DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers shuffled their bullpen with several roster moves Tuesday.

After Max Scherzer was scratched from Tuesday's start and replaced by long reliever Duane Below, the Tigers sent right-hander Luis Marte and infielder Danny Worth to Triple-A Toledo.

Detroit recalled right-hander Jose Ortega from Toledo and purchased the contract of left-hander Darin Downs from the Mud Hens.

The Tigers designated Toledo outfielder Matt Young for assignment to make room for Downs on the 40-man roster.
