Foley will be sidelined for at least the next week with a right shoulder strain.

The Tigers sent Jason Foley to Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, per team updates, despite his prior role as the team’s closer.

Foley’s 5 runs in 7.1 spring innings with a 10:0 K:BB, after leading the Tigers with 28 saves last year, shifts him to the minors Wednesday, leaving Beau Brieske, Tyler Holton, Tommy Kahnle, and Will Vest in a murky save mix. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on a 2025 return to Detroit’s bullpen.

Jason Foley delivered a flawless inning to notch a save in the Tigers' 4-3 victory over the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

He threw 12 pitches, allowed no hits or walks, and struck out two batters. This performance underscores Foley's role as a reliable closer for Detroit, especially given his solid season stats including a 3.17 ERA and 27 saves. His ability to maintain a low BABIP (.263) and a decent strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.30) adds to his fantasy value, although his K/9 rate (6.9) might not dazzle. Nevertheless, Foley's consistency in save situations should keep him as a viable option in most fantasy leagues, particularly those that value saves and ERA.

Jason Foley delivered a flawless inning, securing his 24th save in the Tigers' 7-6 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

He threw 13 pitches, allowed no hits or walks, and struck out one batter. This performance underscores Foley's role as a reliable closer for Detroit, despite a less-than-stellar K/9 rate that might concern some fantasy managers. His ERA and WHIP remain solid at 3.02 and 1.18, respectively, enhancing his value in leagues that reward saves and ERA. However, his moderate strikeout numbers and FIP suggest a cautious approach for those in strikeout-heavy formats. Foley's consistency in save situations, reflected in his 24 saves this season, keeps him relevant in most fantasy baseball settings.
