The American League-leading Detroit Tigers recalled left-hander Matt Gage on Thursday, while right-hander Beau Brieske was optioned to Triple-A Toledo.
To make room on the 40-man roster, right-hander Jackson Jobe (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list. The rookie reportedly is headed for Tommy John surgery.

Brieske, 27, is 1-3 with a 6.55 ERA and one save in 22 appearances (one start) this season. In parts of four seasons with the Tigers, he is 10-17 with a 4.14 ERA and four saves in 108 games (29 starts).
Jobe, 22, was 4-1 with a 4.22 ERA in 10 starts this season. He last pitched May 28 against the San Francisco Giants when he gave up three runs on seven hits in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision.
