Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Records first win
Hanifee (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Monday against the Padres. He allowed one hit and struck out two.
After recording his first hold of the season in his last appearance Saturday, Hanifee notched his first win of the year Monday. The righty allowed an earned run in each of his first two 2025 outings, but since then, he's rattled off eight straight appearances without allowing any earned runs. Overall, Hanifee has a strong 1.54 ERA across 11.2 innings out of Detroit's bullpen.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Earns first hold Saturday
Hanifee worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning of relief and earn a hold in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Royals.
Following seven stellar innings from starter Casey Mize, Hanifee pitched a clean eighth before turning things over to Will Vest for the save, with Detroit's usual high-leverage options unavailable. It was the first hold of the season for Hanifee, who was just recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday. The righty has been effective when given an opportunity in the majors, as he has a 1.86 ERA this year across 9.2 innings, and he posted a 1.84 ERA across 29.1 regular-season innings in 2024.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Returning to big club
The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
The move replenishes Detroit's bullpen after Beau Brieske (ankle) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Hanifee cracked the Tigers' Opening Day roster, and in seven appearances before being optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, he posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across eight innings.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Optioned to Toledo
The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Hanifee pitched 1.1 innings during the Tigers' loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday, surrendering two unearned runs on three hits and a walk. He now owns a 2.25 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through eight innings, but he'll end up as the roster casualty needed to make room for Keider Montero, who will be promoted to start Wednesday's contest.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Cracks Opening Day roster
Hanifee will be included on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
He ultimately got the call over Jason Foley, who was surprisingly optioned to Triple-A Toledo earlier Wednesday. Hanifee spun 10.2 scoreless innings this spring with a 9:3 K:BB and held a 1.84 ERA and 23:6 K:BB across 29.1 regular-season frames with the Tigers last season. He's better at getting groundballs than strikeouts and will likely serve in middle relief.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Vying for final bullpen spot
Hanifee, Brant Hurter and Andrew Chafin are likely competing for Detroit's final bullpen spot to begin the regular season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Hanifee is a righty, while Hurter and Chafin are southpaws, so the decision could come down to how manager A.J. Hinch decides to construct his bullpen. Even if Hanifee doesn't make the cut initially, he figures to be in the mix for MLB action at some point this year. Hanifee impressed in a small sample last year, posting a 1.84 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 29.1 regular-season innings for the Tigers.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Continues strong spring play
After tossing two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Hanifee now has a 0.00 ERA and 0.82 WHIP across 7.1 innings this spring along with seven strikeouts.
Hanifee was a pleasant surprise for the Tigers in 2024, posting a 1.84 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 29.1 regular-season innings after getting called up to the majors in early August. The righty often served as an opener and gave Detroit some length out of the bullpen. Based on his strong showing last year and impressive spring so far, Hanifee should have a roster spot locked up, and he may see more high-leverage work as the season progresses.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Serving as opener Friday
Hanifee will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Friday's game versus the White Sox.
It's the third opener assignment this season for Hanifee, who went a combined 2.2 scoreless innings the first two times. Casey Mize is one candidate for bulk relief Friday, but the Tigers have not divulged their plans.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Opening Saturday
Hanifee will serve as the Tigers' opener in Saturday's game against the Athletics.
Hanifee has posted an impressive 1.47 ERA and 0.98 WHIP through 18.1 innings in the majors this season, and he'll now be trusted to make his second career MLB start. He will likely be removed from the game after an inning or two, at which point Brant Hurter is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Sustains first loss Monday
Hanifee (0-1) allowed an unearned run on two hits across an inning of relief to take the loss Monday against the Padres. He struck out two.
Hanifee didn't help his own cause, as a throwing error on a soft single by Mason McCoy allowed the batter to get into scoring position with one out in the third inning. Luis Arraez then drove McCoy in, which saddled Hanifee with his first loss in the big leagues across 15 appearances the last two years. The 26-year-old righty has actually pitched well for the Tigers, as he lowered his season ERA to 1.53 after not allowing any earned runs Monday. Hanifee should continue to see steady work out of Detroit's bullpen during the final month of the campaign.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Covers two innings Friday
Hanifee tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Yankees. He walked one and struck out two.
Hanifee followed opener Beau Brieske, who worked the first inning. Hanifee was effective once again in relief, and after a rough first appearance of the season back on Aug. 1, the righty has now logged nine scoreless innings in his last five outings. The 26-year-old is still in a mostly low-leverage role at the moment, but Hanifee could move up the bullpen pecking order if he keeps pitching well.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Opening Thursday
Hanifee will serve as the Tigers' opener during Thursday's game against the Mariners.
Hanifee has allowed two earned runs in four innings since having his contract selected from Triple-A on Aug. 1, and he'll now make his first MLB start after pitching the ninth inning of Wednesday's contest. The 26-year-old righty worked primarily as a starter throughout his minor-league career up until this season and is still capable of pitching multiple innings, but he will likely be pulled after a frame or two Thursday for Kenta Maeda, who is expected to pitch in bulk relief.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Contract selected
The Tigers selected Hanifee's contract from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Hanifee made three appearances with the Tigers last season but has spent all of 2024 with Toledo after re-signing on a minor-league contract. The 26-year-old has put up a 5.17 ERA at Toledo, but a 53:14 K:BB over 47 innings in more promising.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Reassigned to minors
The Tigers reassigned Hanifee to minor-league camp Thursday.
Hanifee made three relief appearances for the Tigers during the 2023 campaign and rejoined Detroit on a minor-league deal in the offseason after being non-tendered in November, but he never looked to be a realistic candidate to win a spot in the Opening Day bullpen. The 25-year-old right-hander is expected to report to Triple-A Toledo to begin the 2024 season.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Back with Tigers on MiLB deal
Hanifee signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday and received an invitation to major-league spring training, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The Tigers non-tendered Hanifee earlier in the offseason, but the team will keep him around on a minor-league pact. Hanifee gave up three runs across five innings in three appearances with the Tigers last season, and he logged a 4.38 ERA through 90.1 frames at Triple-A Toledo.

Brenan Hanifee: Heads into free agency
Hanifee was non-tendered by Detroit on Friday.
Hanifee was designated for assignment by the Tigers earlier this week and is now officially a free agent. The 25-year-old right-hander surrendered three earned runs over his first five major-league innings in 2023 and had a 4.38 ERA in 90.1 innings of work at the Triple-A level.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Pushed off 40-man roster
Hanifee was designated for assignment by the Tigers on Tuesday.
Hanifee made his major-league debut this past season at age 25, but he gave up three earned runs in five innings of relief and posted a 4.38 ERA across 90.1 innings with Triple-A Toledo. He is now off the 40-man roster in Detroit.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Set for big-league debut
Hanifee's contract will be selected from Triple-A Toledo prior to Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Cody Elliot of the Daily News Record reports.
A 25-year-old righty who has spent the bulk of his pro career in the Orioles' system, Hanifee joined the Tigers on a minor-league deal this year. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May of 2021 and logged a 4.38 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 82 strikeouts in 90.1 innings this year for the Mud Hens. Look for Hanifee to work in low-leverage, multi-inning relief situations.
