The Detroit Tigers reinstated veteran infielder Josh Harrison from the 60-day injured list and released him on Friday.
Harrison, 32, played in just 36 games in his first season with the Tigers because of a hamstring injury. He hit .176 with a home run and 8 RBIs and made 34 starts at second base.
Harrison signed a one-year deal with the Tigers in February.
The two-time All-Star played the first eight seasons of his major league career with the Pittsburgh Pirates and has a career batting average of .273 with 53 home runs and 277 RBIs.
The Tigers also released right-hander Sandy Baez on Friday to create room on their 40-man roster for veteran right-hander Edwin Jackson, who will start Friday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals.
