Throwing bullpen session Brieske (arm) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact It will be the first time he's thrown from the mound since he underwent a hydrodissection procedure to treat a nerve issue in his right arm. There remains no timetable for Brieske's return, but certainly Wednesday will be a step forward.

Throwing off mound soon Brieske (arm) is slated to throw a bullpen session by the middle of next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Brieske played catch Thursday for the first time since undergoing a hydrodissection procedure to treat a nerve issue in his right arm and will progress to mound work in a few days. There's no timetable yet for his return.

Impact Brieske was placed on the 15-day injured list to start the season due to right arm discomfort, and now the specifics of his injury have been revealed. The Tigers don't have a timetable in place for the 25-year-old righty to make his season debut, but his return only continues to get pushed back as he spends more and more time without throwing.

Still being evaluated Brieske (arm) continues to receive further medical evaluation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Brieske is on the injured list to begin the year with right upper arm discomfort, and there's still no word as to when the right-hander will be ready to return. Because of the missed time and the lack of clarity it seems likely that he won't be ready to come off the injured list when first eligible.

Lands on 15-day injured list Brieske was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Tigers on Thursday with right upper arm discomfort.
Impact Brieske felt discomfort after his final Grapefruit League outing. The team is still seeking a more specific diagnosis for the righty and should be able to provide a clearer timetable once that's available.
MARCH 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Managing arm discomfort The Tigers announced Wednesday that Brieske is experiencing right upper arm discomfort following his most recent Grapefruit League outing last Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com re...
Impact Brieske is slated to undergo further medical evaluation before the Tigers provide a more precise diagnosis of his injury, but Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press already reported earlier Wednesday that the 24-year-old right-hander is set to begin the season on the 15-day injured list. Expect Detroit to make that transaction official shortly before Thursday's season opener versus the Rays. With Brieske out of contention for a spot on the Opening Day roster, Garrett Hill will make the team as a long reliever and potential spot-starting option if Matthew Boyd (undisclosed) is forced to miss his first turn through the rotation this weekend in Tampa Bay.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Likely headed to injured list Brieske will likely start the year on the injured list, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact It's not yet known what will cause Brieske to miss time. The right-hander was considered a potential starter to begin the year for the Tigers, but that obviously won't take place now. The 24-year-old held his own in 15 starts with Detroit in 2022 with a 4.19 ERA and 54:25 K:BB over 81.2 innings.
MARCH 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Option to fill in as starter? With Michael Lorenzen (groin) uncertain to make his final Grapefruit League start, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, Brieske could be an option to fill the fifth rotation...
Impact Lorenzen is projected to be the team's regular No. 5 starter, but his groin strain has his status up in the air heading into the regular season. The Tigers are lined up to use their fifth starter April 4 against Houston, so Brieske or Joey Wentz may be needed if Lorenzen can't go. Brieske made 15 starts for Detroit last year and compiled a 4.19 ERA across 81.2 innings.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Struggling this spring Brieske, who allowed two runs across two innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals, has a 9.35 ERA this spring.
Impact Brieske has allowed nine earned runs across 8.2 innings this spring, and home runs have been an issue, as he's allowed four of them so far. The righty had a decent 4.19 ERA across 15 starts for the Tigers as a rookie last year, though he's ticketed for a long-relief role this season. He'll be off the fantasy radar unless he picks up some starts down the road, and he'll need to pitch better than he has this spring to be effective.
MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
The Detroit News RHP Beau Brieske, who seems to be on a reliever track this spring, has seen his fastball tick up to 97 mph in shorter bursts.
MARCH 12, 2023 • DETROITNEWS.COM
Possible bullpen option Brieske may begin the year in Detroit's bullpen after working exclusively as a starter in 2022, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Brieske made 15 starts for the Tigers last year and compiled a decent 4.19 ERA to go with a 1.20 WHIP. However, Detroit was decimated by injuries, and the likes of Eduardo Rodriguez, Matthew Boyd and Spencer Turnbull appear to now be healthy heading into camp. That trio, along with Matt Manning and Michael Lorenzen, seem like favorites for rotation spots. That would push Brieske into a relief role, though he could definitely push to start again at some point during the year.
FEBRUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Back to throwing Detroit announced Tuesday that Brieske (forearm) is fully healthy and participating in his normal offseason program, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brieske went down with forearm soreness in July and experienced biceps tendinitis while going through his rehab program, but he's now healthy after he missed the final three months of 2022. The young right-hander had a 4.19 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 54:25 K:BB across 81.2 innings during his rookie campaign last year, and he should be in the mix for a rotation spot at spring training.
NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Why Detroit Tigers' Beau Brieske won't pitch again in 2022 Right-hander Beau Brieske, a former 27th-round pick, finished with a 4.19 ERA in 15 starts as a rookie for the Detroit Tigers in 2022.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • FREEP.COM
Done for season Brieske (right forearm soreness) will not return this season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact His rehab is nearly done, but he's run out of time to make a responsible return to the big-league rotation. Brieske, 24, had a 4.19 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 54 strikeouts in 81.2 innings over 15 starts in the majors this year as a rookie.
SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Completes bullpen session Brieske (biceps) threw a bullpen session with no issues, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact The right-hander has been sidelined by forearm soreness and biceps tendinitis since late July, but it appears he's now fully past the injuries. The Tigers must now decide whether to continue ramping up Brieske's workload so he can take the mound over the final couple weeks of the season, or if he should transition straight to his offseason program. The 24-year-old had a 4.19 ERA in 15 starts for Detroit prior to the injuries, but even if he returns this year he won't be built up enough to reclaim that role.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Playing catch Brieske (forearm/biceps) is playing catch and doing well, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brieske has been out since mid-July, first with forearm soreness and then with biceps tendinitis. He'll have the chance to return in September if he continues to trend in the right direction.
AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Transferred to 60-day IL Brieske (forearm/biceps) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Brieske was recently pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo after experiencing symptoms of right biceps tendinitis, and he'll be ineligible to rejoin the Tigers until at least late September after shifting to the 60-day IL. It's not yet clear whether the right-hander will be able to return prior to the end of the regular season.

Suffering from biceps tendinitis Manager A.J. Hinch said Brieske (forearm) has been pulled off his rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo and won't be activated from the 15-day injured list this week after experienci...
Impact The fact that Brieske's injury is being characterized as tendinitis rather than a strain suggests he isn't dealing with anything too severe, but the Tigers are still likely to take a cautious approach with the rookie pitcher during a non-contending season. He'll presumably be shut down for at least a few days before the Tigers determine if he's fit to resume a throwing program. With Brieske not coming off the IL this week like the Tigers had planned, the team will need to break in a new pitcher into the rotation Friday against the White Sox.
AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Won't start Thursday after all Brieske (forearm) is no longer on track to return from the 15-day injured list Thursday, as Garrett Hill is scheduled to start the Tigers' series finale with the Guardians that day...
Impact Since Brieske completed his second rehab start at Triple-A Toledo last Friday, he should be available to pitch for the Tigers as soon as Wednesday. The Tigers haven't indicated that Brieske has suffered any sort of setback in his recovery from a right forearm injury, but he looks like he'll get some extra rest before he makes his return from the IL. Brieske could still be an option to start any of the Tigers' three games this weekend in Chicago versus the White Sox.
AUGUST 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trending toward Thursday return The Tigers are expected to activate Brieske (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to start Thursday's series finale with the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Impact Brieske had previously looked to be on track to return to the rotation as early as Wednesday, but the Tigers will instead have Tyler Alexander and Drew Hutchison take the mound for the first two games of the series with Cleveland to afford the rookie right-hander one additional day of rest. In his most recent rehab start Friday at Triple-A Toledo, Brieske struck out eight over 4.1 innings of one-run ball and built up to 66 pitches.
AUGUST 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Could return Wednesday Brieske (forearm) could start Wednesday against the Guardians, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Brieske hasn't pitched at the big-league level since July 12 due to forearm soreness, but he's ready to go after making a pair of rehab starts. His most recent outing, which came Friday for Triple-A Toledo, saw him strike out eight batters and walk none while allowing one run on three hits in 4.1 frames.
