2025 Fantasy Outlook
After working exclusively as a starter during his 2022 rookie season, Brieske has morphed into a useful swing man for the Tigers the last two seasons. In 2024, he made 46 appearances, which included 12 starts as an opener, and he logged 67.2 innings overall. Brieske posted a solid 3.59 ERA and struck out 69 batters. The righty also managed six holds, four wins and a save in his hybrid role. While Brieske's ability to cover multiple innings out of the bullpen or as a starter is valuable for Detroit, his lack of a regular starting spot does limit his fantasy ceiling to some degree. The 26-year-old could potentially make his way back into the rotation at some point, as the Tigers have several unproven options outside of staff ace Tarik Skubal. Until that happens, Brieske will remain difficult to count on for consistent production out of the bullpen, unless of course he starts seeing more save opportunities in a higher-leverage relief role.

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.
ANALYSIS
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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
With Detroit dealing with a number of rotation injuries in 2022, Brieske emerged as a surprisingly solid starter, though he was also shut down in July with forearm soreness. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut in late April and proceeded to record a 4.19 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 81.2 innings. He only had 54 strikeouts, so his ceiling might not be very high unless he can start missing more bats moving forward. Heading into 2023, the Detroit rotation is still in flux. Eduardo Rodriguez missed a good chunk of time last year, but he figures to be the Opening Day starter. Matt Manning should also slot into the rotation along with Spencer Turnbull, who missed all of 2022 due to Tommy John surgery. However, Casey Mize could miss most or all of 2023 due to his own Tommy John surgery, and Tarik Skubal is out for a while following flexor tendon surgery in August. That should put Brieske in a position to start, though he'll likely have to generate more strikeouts to get the attention of fantasy managers.
