Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Sunday's game
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Brieske will make his ninth start of the season and will likely cover an inning or two before exiting the contest. Ty Madden could serve as the primary pitcher, though Detroit hasn't officially announced its pitching plans for when Brieske leaves the game.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Takes loss Friday
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
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: Opening Sunday
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Brieske hasn't pitched since Wednesday, when he threw two innings while opening for Kenta Maeda. On Sunday, he should be expected to throw between one and three innings before exiting the game. Bryan Sammons is expected to follow Brieske in bulk relief.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Drawing opener assignment
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: Takes loss Friday
Brieske (1-3) allowed one run on a hit and two walks across an inning of work to take the loss Friday against the Yankees. He struck out one.
Brieske served as the opener and labored through a tough first inning, as he needed 30 pitches to finish the frame. The Tigers ended up getting blanked, so the one run was enough to saddle the righty with the loss. Brieske has now started five games this season among 29 appearances overall, but he's yet to cover more than three innings in any outing, so the starts aren't equating to opportunities for wins.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Serving as opener Friday
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Friday's game against the Yankees, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
It's the third straight assignment as an opener for Brieske, and he went a combined 4.1 scoreless innings in the first two. The former starter is capable of going deeper into games than most openers, but the role still limits his fantasy utility. Brant Hurter is a likely candidate for bulk relief Friday.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Wednesday's game
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Brieske turned in a strong outing when he worked as an opener in Friday's game against the Giants, striking out five batters over three scoreless innings in what matched his longest appearance of the season. He may be asked to handle a similar workload against Seattle before handing the game over to the bullpen. Bryan Sammons is available out of the bullpen on five days' rest and could be an option to serve as a bulk reliever behind Brieske.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Friday vs. Giants
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: Strong showing as opener
Brieske allowed one walk and struck out five over three scoreless and hitless innings while taking a no-decision Friday in the Tigers' 3-2 loss to the Giants.
Brieske made his third start of the season and matched his longest outing. He threw 31 of 49 pitches for strikes in the impressive turn as an opener, though it doesn't appear he has a path to the rotation at this time. He last functioned primarily as a starter in 2022 and has worked out of the bullpen for 24 of his 27 appearances in 2024. For the season, Brieske has a 4.57 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB over 41.1 innings.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Monday's contest
Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Jack Flaherty had been scheduled to start Monday, but the Tigers opted to scratch him so as not to risk exposing him to an injury that might jeopardize a trade prior to Tuesday's deadline. The Tigers will thus turn to Brieske to make his second start of the season, though like on the previous occasion he started July 14 against the Dodgers, he probably won't be counted on to cover more than an inning or two. Bryan Sammons was called up from Triple-A Toledo on Monday and could operate as a bulk reliever behind Brieske.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Takes first loss Wednesday
Brieske (1-1) allowed one run on a hit and two walks in an inning of relief to take the loss Wednesday against the Guardians.
Brieske entered in the eighth inning of a 1-1 game and walked his first hitter. He later intentionally walked Jose Ramirez and had a chance to escape without any damage, but a seeing-eye single by Josh Naylor with two outs brought home the go-ahead run. It's encouraging that Brieske was trusted with high-leverage work despite struggling lately, as the righty has a 7.59 ERA across 10.2 innings this month. He now has a 4.46 ERA for the season and doesn't have a ton of fantasy upside in his bullpen role.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Starting bullpen game
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
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
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
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
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
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.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Recalled from Triple-A
The Tigers recalled Brieske from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
Brieske has spent all of 2024 at Toledo, holding a 2.95 ERA and 22:11 K:BB over 21.2 frames. The right-hander has been used exclusively in relief for the first time this season but has gone multiple innings in eight of his 13 appearances, so he could offer some length to Detroit's bullpen.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Optioned to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
He was in the mix for one of the final spots in the Tigers' bullpen, but the team ultimately went with Joey Wentz and Alex Faedo. Brieske has experience both as a starter and a reliever, and it's not clear which role the club has planned for him at Toledo.
