Brenan Hanifee

The Detroit Tigers have optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo.

Fantasy Impact

Hanifee worked 1.1 innings in Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers, giving up two unearned runs on three hits. Despite posting a 2.25 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over eight innings this season, he’ll be sent down to the minors to clear a roster spot for Keider Montero, who is set to start Wednesday’s game.

Brenan Hanifee delivered a solid performance, throwing 2.0 scoreless innings with one strikeout as the opener in the Tigers' narrow 4-3 defeat to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

His outing was marked by efficiency, allowing no hits and just one walk over 28 pitches. This appearance lowers his ERA to 3.00 and WHIP to 1.00 for the season, continuing a trend of effective, albeit low-strikeout, relief outings. Hanifee's low BABIP (.176) suggests some luck in play, but his consistent control is a positive sign. While he remains off the radar for saves or holds, his ability to limit runs and eat innings could make him a speculative add in deep leagues where innings and ERA are at a premium.

The Tigers selected the contract of Brenan Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo.

Fantasy Impact

Hanifee has posted a 5.17 ERA across 47 innings in the minor leagues this season. He made three relief appearances for Detroit last year.
