Jun 12 2025 | The Tigers optioned Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jun 11 2025 | Brieske allowed five runs on three hits and two walks while retiring just one batter in Wednesday's 10-1 loss to the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske didn't factor into the decision Wednesday but he 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 way 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 he may see more low-leverage work until he can get back on track. |
|
Jun 3 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jun 1 2025 | Brieske (1-2) allowed one run on two hits across an inning of relief to take the loss Saturday against the Royals, | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
May 16 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
May 13 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
May 3 2025 | The Tigers activated Brieske (ankle) from the 15-day injured list Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Apr 18 2025 | The Tigers placed Brieske on the 15-day injured list Friday with right ankle inflammation. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Mar 29 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Mar 21 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jan 9 2025 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Sep 28 2024 | Brieske will open Saturday's game versus the White Sox. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Sep 27 2024 | Brieske (4-4) tossed two perfect innings of relief to earn the win Thursday against the Rays. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Sep 24 2024 | Brieske earned the save in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Rays, allowing one run on one hit over two innings. He struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske hadn't allowed an earned run in 12.2 innings before he gave up a solo homer to Brandon Lowe with two outs in the ninth Tuesday. However, Brieske rebounded to strike out Josh Lowe for the final out, securing his first save in 2024. The 26-year-old right-hander has earned a higher-leverage role with the Tigers down the stretch. Brieske's ERA now sits at 3.68 with a 1.32 WHIP and 68:30 K:BB through 63.2 innings this season. |
|
Sep 22 2024 | Brieske (3-4) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Orioles. He walked one and struck out one. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske pitched the last two innings of the game, which went into extra innings, and he earned the win when the Tigers scored twice in the top of the 10th. The righty has been a versatile reliever for Detroit this season, often working as a opener and giving the team multiple innings. He has a 3.65 ERA and 65 strikeouts across 61.2 innings this year. |
|
Sep 14 2024 | Brieske will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against Baltimore, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske worked as the opener Friday and pitched 1.1 scoreless innings without allowing a baserunner. He should work one or two more innings Saturday and is expected to give way to Ty Madden. |
|
Sep 13 2024 | Brieske will serve as the opener Friday against the Orioles. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Lefty Brant Hurter will likely come in after Brieske faces five or six batters. Brieske has a 5.84 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 12.1 innings while working as an opener this season. |
|
Sep 8 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Athletics. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Sep 7 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Sep 1 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Aug 24 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 handing the ball off. Bryan Sammons is expected to follow Brieske in bulk relief. |
|
Aug 21 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Aug 17 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Aug 16 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Friday's game against the Yankees, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It's the third straight appearance for Brieske in which he'll serve as an opener after 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, whether that happens Friday could depend on how he's faring. Brant Hurter is a likely candidate for bulk relief Friday. |
|
Aug 13 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opener for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 -- equaling 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. |
|
Aug 9 2024 | Brieske allowed one walk and struck out five over three scoreless and hitless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske made his third start of the year 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 year, Brieske has a 4.57 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 45:15 K:BB over 41.1 innings. |
|
Jul 29 2024 | Brieske will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jul 24 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jul 13 2024 | Brieske will start Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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 year, and he's reached two innings or more in eight of his 18 appearances. |
|
Jun 22 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jun 19 2024 | Brieske tossed 2.1 scoreless innings of relief in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Atlanta. He struck out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jun 8 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Jun 3 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
May 15 2024 | 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. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
May 13 2024 | The Tigers recalled Brieske from Triple-A Toledo on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Mar 26 2024 | The Tigers optioned Brieske to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: 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. |
|
Mar 3 2024 | Brieske has adjusted the grip on his slider over the offseason to give the pitch more spin, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske said his previous slider acted more like a cutter at times, but he's adjusted his grip to hold the ball deeper in his hand and develop more spin. In his first spring appearance, the average spin rate of the pitch sat at 2,399 rpm, up 200 revolutions from last season, while the slider's speed was down a few ticks. He followed that performance with two more scoreless innings Saturday. Brieske had some success in a bullpen role last year, posting a 3.60 ERA across 35 innings, and he could take a step forward if his new slider is effective. |
|
Sep 17 2023 | Brieske tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Angels. He didn't allow any hits or walks and struck out three. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After Sawyer Gipson-Long pitched five effective innings to start the game, Brieske cruised through the seventh and eighth. The righty has worked almost exclusively as a reliever this year, with just one start in 22 appearances. Brieske has been fairly good in the role with a 3.99 ERA, and it's possible he rejoins the rotation mix in 2024 after making 15 starts last year for the Tigers. |
|
Sep 6 2023 | Brieske (1-3) allowed three runs on four hits across 1.2 innings to take the loss Wednesday against the Yankees. He walked three and had no strikeouts. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske was forced into action in the second inning after starter Matt Manning left early with what was later determined to be a fractured right foot. The former struggled, but it can be somewhat forgiven considering the tough circumstances. Brieske could be asked to take Manning's rotation spot for the rest of the season, as he has made 16 starts for the Tigers over the last two years, though 15 of them came in 2022. The righty did manage a solid 4.19 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in those 15 outings, however, and he could make a bid for a 2024 starting job if he impresses down the stretch. |
|
Aug 21 2023 | Brieske (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits across an inning of work to take the loss Monday against the Cubs. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske had been fairly sharp before Monday, as he entered the contest with a tidy 2.12 ERA over 17 innings of work. The righty had also only allowed one run this month, but the Cubs got to him in the ninth inning, pushing his ERA to 3.00 for the season. Brieske should stick in a high-leverage relief role for the Tigers despite the hiccup. |
|
Aug 10 2023 | Brieske picked up the save Thursday against the Twins. He allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out zero over two perfect innings. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske was called upon in the eighth inning to preserve a 3-0 lead and delivered two perfect innings to secure the save. With two of the team's last three saves, the 25-year-old has added another layer of complexity to Detroit's bullpen hierarchy. |
|
Aug 6 2023 | Brieske retired the final batter in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rays via strikeout to record the save. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske came on for Alex Lange, who recorded the first two outs of the inning but also walked three batters and tossed 20 pitches. It's too early to say there's a change in the closer role for Detroit, as Lange leads the team with 17 saves and should have some job security. However, it seems that Brieske could be an option for the role if the Tigers decide to make a switch at some point. |
|
Jul 30 2023 | Brieske did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three hits over two scoreless innings against the Marlins while striking out two. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske allowed a leadoff single to Luis Arraez to open the bottom of the first but managed to retire the next three batters, two by way of strikeout. The right-hander would come back out to pitch a scoreless second inning before being relieved by Joey Wentz to open the third. Brieske has not allowed a run in four of his six appearances this month and has issued just one walk over that six-game stretch while notching seven strikeouts. |
|
Jul 28 2023 | Brieske will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske debuted as a starter but has pitched exclusively in relief in the majors this season, maxing out at 20 pitches in an appearance. It's uncertain who will follow Brieske in Saturday's contest. The Tigers could make a roster move to add an arm like Joey Wentz, or they could go with more of a bullpen game instead of an opener-primary situation. |
|
Jul 8 2023 | Brieske (elbow) was activated off the 60-day injured list Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske has been out all year due to elbow troubles but is ready to go after posting a 2.70 ERA across 11 rehab appearances. He pitched exclusively as a starter as a rookie last season, posting a 4.19 ERA in 15 starts, but the Tigers elected not to build him up to a starter's workload during his rehab assignment. |
|
Jun 13 2023 | Brieske's (elbow) rehab assignment was transferred to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske fared well in his two appearances with High-A West Michigan, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out two batters and walking one. He'll pitch an inning during Toledo's game Tuesday and will likely make a few additional rehab appearances before rejoining the Tigers. |
|
Jun 6 2023 | Brieske (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment Wednesday with High-A West Michigan, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske has been on the injured list all season, so he will likely require a handful of starts in the minors before he's ready to make his season debut. The 25-year-old righty posted a 4.19 ERA and 1.20 WHIP through 81.2 innings across 15 starts last season. |
|
May 26 2023 | Brieske (elbow) threw a live batting practice session earlier this week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske came out of it well and is slated for another live BP on Saturday. He's been out all season following a nerve hydrodissection procedure on his right elbow in April but would seem to be nearing a rehab assignment. |
|
May 16 2023 | The Tigers transferred Brieske (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Tuesday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Seth Elledge, claimed off waivers from the Mets, will fill the vacant 40-man roster spot. Brieske resumed throwing last week but remains out indefinitely with lingering elbow trouble. He had a nerve hydrodissection procedure in April. |
|
May 9 2023 | Brieske (elbow) resumed throwing Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Briekse has already experiencing a couple of setbacks, but he's on the right track again and will begin building up toward mound work. The 25-year-old has been out all season due to upper-arm trouble that was eventually diagnosed as ulnar nerve entrapment. |
|
May 2 2023 | Brieske (elbow) will resume a throwing program in one week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske recently had to be shut down due to a setback with his right elbow, but it evidently wasn't a major bump in the road. He's been out all season with a ulnar nerve entrapment which required a hydrodissection procedure. |
|
Apr 29 2023 | Brieske (arm) halted his throwing progression Saturday after experiencing discomfort in his right elbow, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Brieske had recently advanced to throwing live batting practice, about four weeks after being shut down with what was eventually diagnosed as right ulnar nerve entrapment. Now there is again no timetable for when he might be ready to make his season debut for Detroit. |
