Tigers' Will Vest: Earns rare save Wednesday
Will Vest retired the final two batters of Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Royals, including one by strikeout, to record the save.This was Vest's first save since Aug. 11 and just his second of the season, but it was a critical one, as the Detroit Tigers moved within a half game of a playoff spot with a big win against a division rival. The righty reliever was needed in the spot because regular closer Jason Foley pitched each of the last three days. Vest is behind Foley and Tyler Holton in the bullpen pecking order for Detroit, though he's been a steady presence with a 3.02 ERA this year across 65.2 innings of relief.

Tigers' Will Vest: Blows save, takes loss Thursday
Will Vest (2-4) retired two batters via strikeout but also allowed two runs on two hits and a walk to blow the save and take the loss Thursday against the Mariners.Detroit's top closing option, Jason Foley, had pitched each of the previous two games, so the Detroit Tigers turned to Vest on Thursday. The righty struggled as he blew his fifth save chance of the season. Vest still has a solid 3.16 ERA overall, and he should continue to see high-leverage work, but the late-inning situation in Detroit's bullpen remains murky. Foley hasn't recorded a save since July 10 but still leads the team with 15, while Vest, Tyler Holton and Shelby Miller are seem like candidates to get save opportunities down the stretch as well.

Tigers' Will Vest: Earns win in wild game
Will Vest (2-3) tossed a scoreless inning of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 11-9, 10-inning victory over the Dodgers. He walked one and struck out one.Vest was the last of six Detroit pitchers to appear in the contest, and he calmly navigated the top of the 10th inning on 12 pitches before Gio Urshela ended the game with a walk-off homer in the bottom half. The veteran righty has been solid once again this season with a 3.27 ERA and 36 strikeouts across 41.1 innings. Vest should continue to work in a high-leverage setup role for the Detroit Tigers ahead of Jason Foley, though it's a fairly fluid bullpen, and Vest could see some save opportunities down the stretch if Foley stumbles.

Tigers' Will Vest: Struggles in first loss
Will Vest (1-1) allowed three runs on three hits across an inning of work to take the loss Wednesday against the Rays. He struck out one.Vest has been mostly good so far this season, though his ERA climbed from 1.64 to 3.75 with this clunker. The righty turned in a 2.98 ERA across 48 games last year, so this poor performance will likely just be a blip on the radar. Vest should remain locked into a high-leverage setup role for the Detroit Tigers, but his fantasy value is somewhat limited because he's not seeing save opportunities at the moment.
