Mason Englert - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Working in bulk-relief role Monday Englert will follow Ian Seymour for Monday's game against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Englert was recalled by the Rays from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, and he'll take to the mound Monday after Seymour tosses one or two innings. Englert has spent the majority of the 2026 season in the majors and has a 4.71 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 21 innings. His last outing was against the Tigers on the same day he was called up from the minors, when he allowed one run on four hits while striking out three batters across five innings.

Rejoining big club The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Englert will give the Rays' weary bullpen with a fresh arm heading into Wednesday's game against the Tigers, after Tampa Bay needed relievers to cover 12.2 innings between the first two contests of the series. Before being demoted May 9, the 26-year-old righty made a 3.1-inning bulk-relief appearance in his last outing with the Rays, and he had since settled into a starting role with Durham. Over his three starts prior to his call-up, Englert posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 15.1 innings.

Optioned to Triple-A The Rays optioned Englert to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.

Impact Englert pitched 3.1 shutout innings in bulk relief Friday, giving up just two hits and striking out three batters in the process. The 26-year-old righty now owns a 5.63 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 16 big-league innings this year and could be an option for additional long-relief opportunities in the future. Aaron Brooks was recalled from Durham in a corresponding move.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Reinstated, set to pitch Friday The Rays reinstated Englert (forearm) from the 15-day injured list, and he's expected to pitch in bulk relief Friday against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact The right-hander has been sidelined nearly three weeks due to forearm tightness but is ready to rejoin the Rays this weekend in Boston. Englert has primarily been used as a reliever this season but is now set to stretch out as a starter. He covered 2.1 frames in his last outing before landing on the injured list and has topped out at 48 pitches this season, so he'll need at least a few outings to get fully stretched out.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Candidate to start Friday Englert (forearm) could start Friday in Boston in place of the injured Steven Matz (elbow), Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Rays had sent Englert to Triple-A Durham to begin a rehab assignment. However, Englert was spotted in the clubhouse Wednesday, suggesting the club could have him fill in for Matz instead. Englert has been used in relief this season, but the Rays intend to stretch him out as a rotation option. He hasn't pitched in more than two weeks and is not stretched out, so it would be an abbreviated start if Englert does indeed take the ball Friday.

MAY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for rehab assignment Englert (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Rays plan to stretch Englert out as a depth option for their rotation, so his rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one as he builds up stamina. Englert has not been a full-time starting pitcher since 2022, but he did throw 65 pitches in an extended relief outing earlier this season.

MAY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Progressing in throwing program Englert (forearm) is set to throw a bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Boyle faced live hitters in batting practice Thursday, and he could go on a minor-league rehab assignment after Sunday's bullpen. The right-hander is working his way back from right forearm tightness, and he's tracking toward rejoining Tampa Bay's bullpen in mid-to-late May. It's worth mentioning that Rays want Englert to be built back up to work multiple innings.

MAY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined by tight forearm The Rays placed Englert on the 15-day injured list Monday with right forearm tightness, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Englert had appeared in each of the Rays' last two games and was charged with one run over 2.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. He will miss at least the next two weeks of action, though it's unclear whether he still needs to undergo imaging.

APRIL 20 • ROTOWIRE

Earns first career save Englert earned the save Sunday against the Yankees, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one in his one inning work.

Impact With the Rays up by three and normal high-leverage relievers Griffin Jax and Bryan Baker likely unavailable since they both pitched on Friday and Saturday, it was Englert who was tasked with trying to wrap up the win. Things got dicey as two batters in, Aaron Judge cut the deficit to one with a home run. Later, the tying run got to second base and the go-ahead run to first, but Englert was able to slam the door from there and earn the first save of his career. In five appearances this season, the 26-year-old has a 10.57 ERA and a 2.22 WHIP in 7.2 innings of work.

Hit with loss during bullpen game Englert (0-1) took the loss Tuesday, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits and a walk over 3.2 innings as the Rays were downed 9-2 by the Cubs. He struck out two.

Impact Tampa Bay rolled out a bullpen game after Drew Rasmussen (personal) was a late scratch, with Englert getting the start and lasting 65 pitches (48 strikes). The right-hander won't be available for long-relief duties for a few days as a result, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he were optioned to Triple-A Durham for a fresh arm. Through four appearances this season, Englert has a 9.45 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 4:1 K:BB over 6.2 innings.
