Tigers Option Struggling Reliever Beau Brieske to Triple-A Toledo

On June 12, 2025, the Detroit Tigers sent right-handed pitcher Beau Brieske down to their Triple-A affiliate in Toledo following a tough performance against Baltimore.
Brieske's demotion followed several struggles including a 6.55 ERA, command issues, and five runs allowed in one-third of an inning against the Orioles.
To replace Brieske, the Tigers recalled left-handed pitcher Matt Gage from Toledo, who has a 1.67 ERA and has shown improvement in his pitching mechanics.
Manager A.J. Hinch said Brieske "needs a reset" to regain command and noted Gage "has performed his way here" and left-handed pitching "helps us right now."
Meanwhile, veteran Alex Cobb received an anti-inflammatory injection for left hip inflammation, pausing his rehab and delaying his return to the Tigers' rotation.
