Top Beau Brieske News

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Sent back to minors

    The Tigers optioned Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

    Brieske was knocked around for five runs while recording just one out in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles, pushing his ERA on the season to 6.55. He'll try to get back on track at Toledo.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Hit hard Wednesday

    Brieske allowed five runs on three hits and two walks while retiring just one batter in Wednesday's 10-1 loss to the Orioles.

    Brieske didn't factor into the decision Wednesday but did allow the game to get out of reach due to his poor performance. The righty saw his ERA climb from 4.57 to 6.55, which is a far cry from the 3.59 ERA he posted during the 2024 regular season. Brieske's FIP has also climbed from 3.50 to 5.37, so the underlying statistics indicate that he's taken a step backward in 2025 as well. He's firmly behind Will Vest and Tommy Kahnle in Detroit's bullpen pecking order at this point, and Brieske may see more low-leverage work until he can get back on track.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opens bullpen game

    Brieske did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing no hits and one walk over 1.1 scoreless innings against the White Sox. He struck out two.

    The right-hander got the bullpen game off to a solid start, handing things over in the second inning to Brant Hurter, who ultimately took the loss. Brieske has been highly effective recently, recording a 1.17 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over 7.2 innings across his last seven outings. He's expected to resume his usual role in the bullpen moving forward.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Tuesday's game

    Brieske will start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Brieske regularly served as an opener for Detroit last season and will receive his first start of 2025 on Tuesday. The right-hander has a 4.95 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB across 20 innings this season and isn't likely to pitcher longer than an inning or two versus Chicago.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Takes second loss

    Brieske (1-2) allowed one run on two hits across an inning of relief to take the loss Saturday against the Royals,

    Detroit starter Tarik Skubal logged seven scoreless innings but the Tigers were blanked on the day, which left Brieske with the loss when he allowed a run in the eighth. After compiling a 3.59 ERA and 69 strikeouts across 67.2 regular-season innings last year, the righty has been less effective in 2025 when healthy with a 4.95 ERA and 14 strikeouts across 20 innings. Brieske's 95.8 mph average fastball velocity is the same as 2024 however, so his stuff isn't noticeably different despite the dip in strikeout rate. Expect the 27-year-old to continue getting opportunities to rediscover his prior form.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Notches first save

    Brieske worked around two hits to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Friday's 5-4 win over Toronto. He did not record a walk or strikeout.

    Tommy Kahnle was dispatched in the eighth inning, and rather than bring Will Vest to close things out the Tigers opted to call in Brieske for the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. Brieske got the first two batters out, and after issuing consecutive singles he closed things out by getting Ernie Clement to ground out. It was Brieske's first save of the season, but he still has a 6.59 ERA and 1.54 WHIP over 13.2 innings.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Earns first win

    Brieske (1-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit over one inning of work but managed to earn the win in Tuesday's 10-9 victory over the Red Sox in 11 innings. He struck out two.

    Brieske allowed a home run in the 11th inning, which brought home the automatic runner and gave Boston a 9-7 lead. However, the reliever scooped up his first win of the season when the Tigers answered back with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Brieske missed a few weeks earlier in the year due to right ankle inflammation, and he's yet to really get going, as he's sitting with a 7.11 ERA across 12.2 innings. The righty recorded a 3.59 ERA across 67.2 regular-season innings in 2024.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Activated off IL

    The Tigers activated Brieske (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

    Brieske landed on the 15-day IL on April 18 due to right ankle inflammation. He made one rehab outing with High-A West Michigan on Wednesday, when he struck out two batters in a scoreless inning without allowing a hit or walk. To make room on the 26-man roster, the Tigers optioned Tyler Owens to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Beginning assignment Wednesday

    Brieske (ankle) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A West Michigan on Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Right ankle inflammation has kept Brieske on the injured list since April 18, and the Tigers will now look to get him a few reps in the minors before he's eligible to return May 3. The 27-year-old has allowed seven runs in just 7.1 innings this season, and he'll likely pitch in middle relief once activated.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Begins throwing program

    Brieske (ankle) began a throwing program Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Brieske landed on the 15-day injured list last Friday with right ankle inflammation but is ready to start ramping things up. The reliever is eligible to return in early May.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Goes on IL with ankle injury

    The Tigers placed Brieske on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ankle inflammation.

    It's not clear how long the ankle has been bothering Brieske, but perhaps it has contributed to his 8.59 ERA in seven appearances this season. Brenan Hanifee is taking his spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Yet to hit stride

    Brieske, who allowed a run during an inning of relief in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Royals, has an 8.59 ERA so far this season.

    Brieske has now allowed seven earned runs across 7.1 innings in 2025 and has only struck out four. Last year, the righty posted a 3.59 ERA and 69 strikeouts across 67.2 regular-season innings, emerging as one of Detroit's most dependable relievers. Brieske should be able to get back on track eventually, and as yet he hasn't been removed from his high-leverage role in the Tigers bullpen.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Blows first save chance

    Brieske (0-1) blew the save and took the loss in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers, coughing up five runs (four earned) on four hits while recording just one out.

    Dillon Dingler gave the Tigers a 5-3 lead in the top of the 10th inning with a two-run triple, setting the stage for Brieske's first save chance of the season. The right-hander instead melted down in spectacular fashion, giving up a leadoff double to Michael Conforto and a game-tying single to pinch hitter Will Smith before Mookie Betts walked it off with a three-run blast. Given his lack of a track record in the ninth-inning role, Brieske's leash is likely short -- even with Jason Foley beginning the season in Triple-A, the Tigers could turn to Tyler Holton, Tommy Kahnle or Will Vest to protect a late lead if Brieske continues to falter.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Should be in mix for saves

    Brieske has given up four runs with a 5:1 K:BB over six innings during spring training, and he is expected to be an option to close out games for manager A.J. Hinch this season.

    The right-hander recorded just one save during the regular season last year but recorded two more in the playoffs as he finished the year as one of Hinch's most-trusted relievers. Including the postseason, Brieske had a 1.91 ERA across his final 37.2 frames in 2024, priming him to fill a high-leverage role this year. Hinch isn't officially expected to name a closer in the near future, but Brieske, Tyler Holton and Jason Foley should be the main options for saves, with Foley being the early favorite after recording 28 saves during the regular season last year.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Notches new deal with Detroit

    Brieske agreed on a one-year, $1.025 million contract with the Tigers on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Brieske and Detroit were able to reach an agreement before Thursday's deadline. The right-hander produced a 3.59 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with 69 strikeouts, six holds and a save over 67.2 innings in 46 regular-season appearances, including 12 starts, with the Tigers in 2024. Brieske will likely occupy a significant role in the team's bullpen again in 2025.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Opening Saturday

    Brieske will open Saturday's game versus the White Sox.

    Brieske will make his 12th start of the year Saturday, and he carries a 4.91 ERA and 1.77 WHIP through 14.2 innings across his past 11 opening assignments. He'll likely only remain in the game for an inning or two before handing the game over to the Tigers' bullpen, though he has reached three frames twice this season.

  • Tigers' Beau Brieske: Earns big win Friday

    Brieske (4-4) tossed two perfect innings of relief to earn the win Thursday against the Rays.

    Brieske didn't strike anyone out, but he was still efficient and helped Detroit pick up a come-from-behind, 4-3 victory. The righty just earned his first save of the season Tuesday, and he followed that up with a critical win as the Tigers narrow in on a playoff spot. If Detroit does ultimately advance to the postseason, Brieske figures to have a high-leverage and versatile role out of the bullpen. He has a 3.56 ERA and 68 strikeouts across 65.2 innings this year.
