Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Throws bullpen Tuesday
Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is working out in Toledo as part of reserve squad with the Triple-A season over, per MLB.com.Gipson-Long has been out since Sept. 11 due to neck stiffness. It's possible he returns before the regular season ends, though the Detroit Tigers now have just four games remaining. If Gipson-Long does make it back this week, he'll likely slot into a bullpen role with limited fantasy value. The 27-year-old righty could reemerge as a rotation option in 2026, depending on what Detroit does over the offseason.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Hit hard Thursday
Sawyer Gipson-Long allowed seven runs on seven hits across 2.1 innings of relief in Thursday's 9-3 loss to the Yankees. He struck out three.Tyler Holton took the loss as the opener, allowing two runs in his inning of work, but Gipson-Long let the game get out of hand as the bulk reliever. He's allowed 13 runs across 6.1 innings in his last two appearances, and he's sitting with an ugly 7.18 ERA overall. The righty may continue to work in a bulk role or start some games while Reese Olson (shoulder) is out, but he's hard to trust in fantasy given his current form. Gipson-Long is penciled in to start Thursday's game against the Guardians, though Detroit may opt to deploy an opener once again in that contest.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Handling bulk role Thursday
Sawyer Gipson-Long is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Tyler Holton in Thursday's game against the Yankees, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.Gipson-Long filled a starting role last week following his promotion from Triple-A Toledo, but he didn't impress in his outing against the Mets, taking a loss while allowing six earned runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. The Detroit Tigers will keep Gipson-Long in the rotation for another turn, but the team will hope to get better results from him by using him out of the bullpen. Holton is likely to work just one or two innings before giving way to Gipson-Long, who should cover multiple frames.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Mauled by Mets
Sawyer Gipson-Long (0-2) took the loss Tuesday, coughing up six run on five hits and two walks over four innings as the Detroit Tigers fell 12-5 to the Mets. He struck out three.Brought back up to the majors earlier in the day, Gipson-Long served up a solo shot to Pete Alonso in the first inning and a three-run blast to Luis Torrens in the fourth. The right-hander has been taken deep six times in his last 17.2 big-league innings dating back to June 21, but with Chris Paddack apparently headed to the bullpen once he returns from the bereavement list, Gipson-Long may be set for a longer look in the rotation. If he sticks around, things won't get any easier for him in his next scheduled start, which would come on the road early next week against the Yankees.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Promoted ahead of start
The Detroit Tigers recalled Sawyer Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.Gipson-Long will start Tuesday's game at home against the Mets, and manager A.J.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Drawing start Tuesday
Sawyer Gipson-Long will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to start Tuesday's game against the Mets in Detroit, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.Gipson-Long holds a 4.32 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 25 innings covering two starts and four relief appearances for the Detroit Tigers this season. He hasn't reached the five-inning mark in an appearance since late June, so the right-hander could be in line for a relatively abbreviated outing Tuesday. Gipson-Long seems likely to be shifted to long relief after Tuesday's spot start, if he isn't optioned back to Triple-A.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Set for call-up Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers are expected to recall Sawyer Gipson-Long from Triple-A Toledo ahead of Tuesday's game against the Mets, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.With the active roster expanding from 26 to 28 men Monday, Detroit recalled right-hander Chase Lee and outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy from Triple-A to fill the two openings, but the Tigers will make another move Tuesday to facilitate Gipson-Long's call-up. The Tigers don't have a starter listed for Tuesday, so Gipson-Long appears likely to begin that game on the mound or serve as a bulk reliever. The right-hander has previously made six appearances (two starts) for the Tigers this season, logging a 4.32 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB in 25 innings.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Sent to Triple-A
The Detroit Tigers optioned Sawyer Gipson-Long to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.Gipson-Long tossed two shutout innings out of the bullpen Wednesday, but he'll lose his spot on the active roster while the Tigers bring in a fresh arm in the form of Bailey Horn.

Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Effective in return
Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck) tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the White Sox. He allowed one hit and struck out two.Gipson-Long was making his first MLB appearance since June 27, and he looked sharp while only needing 17 pitches to cover two frames. The righty worked behind Troy Melton, who logged five scoreless innings in a spot start. While Gipson-Long worked exclusively as a starter in Triple-A this season, he figures to be a bullpen option for the Detroit Tigers with the team adding veteran starters Chris Paddack and Charlie Morton before the trade deadline. Gipson-Long can at least give Detroit some length in relief, as he displayed Wednesday.
