Englert (1-1) tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Tuesday against the Brewers. He allowed one hit and struck out four.
Detroit starter Spencer Turnbull only lasted four innings, so the Tigers needed Englert and others to provide some length out of the bullpen. The righty responded with a strong performance. Englert has been mostly good this season outside of allowing five runs over two innings back on April 11. He's also done a solid job of missing bats, as he now has 16 strikeouts across 16 frames this year.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Pitches well Tuesday
Rotowire
Englert tossed three scoreless innings of relief in a 4-3 win over the Guardians during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. He allowed two hits and struck out two.
After starter Matthew Boyd went five innings, the Tigers turned to Englert, and he provided some valuable length out of the bullpen. The righty lowered his ERA from 6.30 to 4.85 in the process. Englert allowed five runs in an appearance last Tuesday, but outside of that poor outing, he's been a fairly solid long reliever. He should stick in that role for the time being on a Detroit team that doesn't have a ton of other great options.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Struggles Tuesday
Rotowire
Englert allowed five runs on four hits across two innings of relief in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He walked one and struck out four.
Starter Matt Manning was saddled with the loss in the 9-3 defeat, but Englert certainly didn't help Detroit's cause. The righty entered the game having allowed just one earned run across his first 5.1 innings, but after the rough outing, his ERA shot up to 7.36. Englert should remain in a middle-relief role with limited fantasy appeal.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Pitching well so far
Rotowire
Englert, who tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox, now has a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP this season.
It's a small sample size of just 5.1 innings, but Englert has looked good out of the bullpen. The righty only has one strikeout, however, so he may not be able to sustain his success if he doesn't miss more bats. Englert is locked into a middle-relief role for now, which limits his fantasy appeal, though he could see higher-leverage work down the road if he continues to pitch well.
