Brieske (1-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit over one inning of work but managed to earn the win in Tuesday's 10-9 victory over the Red Sox in 11 innings. He struck out two.
Brieske allowed a home run in the 11th inning, which brought home the automatic runner and gave Boston a 9-7 lead. However, the reliever scooped up his first win of the season when the Tigers answered back with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Brieske missed a few weeks earlier in the year due to right ankle inflammation, and he's yet to really get going, as he's sitting with a 7.11 ERA across 12.2 innings. The righty recorded a 3.59 ERA across 67.2 regular-season innings in 2024.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Activated off IL
Rotowire
The Tigers activated Brieske (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Brieske landed on the 15-day IL on April 18 due to right ankle inflammation. He made one rehab outing with High-A West Michigan on Wednesday, when he struck out two batters in a scoreless inning without allowing a hit or walk. To make room on the 26-man roster, the Tigers optioned Tyler Owens to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.
Brieske (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A West Michigan on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Right ankle inflammation has kept Brieske on the injured list since April 18, and the Tigers will now look to get him a few reps in the minors before he's eligible to return May 3. The 27-year-old has allowed seven runs in just 7.1 innings this season, and he'll likely pitch in middle relief once activated.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Goes on IL with ankle injury
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Brieske on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ankle inflammation.
It's not clear how long the ankle has been bothering Brieske, but perhaps it has contributed to his 8.59 ERA in seven appearances this season. Brenan Hanifee is taking his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Yet to hit stride
Rotowire
Brieske, who allowed a run during an inning of relief in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Royals, has an 8.59 ERA so far this season.
Brieske has now allowed seven earned runs across 7.1 innings in 2025 and has only struck out four. Last year, the righty posted a 3.59 ERA and 69 strikeouts across 67.2 regular-season innings, emerging as one of Detroit's most dependable relievers. Brieske should be able to get back on track eventually, and as yet he hasn't been removed from his high-leverage role in the Tigers bullpen.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Should be in mix for saves
Rotowire
Brieske has given up four runs with a 5:1 K:BB over six innings during spring training, and he is expected to be an option to close out games for manager A.J. Hinch this season.
The right-hander recorded just one save during the regular season last year but recorded two more in the playoffs as he finished the year as one of Hinch's most-trusted relievers. Including the postseason, Brieske had a 1.91 ERA across his final 37.2 frames in 2024, priming him to fill a high-leverage role this year. Hinch isn't officially expected to name a closer in the near future, but Brieske, Tyler Holton and Jason Foley should be the main options for saves, with Foley being the early favorite after recording 28 saves during the regular season last year.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Notches new deal with Detroit
Rotowire
Brieske agreed on a one-year, $1.025 million contract with the Tigers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Brieske and Detroit were able to reach an agreement before Thursday's deadline. The right-hander produced a 3.59 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 69 strikeouts, six holds and a save over 67.2 innings in 46 regular-season appearances, including 12 starts, with the Tigers in 2024. Brieske will likely occupy a significant role in the team's bullpen again in 2025.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Earns big win Friday
Rotowire
Brieske (4-4) tossed two perfect innings of relief to earn the win Thursday against the Rays.
Brieske didn't strike anyone out, but he was still efficient and helped Detroit pick up a come-from-behind, 4-3 victory. The righty just earned his first save of the season Tuesday, and he followed that up with a critical win as the Tigers narrow in on a playoff spot. If Detroit does ultimately advance to the postseason, Brieske figures to have a high-leverage and versatile role out of the bullpen. He has a 3.56 ERA and 68 strikeouts across 65.2 innings this year.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Secures win Saturday
Rotowire
Brieske (3-4) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Orioles. He walked one and struck out one.
Brieske pitched the last two innings of the game, which went into extra innings, and he earned the win when the Tigers scored twice in the top of the 10th. The righty has been a versatile reliever for Detroit this season, often working as a opener and giving the team multiple innings. He has a 3.65 ERA and 65 strikeouts across 61.2 innings this year.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Takes loss Friday
Rotowire
Brieske (2-4) allowed two unearned runs on two hits across 1.1 innings of relief to take the loss Friday against the Athletics. He walked one and struck out one.
Brieske was tasked with extending the game beyond the 13th inning after giving up a game-tying sacrifice fly in the 12th, but he allowed Seth Brown to deliver the walk-off single. The righty reliever snapped a streak of three straight scoreless appearances, though with the runs being unearned, he lowered his ERA since the beginning of August to 2.45. For the season, Brieske has a 4.14 ERA and 56 strikeouts across 54.1 innings.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
The right-hander will serve as an opener for the eighth time this season, though he hasn't pitched particularly well in the role with eight earned runs allowed and a 12:5 K:BB across 10 innings. The Tigers have officially announced the rest of their pitching plans, but either Ty Madden or Brant Hurter should be in line to work in bulk relief behind Brieske.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Drawing opener assignment
Rotowire
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Manager A.J. Hinch hasn't outlined the Tigers' pitching plan for Wednesday, but Brieske will take the hill on two days' rest and should be able to cover somewhere between one and three innings before turning the game over to the bullpen. Kenta Maeda tossed 5.2 scoreless innings in his last appearance Thursday versus the Mariners and should operate as a bulk reliever behind Brieske.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Friday vs. Giants
Rotowire
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opener for Friday's contest against the Giants, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Brieske will technically be making his third start of the season Friday. He got roughed up in his last assignment as an opener against the Guardians on July 29, taking the loss while allowing three runs on five hits and striking out one batter across 0.2 frames. Both Brant Hurter and Kenta Maeda are options to serve in bulk relief once Brieske is done for the evening.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Starting bullpen game
Rotowire
Brieske will start Sunday against the Dodgers in what will be a bullpen day for the Tigers, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Sunday will mark Brieske's first start of the season, as the Tigers will rely on their bullpen to get them through the final game of the first half. The right-hander owns a 3.52 ERA and 1.04 WHIP through 30.2 innings this season, and he's reached two innings or more in eight of his 18 appearances.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Earns first hold
Rotowire
Brieske worked around a hit to toss two scoreless innings of relief and earn a hold in Friday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.
The hold is the first of the season for Brieske and the fifth of his career. Since starting 15 games as a rookie in 2022, the righty has transitioned to the bullpen for the Tigers, and he's been an effective long reliever this year. Brieske has logged 20.1 innings across his 11 appearances, posting a 2.66 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. While the numbers are good, his fantasy value is limited in his current role.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Looks sharp Tuesday
Rotowire
Brieske tossed 2.1 scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta. He struck out two.
Brieske helped keep Detroit in the game but didn't get enough run support to possibly scoop up his second win of the season. The righty allowed two earned runs in consecutive outings earlier this month, but since then he's rattled off four straight scoreless innings. Overall, Brieske has a solid 2.95 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 18.1 innings this year.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Ineffective against Brewers
Rotowire
Brieske allowed two runs on three hits across two innings of relief in Friday's 10-0 loss to the Brewers. He walked two and struck out two.
The game was already essentially over after Detroit starter Reese Olson allowed eight runs over four innings, but Brieske didn't help matters. Even after the rough appearance, the righty still has a 2.70 ERA, and he's only been scored upon twice in seven appearances this season. Brieske should stick in a long-relief role for the Tigers, giving him limited fantasy appeal at the moment despite his good play.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Shuts door for first win
Rotowire
Brieske (1-0) tossed three scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Monday's 2-1 victory against the Rangers. He allowed one hit and struck out four.
After six solid innings from starter Tarik Skubal, Brieske came in and looked just as sharp as the team's ace. Brieske has been stellar so far for the Tigers, posting a 1.59 ERA across 11.1 innings, having been scored upon only once in six appearances. The righty's fantasy value is limited as a long reliever, though he'd get a boost if he sees more high-leverage work due to his strong play.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Makes season debut Wednesday
Rotowire
Brieske tossed a scoreless inning of relief in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to the Marlins. He allowed a hit and a walk, while striking out one.
Brieske was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday and made his 2024 debut for the Tigers in this one. The righty, who made 15 starts for Detroit back in 2022, worked exclusively in relief for Toledo, where he compiled a strong 2.95 ERA and 22:11 K:BB over 21.2 innings. However, as a former starter, Brieske may be able to give the Tigers some length from the bullpen for however long he sticks around.
