KYLE FUNKHOUSER NEWS

Placed on 10-day IL Funkhouser (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Funkhouser doesn't yet have a timetable to return from his right shoulder strain, so it's not very surprising to see him land on the 10-day IL ahead of the regular season. A better idea of his return timeline should come into focus once he's able to resume throwing.

Not throwing yet Funkhouser (lat) is still not playing catch and has no timeline to return, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Picks up first MLB Funkhouser worked around a hit to pitch a scoreless ninth inning and earn the save in Sunday's win over the Rays.

Impact Wily Peralta pitched seven scoreless innings, then three Detroit relivers including Funkhouser helped secure the 2-0 win. With Gregory Soto (finger) and Jose Cisnero (elbow) currently on the injured list, there are some save opportunities up for grabs. Michael Fulmer is the top option, but he pitched Friday and Saturday, so Funkhouser got the call Sunday. The elevated role in the bullpen gives the 27-year-old some added fantasy value in the season's final weeks, though Fulmer is the Detroit reliever to target.

Earns extra-innings win Funkhouser (7-3) walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Impact The right-hander kept Tampa Bay off the board in the 11th inning, and Detroit won with a walkoff walk in its half of the inning. Funkhouser hasn't been very good to start September, allowing six runs in 4.2 innings across four appearances. He owns a 3.45 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 56:33 K:BB in 60 innings overall while adding seven holds and two blown saves.

Takes second loss Saturday Funkhouser (6-2) allowed one run on a hit and a walk in an inning of work to take the loss Saturday against the Blue Jays in extra innings.

Impact Funkhouser entered in the 10th frame of a 2-2 game, meaning he had to deal with an inning-opening runner on second base. A one-out single by Corey Dickerson brought in Vladimir Guerrero and ultimately saddled Funkhouser with his second loss of the season. Still, the righty has been solid for the Tigers with a 2.82 ERA, and his six wins are tied with Gregory Soto for most on the team out of the bullpen.

Scoops up sixth win Funkhouser (6-1) tossed 1.2 scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Tuesday against the Orioles. He struck out two.

Impact Despite his relief role, Funkhouser is now tied for second on the team with his six wins and is just one win behind Tarik Skubal for the team lead. Funkhouser has been solid all around with a 3.02 ERA and 41 strikeouts across 44.2 innings this season. While it may be unrealistic to expect the wins to keep piling up for the righty, he should hold onto a middle relief role for the Tigers given his steady play so far.

Earns fifth win Funkhouser struck out the only batter he faced Tuesday night, getting credit for the Tigers' 4-2 victory over the Red Sox.

Impact Funkhouser inherited a two-on, two-out situation in the fourth, but struck out Alex Verdugo to end the Boston threat. The right-hander has now struck out a batter in his last 11 outings. After Detroit starter Wily Peralta needed 96 pitches to scrape through 4.2 innings, Funkhouser delivered just seven and got the win. If only they were all this easy.
