Tigers Hand Narleski Walking Papers and Open Door
Ray Narleski, once baseballs top AL reliever, was released by the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Manager Bob Scheffing offered a possible comeback with a move to Denver, and Narleski said he would consider it. The 32-year-old righty is attempting a spring comeback after missing 1960 with a back issue. Narleski returned home to Hadonnfield, N.J., as Detroit withheld his status. Scheffing said Narleski could still pitch in the majors if he adapts to a finesse style and keeps the ball down.
