Anibal Sanchez joined Jorge De La Rosa and Clay Buchholz as starters who've recently been moved to the bullpen on Wednesday.

The Detroit Tigers will move the struggling right-hander to the 'pen, according to manager Brad Ausmus, as reported by Jason Beck of MLB.com.

"We're going to have to make an adjustment with Sanchy," Ausmus told Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press prior to the announcement. "Something's gotta be done, because we need better starts than that."

Ausmus did say, however, Sanchez will get an opportunity to pitch his way back into the rotation.

"He could work his way back into the rotation, but nothing promised," the skipper said.

As for who will fill the void in the rotation left by Sanchez, Detroit has made no announcement or corresponding roster move as of yet.

The 32-year-old missed a chunk of last season with right shoulder issues, while amassing his highest ERA (4.99) since 2008.

Sanchez has posted a 6.67 ERA in 11 starts, while allowing an American-league leading 14 home runs.
