Rotowire
Englert will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Englert was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and Wednesday will mark his first time pitching in the majors since June 24. The 24-year-old righty owns a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 19.2 innings with Detroit on the season, although he's allowed five runs (four earned) over 13.2 frames in Triple-A since his last MLB outing. Kenta Maeda is expected to work in bulk relief once Englert is taken out of the game.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Returns from IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Iowa reinstated Englert (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Thursday.
Englert made his first appearance for Toledo since July 4 later that day, striking out one over a scoreless inning in the club's 5-3 loss to Iowa. The right-hander possesses a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster, but he may not be in the mix for a call-up anytime soon after posting a 5.95 ERA in 19.2 innings with the big club before getting optioned to the minors June 25 and then getting hurt shortly thereafter.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Headed to Toledo
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
They need to free up a roster spot for Keider Montero, who will start Wednesday versus the Phillies, and Englert's locker at Comerica Park has been cleaned out. Englert holds a 5.95 ERA and 14:4 K:BB over 19.2 relief innings this season.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Effective in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Englert tossed 2.1 scoreless innings with a strikeout in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the White Sox.
Englert efficiently retired all seven batters he faced on just 24 pitches. The righty allowed five runs in an outing earlier this month, which has his ERA sitting at 5.79, but he's been mostly good otherwise. Not counting that rough appearance, Englert has a 3.78 ERA across 16.2 innings this year. He should continue to work in a long-relief role for the Tigers, which limits his fantasy upside.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Just one day after being sent down to the minors to make room for Shelby Miller, Englert will return to Detroit's bullpen as a replacement for Alex Faedo (hip). Englert was lit up for three runs in one inning during his season debut, but he has since turned in five scoreless innings across his last three MLB appearances. He'll likely serve in middle relief while Faedo is on the IL.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Optioned to Toledo
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Englert has given up three earned runs in six innings since coming up from Triple-A in late May, but he will now return to Toledo in order to make room for Shelby Miller (elbow), who was activated from the IL on Tuesday. Englert owns an impressive 2.35 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 23 innings with the Mud Hens, and he could be the first choice to return to Detroit if the Tigers run into further depth problems in their bullpen.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Tosses two scoreless innings
Rotowire
Englert tossed two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, which finished as an 8-0 Detroit win.
Detroit ace Tarik Skubal dazzled across seven scoreless innings, then handed things off to Englert with a comfortable lead. Englert allowed three earned runs over an inning of work in his season debut six days ago, but he's logged three scoreless innings since then. The righty will remain a low-leverage reliever for now, which limits his fantasy upside, though his role could expand if the Tigers trade any veterans from their bullpen at some point down the road.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Englert has put up a 2.35 ERA and 34:9 K:BB over 23 innings with Toledo this season. The 24-year-old collected a 5.46 ERA across 31 appearances for the Tigers last year. He should operate in low-leverage situations.

Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Englert has had a solid spring, yielding four runs and posting a 10:2 K:BB over 7.2 innings. He'll get a chance in the Tigers' bullpen eventually, but for now, he'll report to Toledo.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Set for second spring appearance
Rotowire
Englert (hip) is scheduled to appear in relief in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
After he was blasted for nine earned runs in 2.1 innings of long relief July 22 against the Padres, Englert never appeared again for the Tigers last season. He was placed on the injured list two days later with a left hip tightness, and though he was sent out on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo in September, he was ultimately shut down again. Englert appears to be healthy again after having the offseason to recover from the hip issue, but he'll need a strong showing in spring training to secure a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen. He'll be making his second Grapefruit League appearance Wednesday after he surrendered three earned runs on three hits -- all home runs -- in two innings this past Saturday against the Yankees.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Pulled off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Englert (hip) was pulled off his rehab assignment Sunday to undergo further medical evaluation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Englert had allowed nine earned runs on 16 hits and four walks through 11.1 innings of work with Triple-A Toledo. He's been on the major-league injured list since late July due to left hip tightness and now seems doubtful to make it back to the bigs this year.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Set for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Englert (hip) is set to begin a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Out since July 24 due to left hip tightness, Englert should be an option again for the Tigers' bullpen early next week. The 23-year-old right-hander has posted a 5.46 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB across his first 56 major-league innings this season with Detroit.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Resumes mound work
Rotowire
Englert (hip) has thrown three bullpen sessions since landing on the 15-day injured list July 24, MLB.com reports.
Though Englert isn't on track to return from the IL on Monday when first eligible, he at least hasn't been shut down from throwing as he works his way back from a sore left hip. Assuming he checked out fine after his most recent bullpen session Saturday, Englert could be cleared to face hitters early this week before potentially reporting to a minor-league affiliate for a brief rehab assignment.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Sidelined with tight hip
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Englert on the 15-day injured list Monday with left hip tightness.
Englert's move to the IL comes two days after he was lit up for nine earned runs on 10 hits and one walk over 2.1 innings of long relief in Saturday's 14-3 loss to the Padres. Prior to the disastrous outing, Englert had been a serviceable middle-relief option for the Tigers, accruing a 4.19 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB in 53.2 innings. A timeline for Englert's return from the injury hasn't been established, but he'll be eligible for activation beginning Aug. 7.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Shelled by Padres
Rotowire
Englert (4-3) took the loss in Saturday's 14-3 loss against San Diego. He allowed nine runs on 10 hits and one walk while striking out one over 2.1 innings.
After a rain delay knocked out starter Matt Manning, Englert was handed the ball to start the third inning and immediately got into trouble. He served up an RBI double to Juan Soto and then a three-run homer to Manny Machado in back-to-back at-bats to set off a miserable appearance. The outing spoiled what has otherwise been a solid rookie season for Englert, ballooning his ERA from 4.19 to 5.46 and giving him his third loss of the campaign.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Earns win Friday
Rotowire
Englert (2-2) allowed one run on four hits across two innings of relief and earned the win Friday against the Twins. He had two strikeouts.
Englert followed opener Will Vest and was able to earn the win despite allowing a lot of traffic on the bases during his two innings of work. The righty has a middling 4.87 ERA and 1.52 WHIP for the season, limiting his fantasy appeal. He has at least been able to give the Tigers some length out of the bullpen, as 14 of his 23 appearances this year have covered at least two innings.
