Beau Brieske Fantasy Stats

Detroit Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske (elbow) had a setback in a recent bullpen session that will likely sideline him for the remainder of 2025, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. The 27-year-old was a key piece of the Tigers' pitching staff in 2024 but never got going in 2025. In 22 big-league innings this year, Brieske pitched to a 6.55 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with 16 strikeouts. He was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in mid-June. McCosky reports that Tigers general manager Jeff Greenberg said the team is not yet looking at surgery as an option for Brieske, so there's a chance that he'll be back in the bullpen mix for Detroit to start 2026.

The Detroit Tigers announced on Thursday that they optioned right-hander Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo and selected the contract of left-hander Matt Gage from Toledo in a corresponding move. To make room for Gage on the 40-man roster, right-handed pitching prospect Jackson Jobe (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list. Brieske gets the boot down to the farm after a rough outing on Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles in which he surrendered five runs in just one-third of an inning. The 27-year-old reliever has struggled in 2025 in his fourth year in the big leagues, going 1-3 with a career-worst 6.55 ERA, a 1.64 WHIP, one save, 16 K's and 12 walks in 22 innings pitched. Gage, 32, gets the call after posting a 1.67 ERA with 28 K's and only four walks in 32 1/3 innings for the MudHens. He allowed six runs (four earned) with nine walks and 20 K's in 19 2/3 big-league innings the last two years.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske will serve as the team's opener for Saturday's contest against the division-rival Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park, a day after the club clinched their first postseason berth in 10 years on Friday night. This will be Brieske's 12th start of the year for Detroit. The 26-year-old has gone 4-4 on the year with a 3.56 ERA, a 1.28 WHIP and 68 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings over 45 appearances (11 starts). His last start came on Sept. 14 against the Baltimore Orioles, when he went just one inning, walking two and striking out one. Brieske is only expected to go an inning or two in the second game of the series before being replaced by a bulk reliever, so we wouldn't recommend using him as a streamer in any fantasy formats. In his 11 starts in 2024, Brieske has gone only 14 2/3 innings, allowing nine runs (eight earned) while walking 11 and fanning 17.

The Detroit Tigers optioned right-hander Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. The Tigers now have 28 players remaining in major-league camp with Opening Day coming on Thursday. Brieske lost out to Joey Wentz and Alex Faedo for one of the last spots in Detroit's bullpen to start the year. The 25-year-old former 27th-round pick in 2019 out of Colorado State-Pueblo has made 40 appearances (16 starts) in the majors for the Tigers the last two years and has a 4.01 ERA (4.68 FIP), a 1.25 WHIP, two saves, 37 walks and 85 strikeouts in 116 2/3 innings pitched. The Tigers could elect to stretch him out in the minors to give them more flexibility if they call him up to the big-league roster this year.

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Beau Brieske recorded a two-inning save on Thursday, shutting down the Minnesota Twins in a 3-0 victory. Brieske didn't allow a baserunner and had no strikeouts. This is certainly an interesting development, as the Tigers' are in search of a ninth-inning option after Alex Lange's recent control issues got the better of him. Brieske has been great in a small sample size this year, pitching to a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 13 IP. All that being said, Jason Foley has been the Tigers' eighth-inning guy this year and may have just been getting some extra rest after pitching two of the previous three days. Keep an eye on this situation in deeper leagues for now.

Detroit Tigers rookie right-hander Beau Brieske (forearm) looked really good in his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Friday night, giving up one run on three hits while striking out eight and walking none in 4 1/3 innings of work. He has given up three runs on eight hits while striking out 10 and walking two in his two rehab starts since landing on the injured list in mid-July with right forearm fatigue. There's a chance that Friday's outing was his last before rejoining Detroit's starting rotation at some point next week. In his first 15 big-league starts in 2022, the 24-year-old has gone 3-6 with a 4.19 ERA (4.97 FIP), A 1.20 WHIP and a 54:25 K:BB in 81 2/3 innings pitched.

The Detroit Tigers placed rookie right-hander Beau Brieske (forearm) on the 15-day injured list with right forearm soreness on Thursday and reinstated right-hander Jose Cisnero from the bereavement list in a corresponding move. Brieske's injured list stint is retroactive to July 18. The 24-year-old won't be shut down from throwing, and the Tigers are optimistic that he'll only miss a couple turns through the starting rotation. Brieske had three straight quality starts before the All-Star break and went 3-6 with a 4.19 ERA and 1.20 WHIP while striking out 54 and walking 25 in 81 2/3 innings over 15 starts in the first half of his first big-league season. With a possible short IL stint, fantasy managers should hang onto Brieske in deeper leagues if they have the roster space.
