Beau Brieske - Earns two-inning save Brieske picked up the save Thursday against the Twins. He allowed zero hits and zero walks while striking out zero over two perfect innings.
Impact 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.

Riley Greene - Blasts tape-measure shot in win Greene went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Thursday's 3-0 victory over the Twins.
Impact The 22-year-old unloaded on a hanging slider from Kenta Maeda in the sixth inning, sending the offering over the right-center field fence to give Detroit a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning. The solo shot left Greene's bat at 110.3 mph and traveled 453 feet, marking the longest homer of his career. The second-year outfielder has performed well since returning from a stress fracture in his left fibula on July 8, sporting a .320/.381/.515 slash line with five home runs across 113 plate appearances during that span. However, Greene's strikeout rate of 25.66 percent and walk rate of 7.96 percent over that same period suggest that some regression may be looming.

Reese Olson - Dominant in win Olson (2-5) earned the win Thursday, allowing two hits and three walks over six scoreless innings against Minnesota. He struck out eight.
Impact The rookie right-hander turned in the best start of his young career, outdueling opposing starter Kenta Maeda to earn the victory. Olson had been mired in mediocrity in his previous four starts since rejoining Detroit's rotation July 16, going 0-3 with a 6.33 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 21.1 innings during that stretch. The 24-year-old currently lines up for a rematch versus Minnesota next week.

Miguel Cabrera - Moves to bench Thursday Cabrera is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
Impact Cabrera has quietly hit .321 since the All-Star break, but he's largely been a one-category fantasy contributor, as he's complemented the lofty batting average with no home runs or stolen bases and just four runs and three RBI in 16 games. He'll hit the bench for Thursday's matinee game, but Cabrera appears to have moved back into a near-everyday role as he approaches the finish line in his last season in the big leagues. Cabrera had started in 10 of Detroit's previous 12 games.

Matt Vierling - Three hits, triple in win Vierling went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's victory over the Twins.
Impact Vierling's been swinging a hot bat of late -- he's now hit safely in six straight games while going 14-for-41 (.341) over his last 10 contests. The 26-year-old Vierling has seen regular playing time with the Tigers this season, and he's been making the most of it. His slash line is up to .272/.330/.394 with seven homers, 37 runs scored, 27 RBI and five steals across 348 plate appearances this season.
AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Faedo - Goes 4.2 innings in return Faedo did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Twins. He struck out five.
Impact All the damage against Faedo came in the third inning on homers by Carlos Correa and Joey Gallo. The 27-year-old right-hander was solid otherwise, though he'd depart in the fifth inning after throwing 85 pitches. Overall, Faedo is 2-4 this season with a 5.80 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across eight starts (40.1 innings). He figures to stay in the rotation following Michael Lorenzen's trade to Philadelphia. Faedo's next start is tentatively lined up as a rematch with the Twins on the road.
AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
José Cisnero - Notches second save Cisnero picked up the save Wednesday against Minnesota, allowing a hit and logging a strikeout over one-third of an inning.
Impact Cisnero recorded the final out in relief of Trey Wingenter in the ninth inning, striking out Carlos Correa to strand the bases loaded and preserve a 9-5 win. The 34-year-old CIsnero had struggled to a 7.04 ERA over his prior seven outings (7.2 innings). He now sports a 3.89 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB across 44 innings this season. While Cisnero is one of the more experienced arms in Detroit's pen, he's still likely behind Alex Lange and Jason Foley in the closing hierarchy.

Akil Baddoo - Taking seat Thursday Baddoo is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Twins, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Baddoo started the previous five contests but will take a seat in this one even as the Twins are starting a right-hander. Zach McKinstry will patrol left field Thursday.

Spencer Torkelson - Goes deep twice in win Torkelson went 2-for-4 with a walk, two solo home runs and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Twins.
Impact It was a three true outcomes night for Torkelson, as he struck out in his other two at-bats. The youngster was in a 2-for-23 slump before Wednesday, and that's kind of been par for the course this year. Torkelson has displayed good pop with 17 home runs, but he's also not making consistent contact with just a .225 batting average.
AUGUST 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Miguel Cabrera - Reaches milestone in win Cabrera went 3-for-4 in Wednesday's win over the Twins.
Impact Cabrera didn't do much with the three singles in the game, as he had no runs or RBI, but they marked a much bigger career milestone. The hits brought the veteran to 3,145 for his storied career, which put him past Robin Yount for 19th all time. Cabrera should continue to have nice moments like this the rest of the year, though they don't move the needle in fantasy.
