The Tigers have placed reliever Beau Brieske on the 60-day injured list with a left adductor strain.

Brieske was expected to begin the season on the IL, and the move was made official on Sunday with the club needing a 40-man roster spot for free-agent signee Connor Seabold. Brieske was a key cog in the Tigers' bullpen in 2024 with a 3.59 ERA in 46 outings, but injuries limited him to just 22 appearances in 2025.

Brieske slipped while working on his delivery during a routine workout recently, resulting in a left groin strain that forced him out of his scheduled Monday appearance.

He'll open the season on the injured list and is expected to miss at least the first couple weeks of the regular season.

Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske did not pitch on Monday despite being on the pitchers list against the Phillies.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said "we'll have an update tomorrow," indicating there could be an injury to the right-hander who dealt with a rib injury earlier in camp. Brieske was limited to just 22 outings last season due to injuries, but posted a 3.59 ERA in 46 appearances in the 2024 season.

A key member of the Tigers' bullpen as recently as 2024, injuries derailed Brieske's 2025 season and have sidelined him in camp this year. The right-hander still has a chance to crack the Opening Day roster if he can get healthy within the next couple of weeks.

Brieske (rib cage) exited Monday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta with right ribcage tightness. A bullpen session is planned for Saturday.

A successful Saturday session without complications could clear him to return to game action next week.
