The Detroit Tigers fell to the Cincinnati Reds 8-4, marking their second consecutive loss to Terry Francona's squad. Following a rough outing from the bullpen in their previous game, which ended 11-1, the Tigers made a significant move by optioning pitcher John Brebbia to Triple-A Toledo. Brebbia, with a 7.71 ERA this season, struggled in his last appearance allowing three earned runs in just 22 pitches. In his place, Tyler Owens is called up from the minors. The Tigers, currently underperforming, might turn to the trade market for bullpen help as they navigate injuries, including the pivotal loss of pitcher Jackson Jobe.

The Detroit Tigers have officially designated John Brebbia for assignment following a string of disappointing performances. Brebbia, who had shown promise early in the season, struggled after returning from a right triceps injury, posting an alarming 13.97 ERA in 11 appearances since his comeback. In a move to bolster their bullpen, the Tigers have called up Tyler Owens from Triple-A Toledo. Owens, a right-handed pitcher, has had a rocky season but previously made a successful debut earlier this year with clean innings against the Los Angeles Angels.

Meanwhile, Kerry Carpenter is managing ongoing hamstring tightness, although he reports improvement. He acknowledged the mental hurdle to regain his full speed but confirmed that it hasn’t affected his swing. Carpenter’s cautious approach is indicative of the Tigers’ overall strategy to avoid risking further injury as they navigate the season.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Alex Cobb took a significant step in his recovery from a hip injury, participating in live batting practice for the first time. Cobb, who signed with the Tigers on a one-year contract, faced teammates including outfielder Matt Vierling, who is also on the mend from a shoulder strain. Manager A.J. Hinch noted Cobb's impressive stuff during the session, although he showed signs of discomfort running to cover first base.

The Tigers also welcomed back reliever John Brebbia from the injured list, who had been sidelined due to a triceps strain. Meanwhile, the team is enjoying a strong season with a record comparable to the Los Angeles Dodgers, thanks to a notable run differential. Hinch expressed pride in the team's performance while emphasizing the need to stay focused on upcoming challenges.

The Detroit Tigers are facing challenges in their bullpen as reliever John Brebbia has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right triceps strain. This marks the second reliever the team has put on the IL within two days, following Beau Brieske's similar fate. Brebbia, who has struggled with his recent performance, threw 31 pitches in his last outing against Kansas City before succumbing to injury.

In a strategic move, the Tigers have called up Bailey Horn from Triple-A Toledo to fill the gap left by Brebbia. Horn has had a rocky start in the minors, posting a 6.48 ERA over 8⅓ innings this season. Meanwhile, manager A.J. Hinch expressed concerns over Brebbia's inconsistency on the mound, contrasting it with his earlier efficient performances. The Tigers will need to adapt quickly as they navigate this difficult patch in their season.

The Texas Rangers’ relief pitching situation has taken fantasy players by surprise this season. While Chris Martin and Robert Garcia seemed poised to claim the closer role, manager Bruce Bochy has shown unwavering trust in Luke Jackson, who currently leads the team with five saves. Jackson's performance has been impressive, allowing no runs in his last five outings, while Martin, despite his better overall fantasy numbers, has seen fewer opportunities. Historical performance suggests Jackson may continue his success as a closer, even amid the skepticism surrounding his past struggles.

In contrast, the Pirates’ David Bednar has been demoted from his closer role due to poor performance, making Dennis Santana a top candidate for saves moving forward. Meanwhile, other teams like the Tigers and Red Sox are also experiencing shakeups in their bullpens, with Tommy Kahnle and Aroldis Chapman stepping into closing roles. As the season progresses, how these evolving situations will impact save opportunities remains a key point of interest for fantasy managers.
