FEBRUARY 12 • MLB.COM

Sent to Tampa Bay The Rays acquired Englert from the Tigers on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Drew Sommers.

Impact Englert will get a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, with Tampa Bay placing Nate Lavender (elbow) on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding transaction. The 25-year-old right-hander spent the majority of the 2024 season with Triple-A Toledo but made 12 appearances (one start) for Detroit, logging a 5.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB In 21.2 innings. Englert will likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role out of the bullpen if he secures a spot on the Rays' Opening Day roster.

Removed from 40-man roster The Tigers designated Englert for assignment Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact A 40-man roster spot needed to be freed up with Jack Flaherty's deal becoming official. Englert has collected a 5.45 ERA and 57:22 K:BB in 77.2 innings over the last two seasons with Detroit. The 25-year-old has a 29.1 percent strikeout rate and 7.4 percent walk rate in the minors and has minor-league options left, so he could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.comreports.

Impact Englert tossed two scoreless frames as the Tigers' opener in Wednesday's win over the Angels but now finds himself back in the minors. He's clearing out to make room on the roster for Will Vest's return from paternity leave.

Opening Wednesday Englert will serve as the opener for Wednesday's game against the Angels, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact 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 News: Mason Englert Returns From Injured List The Detroit Tigers have recalled Mason Englert from Triple-A Toledo.

AUGUST 26, 2024 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Recalled by Detroit The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.

Impact Englert returned from Toledo's 7-day injured list Thursday after recovering from right elbow inflammation. Across his 11 major-league outings this season, he's posted a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 19.2 innings. Englert will join the Tigers' bullpen with left-hander Will Vest going on the paternity list.

Returns from IL Triple-A Iowa reinstated Englert (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Thursday.

Impact 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.

Beginning rehab assignment Englert (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Englert has been sidelined since July 6 due to inflammation in his throwing elbow but will begin pitching in games Tuesday. The 24-year-old has bounced between the majors and Triple-A Toledo this season, logging a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 19.2 innings with Detroit.

AUGUST 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Shelved with elbow inflammation Triple-A Toledo placed Englert on its 7-day injured list July 6 with right elbow inflammation, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Englert produced a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over his 11 relief appearances for the Tigers before he was optioned to Triple-A on June 25. He made just three appearances for Toledo before being shut down with the elbow injury.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.

Impact 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.

JUNE 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses two scoreless innings 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.

Impact 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.

MAY 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Triple-A The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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 season. He should operate in low-leverage situations.

MAY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for second spring appearance Englert (hip) is scheduled to appear in relief in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact 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.
