Presley will replace right handed relief pitcher Bobby Parnell who was released by the Tigers on Thursday he pitched in six games in relief with a record of no wins and no losses but with an earned run average of 6.75 which was not good enough to keep him on their 25 man roster. Due to an injury to the left knee to center fielder Tyler Collins on Wednesday during the Tigers 4-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals and outfielder Cameron Maybin on the disabled list with a thumb injury. The Tigers needed the services of Presley on their 25 man roster on Thursday. Even though the bruise to the left knee to Collins is not likely to put him on the disabled list, the Tigers wanted to have Presley as their insurance outfielder for the time being.
