Will Vest, the Detroit Tigers' standout reliever with 12 saves, is anticipated to avoid the injured list after a concerning incident during a game against the Cincinnati Reds. Vest experienced discomfort in his right pinky finger in the eighth inning, prompting his early exit following a wild pitch. Thankfully, manager A.J. Hinch has expressed optimism regarding his availability, stating that initial tests have yielded positive results.

With a 2.57 ERA over 35 innings, Vest has demonstrated significant prowess as a key player for the Tigers, ranking 14th in fWAR among MLB relievers. His ability to induce ground balls at an impressive 59.1% rate places him among the elite in the league. The Tigers' two-closer strategy, alongside Tommy Kahnle, has proven effective, resulting in a combined 20 saves so far this season.
