Struggles but wraps up win Farmer allowed three earned runs on four hits in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Cubs.
Impact Farmer entered in a non-save situation with the Tigers up 7-3, but he quickly got into trouble, starting the frame by allowing four straight hits. He almost gave up a go-ahead home run on a fifth straight hit, but Anthony Rizzo's deep fly was caught right in front of the center field wall. Farmer wiggled out of the jam from there, retiring Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber to end the game. Manager Ron Gardenhire said after the game that Joe Jimenez is no longer the closer, and Farmer, Gregory Soto and Jose Cisnero are expected to split save chances going forward based on matchups, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

Lands on injured list Farmer was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain Monday.
Impact Farmer bounced back Sunday following a rough appearance Friday, but he apparently didn't escape unscathed as he'll spend some time on the shelf. It's unclear how long he'll spend on the injured list, but Gregory Soto could step into more of a setup role in Detroit in Farmer's absence. Right-hander Beau Burrows was recalled by the Tigers in a corresponding move.

Struggles Friday Farmer allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk while retiring just a single batter in Friday's 17-13, 11-inning win over the Pirates.
Impact Like a number of pitchers in this wild game, Farmer was hit hard. The righty entered the contest having allowed just one walk and no hits across his first five innings pitched this season, so it's probably best to just chalk up the rough appearance as an off night. Farmer should bounce back and continue to serve as a fairly reliable option for the Tigers in a setup role ahead of Joe Jimenez, who also struggled Friday and blew his first save of the season by allowing three runs in the ninth.
