get him back into the rotation.
