Eligibility
Beau Brieske earned the save on Saturday against the Rays, recording the final out to secure the 4-2 win for the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Brieske took the mound after Alex Lange walked the bases loaded. The Tigers closer role could move to more of a committee.
Brieske worked a scoreless frame for High-A West Michigan on Saturday as he works his way back from a right ulnar nerve entrapment.
Fantasy Impact
He walked a hitter and didn't strike one out but kept his rehab outing scoreless in the process. It's possible Brieske will move up to Triple-A for his next rehab outing at some point this week. The 25-year-old hasn't pitched in the big leagues this season but worked to a decent 4.19 ERA across 15 starts as a rookie a season ago.
Beau Brieske is expected to start a rehab assignment on Wednesday with High-A West Michigan.
Fantasy Impact
Brieske has been sidelined since late March with right arm discomfort. He was shut down from throwing in late April, but appears to now be making good progress. Brieske will likely need to make a handful of rehab starts before making his return to the Tigers.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Beau Brieske will resume throwing this week after a procedure to aid right arm discomfort.
Fantasy Impact
After being diagnosed with an entrapment of the ulnar nerve in his elbow, Brieske underwent a nerve hydrodissection procedure and began the season on the injured list. He will resume throwing at the club's spring facility in Lakeland later this week. Brieske stepped up for a battered Tigers rotation last season, tossing a solid 4.19 ERA across 15 starts spanning 81 2/3 frames.
The Detroit Tigers are likely to place right-handed pitcher Beau Brieske on the injured list due to right upper arm discomfort.
Fantasy Impact
Brieske was vying for a bullpen and depth starting pitching spot in camp but struggled to a 9.28 ERA in six appearances before feeling discomfort in his throwing arm. The 24-year-old held his own in 15 starts for the Tigers last season, working to a 4.19 ERA across 81 2/3 innings of work, albeit with a tiny 15.9% K-rate. He'll need a minor-league rehab assignment before auditioning for a call-up at some point this season.
