Snags 19th save Foley pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to record the save the in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Angels.

Impact Foley has recorded the save each of the last two days against Los Angeles, giving him 19 for the season. That's easily a career high for the righty, as he came into the year with just seven saves across his first three MLB campaigns, all of which came in 2023. The Tigers have used Tyler Holton and Shelby Miller on occasion to close out games, but Foley has established himself as the top option in Detroit's bullpen.

Earns one-out save Foley earned the save against the Angels on Tuesday, retiring the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.

Impact Foley was summoned to protect a 6-2 lead with two on and two outs in the ninth inning and retired Jo Adell for his 18th save of the season. The 28-year-old has not allowed an earned run in 11 August appearances and now owns a 3.23 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB across 47.1 innings this season.

Earns save Friday Foley threw a perfect inning to pick up a save against the White Sox on Friday.

Impact Foley quickly finished off the 5-2 win with just four pitches. It was his first save since Aug. 15 and just his fourth since the start of July. Foley has turned in 8.2 straight frames without allowing an earned run, dropping his ERA to 3.33 with a 33:16 K:BB through 46 innings.

Picks up 16th save Foley earned the save in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Mariners, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Impact It's the first save for Foley in over a month and his first opportunity since July 12, when he allowed a run in a loss to the Dodgers. While Foley struggled to close out July, he's been pitching better since the start of August -- he's now made seven straight appearances (6.2 innings) without allowing an earned run. While the closing job in Detroit appears fluid, Foley is still likely the best bet for saves moving forward. He's converted 16 of 19 save chances this year while posting a 3.48 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 44 innings.

Not used in save chance Sunday Foley did not appear in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants, with Will Vest earning the save instead.

Impact Foley last pitched on Friday and before that on Wednesday, so he seemingly should have been available for the save opportunity Sunday. Instead, Will Vest was used and earned his first save of the season. Foley leads the Tigers with 15 saves, but he's also struggled a bit recently, as he has a 5.68 ERA and 1.74 WHIP since the beginning of July. Foley has a tenuous hold on the closer role, and with six Detroit relievers now having saves this year, it's a fairly murky bullpen situation at this point.

Earns win in relief Saturday Foley (3-3) allowed two unearned runs on one hit across two innings of relief to earn the win in extra innings Saturday against the Royals. He struck out one.

Impact Foley didn't enter the contest until the top of the 10th inning, when he allowed the automatic runner on second base to score following a fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly. He allowed the automatic runner to score again in the 11th, but the Tigers scored twice in the bottom half to give the righty the win. Foley has ceded some ninth inning work to other relievers, though he's still clearly trusted in high-leverage spots and remains the team's top closer. He leads the Tigers by a wide margin with 15 saves this season.

Used in eighth inning Friday Foley pitched a clean eighth inning in Friday's 5-4 win over the Blue Jays, with Tyler Holton working the ninth for the save.

Impact After Beau Brieske started the eighth inning by allowing a single, a home run and another single, the Tigers turned to Foley. He managed to retire Vladimir Guerrero, Justin Turner and Leo Jimenez in order to maintain Detroit's lead and ultimately earn a hold. While Foley might move around some due to matchups, he should still be considered the team's top option for saves, though both Holton and Shelby Miller are waiting in the wings as needed. The fluid situation depresses Foley's fantasy value a bit compared to other closers.

Blows save, takes loss Friday Foley (2-3) blew a save and took the loss against the Dodgers on Friday, allowing one run on two hits with no walks and no strikeouts over 0.2 innings.

Impact Foley was called upon for a possible multi-inning save with a 3-2 lead in the eighth but was instead charged with a blown save and the loss while recording just two outs. The closer has been shaky in July despite securing two saves, yielding four earned runs in 2.1 innings with just one strikeout. On the year, he is 15-for-18 in save chances with a 3.62 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 32.1 innings.

Earns 15th save Foley earned a save in Wednesday's win over the Guardians, walking one and recording the final two outs in the ninth inning.

Impact Foley was summoned to protect a 5-4 lead with one out in the ninth inning and stranded a runner on third to secure his 15th save in 17 attempts. It was a gutsy effort, as he entered Wednesday having yielded four earned runs over his previous four appearances. On the season, the 28-year-old owns a 3.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB over 31.2 innings.

Shaky but records save Foley allowed two runs on four hits but managed to secure the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

Impact Foley started the ninth inning with a 5-2 lead but was generally ineffective as he allowed Cincinnati back into the game before eventually escaping. Despite the blip, the righty has been mostly solid this year, compiling a 3.26 ERA across 30.1 innings and recording 14 saves in 16 chances. Foley isn't the most exciting option, but as long as he remains the closer in Detroit, he'll maintain fantasy value.
