Alex Lange Stats

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange pitched a perfect ninth inning in the team's 4-3 win over the Chicago White Sox. He allowed no hits or walks in a scoreless inning and earned his first save of the year. The 25-year-old right-hander has pitched well out of the bullpen this month. He's made nine appearances and has only surrendered a run on one occasion. He has a 1.86 ERA and 10 strikeouts over 9.2 innings in September. The Tigers have won three straight games and three different relievers have earned saves in those three games with Michael Fulmer and Kyle Funkhouser earning saves on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The Tigers may be going with a committee approach the rest of the way now that Gregory Soto (finger) is out for the season. Fulmer has 10 saves on the year and is the most likely option for saves, but we could get more clarity on the situation next time a save opportunity pops up.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Alex Lange (shoulder) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The righty exited Sunday's appearance against the Royals because of shoulder discomfort after putting away just one batter. The 25-year-old, who has spent time in Triple-A Toledo this season, is currently sitting on a miserable 7.31 ERA throughout 16 innings of service. He isn't worth much from a fantasy perspective, so managers aren't likely to lose much sleep anyway.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (arm) and relief pitcher Alex Lange (shoulder) were placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday after exiting Monday night's game early, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. Boyd exited his start on Monday night against the Royals in the third inning and now lands on the injured list with left arm discomfort. Later on in the game, Lange exited with right shoulder discomfort after facing four batters. Boyd's placement on the injured list is the bigger blow for Detroit, as he has been in the midst of a solid year that has seen him post a 3-6 record with a 3.44 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 70 2/3 innings of work. In corresponding moves, the Tigers recalled Miguel Del Pozo and Wily Peralta, although neither figures to be fantasy relevant.
