JASON FOLEY NEWS

Secures second save Foley recorded two strikeouts and retired all three batters he faced to earn the save Tuesday in Milwaukee.

Impact The 27-year-old retired the side in order with ease Tuesday and took advantage of the fact closer Alex Lange pitched each of the previous two days. Foley and Lange now have two saves apiece this season, though Lange should still be considered the closer since he's dominated work in the ninth inning (seven appearances).

Takes first loss Friday Foley (0-1) allowed a run on two hits while not retiring a batter to take the loss Friday against the Orioles.

Impact Foley worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 game and promptly allowed singles to Ryan Mountcastle and Anthony Santander. With runners on first and third, an Adam Frazier fielder's choice grounder ended the game. Foley has still been solid this year with a 2.25 ERA and a save across nine appearances, though the struggling Detroit offense generally makes the margin of error fairly slim for the pitching staff.

Notches first career save Foley struck out one in a perfect ninth inning during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader to record his first career save in a 1-0 win over the Guardians.

Impact Alex Lange picked up the win in the matinee, so Foley got the call in the nightcap and breezed through the top of the Cleveland order, striking out Jose Ramirez to end the game. The right-hander has arguably been Detroit's most effective reliever so far in 2023, posting a 1.13 ERA and 8:3 K:BB through eight innings with three holds, and if Lange falters as closer, Foley could be the next man up in the role.

Figures to have prominent role Foley figures to have a prominent relief role for the Tigers this season with several key members of last year's bullpen departing in the offseason, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com repo...

Impact Gregory Soto is the most significant departure, as the lefty led the Tigers in saves last year. However, Joe Jimenez, Michael Fulmer and Andrew Chafin are also gone. That leaves the likes of Foley, Alex Lange and Jose Cisnero in a position to take on more prominent roles, though it's unclear who might emerge as the closer. Foley recorded a 3.88 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 60.1 innings in 2022. He only recorded 43 strikeouts in that time, so the righty doesn't profile as an overpowering pitcher, which could make him more of a setup option.

Struggles continue Wednesday Foley allowed three runs on five hits across an inning of relief in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles. He struck out one.

Impact Foley entered the game with Baltimore up 5-1 in the eighth, and the Tigers decided to let the righty ride despite his struggles. He's now allowed runs in his last two appearances and has an 11.37 ERA this month across 6.1 innings. Foley's season ERA is still a respectable 3.65, though he's been trending in the wrong direction lately.

Sent to minors The Tigers optioned Foley to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

Impact Foley was moved off the 28-man active roster to clear a spot for shortstop Javier Baez (thumb), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Over his five relief appearances with Detroit spanning 5.2 innings, Foley gave up two earned runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out zero.

Decent shot at roster spot With the Tigers sending down a few relievers Monday, Foley now appears more likely to make the Opening Day roster, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Bryan Garcia was optioned to Triple-A Toledo, while Jacob Barnes, Miguel Diaz and Wily Peralta were all optioned to minor-league camp Monday. Foley is on the 40-man roster, which helps his chances of sticking around as the roster is trimmed down further. The 26-year-old would likely slot in as a low-leverage reliever for the Tigers with limited fantasy appeal.

Returns to big leagues Foley was recalled from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Foley has held his own across his previous 6.1 major-league innings this season, allowing just two earned runs on six hits while striking out a pair. He'll rejoin the big club for the first time since the end of August and figures to pick up some of Jose Cisnero's (elbow) innings with the latter moving to the injured list.

Sent to Toledo The Tigers optioned Foley to Triple-A Toledo after Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Foley tossed a scoreless sixth inning Sunday, but he issued two walks and needed 23 pitches to retire the side. The Tigers' decision to demote Foley likely has less to do with how he looked Sunday than it does the team's desire to add another fresh arm to the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against the Twins.

AUGUST 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A Foley was recalled by the Tigers on Friday.

Impact Foley made his first four major-league appearances earlier in the season, allowing two runs in five hits despite striking out just two batters. He didn't walk any opposing batters but hit three of them. Erasmo Ramirez was designated for assignment to clear a bullpen spot.

Sent to Triple-A Foley was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Monday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Foley surrendered one run on two hits in one inning Monday, and he'll head down to the minors after two other Detroit arms suffered injuries in the series opener. The team will likely call up multiple fresh arms Tuesday after deploying nine different pitchers.

JUNE 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Called up to big leagues Foley was recalled to the Tigers on Sunday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact With Michael Fulmer landing on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain, a spot has opened up for Foley on the major-league roster. This marks Foley's first promotion to the big leagues. The right-hander has posted a 3.60 ERA and 10:4 K:BB across 10 innings at Triple-A Toledo this season. He'll look to make his major-league debut out of the Detroit bullpen in the coming days.
