Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Lange closed out Monday's 6-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals, pitching one inning and allowing no baserunners to earn his 11th save of the season. It was a good rebound appearance for the right-hander, who walked two, hit two batters, and gave up three runs on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins. Lange now owns a 3.99 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and a 30.4% strikeout rate over 29.1 innings. Fantasy managers should continue to roll with the 27-year-old, as he's the best arm in Detroit's bullpen and will keep getting the majority of save opportunities.--Spencer Seguin

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange (lat) has begun playing catch three times a week from 120 feet, according to the team. Lange underwent lat surgery in June which caused him to miss the entire second half of the 2024 season. Before the injury, the 29-year-old posted a 3.34 ERA and 1.77 WHIP across 18 2/3 innings. He tallied two saves and posted an underwhelming 17:21 BB:K ratio. However, he did generate whiffs at an elite 33.3% mark. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to Spring Training, as he may be able to participate, given his current pace. While Jason Foley will likely operate as the go-to ninth-inning option in Detroit this coming season, Lange could eventually mix in for opportunities as he tallied 26 saves during the 2023 season.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

Detroit Tigers right-handed reliever Alex Lange (lat) is going to need surgery for a right-lat avulsion, which is scheduled for early next week. The Tigers aren't putting a timetable on Lange's recovery, but his season is now likely over. The 28-year-old suffered the injury while pitching for Triple-A Toledo last Friday and will now be out for the foreseeable future. He opened the year as one of the favorites for saves in Detroit's bullpen, but a poor start to the year led to a demotion to the minors in May. Lange produced a 4.34 ERA, a 1.77 WHIP, two saves, 21 strikeouts and 17 walks in 18 2/3 innings out of the bullpen in Detroit earlier this year. It's been a hard fall for Lange after he recorded a season-high 26 saves for the Tigers in 2023. If he wasn't already, he can be dropped in all single-year fantasy leagues. For the time being, Jason Foley is Detroit's closer at the major-league level.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Detroit Tigers optioned right-hander Alex Lange to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday and recalled right-hander Mason Englert from Toledo in a corresponding move. The move to demote Lange to the minors comes a day after he gave up four earned runs in one inning of work in the team's loss to the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. The 28-year-old opened the year as Detroit's closer but will now try to figure some things out in the minors after going 0-3 so far in 2024 with a career-worst 4.34 ERA (3.94 FIP), a 1.77 WHIP, two saves, 17 walks and 21 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. Lange had a career-high 26 saves for the Tigers last year but has fallen on hard times so far this year, mainly for his inability to control the strike zone. He should be back in Detroit eventually, but he's not guaranteed to win the closer role back from Jason Foley.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Lange got destroyed on Sunday, allowing four runs in just ⅔ IP in a 9-3 loss to the Houston Astros. Lange allowed five hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout. The 28-year-old had been pitching well recently and seemed to be making a case to be re-inserted into the closer discussion, but a lot of that goodwill went away today with this disastrous performance. The Tigers will likely continue to use Jason Foley in the ninth inning, although they don't seem to fully trust him of late. Still, a lack of other options makes Foley the go-to guy for now.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
