Miner back with Tigers: The Kansas City Royals traded starting pitcher Zach Miner to Detroit on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, the team announced. Miner, who is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery in 2010, was unable to land a spot in the Royals' rotation this spring. He will report to Double-A Erie on Saturday.

Fantasy Analysis
Miner spent time at the Double-A and Triple-A level last year, but excelled with Triple-A Omaha. The right-hander went 2-1 with a 1.59 ERA in 12 relief appearances. He could be used as a starter for the Tigers, but is considered a marginal Fantasy option for now. (Updated 04/20/2012).
