Lorenzen had struggled with the Blue Jays.
He went 0-2 with an 8.49 ERA in six games.
The 34-year-old also spent time with the Colorado Rockies earlier this year.
Looking At Lorenzen
Lorenzen was picked in the 1st round of the 2013 MLB Draft.
In addition to the Blue Jays, Rockies and Tigers, he has also spent time with the Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies over 12 total seasons.
In 2023, Lorenzen made the All-Star Game when he spent half of the season with the Tigers.
It will be interesting to see if he gets picked up by another MLB team before the 2027 season.
