The Detroit Tigers have agreed to a minor league contract with pitcher Freddy Garcia and have promoted Dontrelle Willis to Triple-A Toledo.
Garcia had been a free agent since he pitched for Philadelphia in 2007. The right-hander previously pitched for the Chicago White Sox and the Seattle Mariners.
Willis, sent to Class-A Lakeland in June to work on his control, is scheduled to pitch Friday for the Mud Hens. In five major league games and 11 1-3 innings this season, Willis is 0-1 with a 10.32 ERA.
