The Tigers were pretty clear about their intentions for their September call-ups — Justyn-Henry Malloy, Chase Lee, and Sawyer Gipson-Long — before they made the initial roster moves to recall just Malloy and Lee. He spent all of a single day on the roster, didn't pitch, and then was sent down. Why didn't the Tigers just call up Gipson-Long instead of Lee in the first place if they weren't absolutely sure they'd use him on Monday? Tigers demote Chase Lee after one day (and without playing him) to promote Sawyer Gipson-Long for Tuesday start vs. MetsLee was really the only option to be sent down. At least he will have been in the majors for a clear reason, unlike whatever it was the Tigers were doing with Lee.
