2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hurter looked good out of the bullpen for the Tigers during his debut season in the majors in 2024. He proved in 2025 that his debut year was not a fluke, with the 27-year-old southpaw finishing the regular season with a 2.43 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, five holds, two saves and a 68:27 K:BB across 63 innings. The Tigers brought in Kenley Jensen during the offseason, but Tigers POBO Scott Harris did not commit to naming the former as the team's closer, so Hurter has an outside chance of winning the role himself while competing against Jensen, Kyle Finnegan, Will Vest and Tyler Holton. Even if he isn't named the team's closer for 2026, Hurter's strong play over the past two seasons could earn him a high-leverage role for Detroit. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Tigers in March of 2026.
Sustains first loss Friday
Hurter (4-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief to take the loss Friday against the Royals. He struck out one.
Analysis
After Kyle Finnegan began to unravel in the bottom of the eighth, Hurter came on in relief and escaped without further damage to keep the score 3-3. The lefty came back for the ninth and got the first two outs of the frame, but a Nick Loftin double followed by a Kyle Isbel single gave Hurter his first loss of the season. Despite the setback, Hurter has been excellent out of the bullpen this year with a 1.77 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 20.1 innings.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hurter made his MLB debut in 2024 and was a bit of a pleasant surprise for the Tigers. The 26-year-old posted a 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 38 strikeouts across 45.1 innings. What made the performance surprising was the fact that Hurter posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 71.1 innings for Triple-A Toledo earlier in the year, which also marked his first stop at that level. The unheralded rookie mostly pitched in relief for Detroit, though it was largely in a bulk role, and he also did make one start. Hurter benefited from a .236 BABIP, so some regression could be in store over a longer time period, but his 3.03 FIP suggests that he wasn't overly lucky. Following his successful debut, Hurter could transition into a more typical rotation spot in 2025, depending on how the Tigers approach their pitching staff. Either way, the young southpaw has put himself on the fantasy radar, and he makes for an intriguing upside play.
