JASON FOLEY NEWS

Secures third save Foley gave up two hits and didn't walk a batter during a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Pirates. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact The right-hander allowed multiple hits in an appearance for the first time this season but helped himself by inducing a groundball double play. Foley is racking up the stats early in the season with two wins and three saves through six scoreless appearances as he appears to be the favored option for the ninth inning.

Picks up win Foley (1-0) allowed one hit in a scoreless inning Monday, striking out two and earning a win over the Mets.

Impact The Tigers won in the 10th inning after Foley quickly worked through the ninth. The 28-year-old has already converted two saves and earned a win this season as he's seemingly locked himself into Detroit's ninth-inning role. Foley has four punchouts through 2.1 innings so far.

Earns second save Foley went 0.2 clean innings to earn his second save of the season.

Impact Foley appears to have won the closer role in Detroit, closing out his second game of the series sweep over the White Sox. While presumed closer Alex Lange struggled with his command in his first appearance Saturday, allowing three walks while earning one out, Foley has retired all four batters he's faced to seemingly temporarily solidify his hold on the job.

Nabs save on Opening Day Foley struck out the only two batters he faced Thursday against the White Sox to earn his first save of the season.

Impact Lefty Andrew Chafin, after pitching a scoreless eighth inning, recorded the first out of the ninth before handing things over to Foley. The right-hander struck out Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert to preserve an Opening Day shutout while touching triple digits with his sinker. Alex Lange was the presumptive closer for the Tigers after leading the team in saves with 26 last season, but he did not appear in Thursday's game. There has been nothing yet to indicate Lange is injured, so perhaps Foley has simply leapfrogged Lange in the eyes of manager A.J. Hinch.

Earns third win Foley (3-3) pitched around a hit and a walk to record a clean inning of relief and earn the win Tuesday against the Royals. He struck out one.

Impact Foley got into a little bit of trouble but managed to escape, thanks in large part to a double-play grounder off the bat of Bobby Witt. The righty reliever has been solid all season for the Tigers with a 2.65 ERA, and he leads the team with 28 holds. He's also managed to record seven saves, giving him some fantasy value here and there.

Records another save Saturday Foley pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to record the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Guardians.

Impact Foley now has seven saves this season, with three of them coming in his last four appearances as he's taken over as Detroit's primary closer, displacing Alex Lange. Foley has a strong 2.63 ERA overall, though his ERA in August sits at 4.32, in part due to allowing three earned runs in an outing on Wednesday. As long as the righty displays better command than Lange and avoids blowups, he should stick as the team's top option for saves.

Escapes with sixth save Foley recorded his sixth save of the season in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up a run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning...

Impact Steven Kwan led off the final frame with a triple, but Foley had a three-run cushion to work with and was able to minimize the damage. Alex Lange continues to deal with control issues, posting an 8:10 K:BB through 4.1 innings in August, but Foley is facing his own struggles as the next man up in the closer role, getting tagged for four runs on six hits, including two homers, in his last two appearances.

AUGUST 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Notches fifth save Foley gave up one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief Saturday to record his fifth save of the season in a 6-2 win over the Red Sox.

Impact Beau Brieske started the eighth inning protecting a five-run lead, but after a Justin Turner homer and two singles, Foley was brought in to shut down the rally with the tying run on deck. The right-hander's power sinker proved to be too much for Boston's hitters, producing four groundball outs -- including a game-ending double play -- plus an infield pop-up. Alex Lange has walked nine batters in his last three appearances and appears to be in danger of losing his grip on Detroit's closer role, and while Foley is in the mix to replace him, manager A.J. Hinch might be leaning toward a committee approach instead. Since Lange's last save July 23, four different Tigers relievers -- Brieske with two, and Foley, Tyler Holton and Jose Cisnero with one each -- have collected a save.

Earns fourth save Foley picked up the save in Thursday's 3-0 victory over Kansas City, working around a hit in a scoreless inning.

Impact After Alex Lange worked two of Detroit's previous three games, Foley was called upon Thursday to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning. The 27-year-old right-hander worked around a leadoff single, coaxing a double-play ball off the bat of Salvador Perez to earn his fourth save of the season. While Lange seems to have steadied himself as the Tigers' closer, Foley has been good in a set-up role, pitching to a 2.13 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP and 37:9 K:BB across 42.1 innings this year.

Goes two innings for save Foley picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Twins. He allowed one hit while striking out four over two scoreless innings.

Impact Foley got the Tigers out of a jam in the eighth inning then tossed a perfect ninth to pick up his third save of the campaign and his first since April 25. Though Foley has operated in high-leverage situations all year as a setup man for closer Alex Lange, he has struggled when given the opportunity to pick up saves, blowing two of his five chances this season.

Takes second loss Foley (2-2) blew the save and took the loss in Sunday's 7-5 loss against the Diamondbacks. He allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over one inning.

Impact Foley had a chance to earn his first save since April 25 as he was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning. After recording the first out, he allowed the next three Diamondbacks to reach safely before Christian Walker roped a two-out double, putting the Tigers behind 6-5 and ultimately handing Foley the loss. The 27-year-old Foley had allowed just one earned run in his last 11.2 innings prior to Sunday's outing. He still sports a solid 2.63 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB through 27.1 innings this season. With Alex Lange struggling, the Tigers may give Foley another shot in the ninth.
