Will Vest Stats

Detroit Tigers pitcher Will Vest (illness) rejoined the team on Thursday after clearing the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He will ramp up his activity and pitch in a rehab game before returning to Detroit's bullpen. The 26-year-old is 1-for-1 in save opportunities while posting a 2.12 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and a 22:4 K:BB across 17 innings in 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to roster Vest in deep-league formats, as he could see some save chances if Detroit's primary closer, Gregory Soto, falters.

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Will Vest (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 and he has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The 26-year-old has been one of the team's best relievers out of the gate this year. Across 17 innings on the season, he's pitched to a 2.12 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP. He has an elite 36.7% strikeout rate (96th percentile) and he's walked a total of just four batters. There's a chance we'll see him earn some high leverage work including save chances at some point after he returns from the COVID-19 injured list. For now, however, Gregory Soto remains the team's primary closer.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Will Vest struck out two over 2/3 of a scoreless inning to earn the save during Friday's 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Gregory Soto entered the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. The 27-year-old plunked back-to-back batters, struck out one-hitter, and a walk that put the tying run on second base. Manager A.J. Hinch pulled Soto from the game for Vest, who struck out both batters he faced to earn his first career save. Vest has been efficient this season, posting 1.17 ERA, 0.46 WHIP, and a 20:3 K: BB across 15 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers should look to add Vest in all league formats as the right-hander could be Detroit's primary closer moving forward if Soto continues to struggle.
