LAKELAND, Fla. (CBS Detroit) -- The Detroit Tigers cut their Spring Training roster to 36 players on Monday, releasing pitcher Bobby Parnell and infielder Casey McGehee, and sending pitcher Bruce Rondon to Triple-A Toledo.

After missing all of the 2014 season due to Tommy John surgery, Rondon pitched in 35 games for the Tigers last season. He recorded a 1-0 record and tallied a 5.81 ERA.

Rondon was sent home by the team with 11 games remaining in the 2015 season due to a "lack of effort." He appeared in 10 games for the Tigers during Spring Training, amassing a 9.00 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 10 innings.

Parnell signed a minor league deal with the Tigers on Feb. 18 with an invitation to the organization's major league camp. The 31-year-old was expected compete for a role in the Tigers' bullpen after serving time as closer for the New York Mets.

McGehee was signed to a minor league contract after spending seven major league seasons with six different organizations.
