Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Starting bullpen game
Hanifee will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Sunday's game against the Royals, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The right-hander has some experience as an opener and will start Sunday's bullpen game for Detroit. Since getting called up from Triple-A Toledo in late April, Hanifee has allowed five hits with a 4:1 K:BB across 6.2 scoreless frames in four appearances.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Summoned to majors
The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Hanifee has spent the first part of the campaign with Toledo, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB over 11 innings across 10 appearances. He's likely to fill a low-leverage spot in the bullpen in place of Connor Seabold (ankle), who landed on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Optioned to Toledo
The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Hanifee was an effective member of Detroit's bullpen last year, posting a 3.00 ERA over 60 innings with the big club. He gave up four earned runs in just 5.2 innings in the Grapefruit League, however, so the Tigers will send him down to Triple-A to give him a chance to get back on track.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Struggling this spring
Hanifee has a 7.71 ERA and 1.93 WHIP across five Grapefruit League appearances.
Counting his appearance Monday against the Phillies, Hanifee has now allowed a run in four of his five appearances this spring. The righty was a fairly dependable reliever for the Tigers last year, posting a 3.00 ERA across 60 regular-season innings, though he only struck out 40 batters. The lack of true swing-and-miss stuff likely limits Hanifee to a middle-relief role if he's able to make the Opening Day roster, and his fantasy impact figures to be limited in that capacity.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Returned to Triple-A
Hanifee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, per MLB's transactions log.
Hanifee will retreat to the minors after spending the last month with Detroit. During that time, he posted a 2.35 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with five strikeouts over 7.2 frames. Brant Hurter was recalled in a corresponding move.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Up with Detroit
The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.
The right-hander was optioned to Toledo in early August but is back with the Tigers for Sunday's series finale in Minnesota. Hanifee has made 46 relief appearances for the Tigers this season and has recorded 11 holds with a 3.10 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB over 52.1 innings.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Dispatched to Toledo
The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
After giving up two runs (one earned) and taking the loss Friday, Hanifee will be sent down to the minors in order to make room for the newly acquired Charlie Morton. Hanifee still boasts a 3.10 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 52.1 innings in 2025, making it likely he'll put on a Tigers uniform again before the end of the season.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Takes third loss
Hanifee (3-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits while retiring only two batters to take the loss in Friday's 5-4 defeat to the Phillies.
After starter Jack Flaherty allowed just one run across six innings, the Detroit bullpen allowed four runs (three earned) in only two innings to let the game slip away. Hanifee was right in the middle of the collapse, and he allowed his first earned run since July 2, snapping a streak of nine appearances in which he allowed just two unearned runs. The righty still has a solid 3.10 ERA overall this season, and he should remain a key piece of a Detroit relief corps that added several reinforcements before the trade deadline.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Takes loss Saturday
Hanifee (2-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on three hits over an inning of work to take the loss Saturday against the Guardians. He walked one and struck out one.
Working the top of the 10th inning with the score tied 3-3, Hanifee picked an inopportune time to have his worst outing of the season. Coming into Saturday, the righty had allowed only six earned runs all year and had yet to allow more than one earned run in any single appearance. Hanifee still has a strong 3.24 ERA despite the hiccup, and he remains a key member of Detroit's bullpen.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Takes first loss Saturday
Hanifee (2-1) allowed a run on two hits and a walk while retiring only two batters to take the loss in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to the Blue Jays.
Hanifee worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 game and allowed a one-out double to Daulton Varsho. The righty came back to get the next batter, then intentionally walked Anthony Santander to bring Ernie Clement to the plate with two outs. Clement proceeded to deliver a walk-off single, saddling Hanifee with the loss. The reliever has been solid this season with a 2.35 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 19 appearances.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Earns second win Wednesday
Hanifee (2-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Astros. He allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three.
Detroit starter Jackson Jobe only managed to cover four innings, which opened the door for Hanifee to earn his second win out of the bullpen this season. The righty has been stellar for the Tigers, allowing just two earned runs across 16.1 innings while notching 12 strikeouts. After posting a 1.84 ERA during the regular season last year, Hanifee has carved out a role as a reliable reliever in Detroit.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Records first win
Hanifee (1-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Monday against the Padres. He allowed one hit and struck out two.
After recording his first hold of the season in his last appearance Saturday, Hanifee notched his first win of the year Monday. The righty allowed an earned run in each of his first two 2025 outings, but since then, he's rattled off eight straight appearances without allowing any earned runs. Overall, Hanifee has a strong 1.54 ERA across 11.2 innings out of Detroit's bullpen.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Earns first hold Saturday
Hanifee worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning of relief and earn a hold in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Royals.
Following seven stellar innings from starter Casey Mize, Hanifee pitched a clean eighth before turning things over to Will Vest for the save, with Detroit's usual high-leverage options unavailable. It was the first hold of the season for Hanifee, who was just recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday. The righty has been effective when given an opportunity in the majors, as he has a 1.86 ERA this year across 9.2 innings, and he posted a 1.84 ERA across 29.1 regular-season innings in 2024.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Returning to big club
The Tigers recalled Hanifee from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.
The move replenishes Detroit's bullpen after Beau Brieske (ankle) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Hanifee cracked the Tigers' Opening Day roster, and in seven appearances before being optioned to Triple-A on Tuesday, he posted a 2.25 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across eight innings.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Optioned to Toledo
The Tigers optioned Hanifee to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Hanifee pitched 1.1 innings during the Tigers' loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday, surrendering two unearned runs on three hits and a walk. He now owns a 2.25 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through eight innings, but he'll end up as the roster casualty needed to make room for Keider Montero, who will be promoted to start Wednesday's contest.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Cracks Opening Day roster
Hanifee will be included on the Tigers' Opening Day roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
He ultimately got the call over Jason Foley, who was surprisingly optioned to Triple-A Toledo earlier Wednesday. Hanifee spun 10.2 scoreless innings this spring with a 9:3 K:BB and held a 1.84 ERA and 23:6 K:BB across 29.1 regular-season frames with the Tigers last season. He's better at getting groundballs than strikeouts and will likely serve in middle relief.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Vying for final bullpen spot
Hanifee, Brant Hurter and Andrew Chafin are likely competing for Detroit's final bullpen spot to begin the regular season, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Hanifee is a righty, while Hurter and Chafin are southpaws, so the decision could come down to how manager A.J. Hinch decides to construct his bullpen. Even if Hanifee doesn't make the cut initially, he figures to be in the mix for MLB action at some point this year. Hanifee impressed in a small sample last year, posting a 1.84 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 29.1 regular-season innings for the Tigers.

Tigers' Brenan Hanifee: Continues strong spring play
After tossing two scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Hanifee now has a 0.00 ERA and 0.82 WHIP across 7.1 innings this spring along with seven strikeouts.
Hanifee was a pleasant surprise for the Tigers in 2024, posting a 1.84 ERA and 1.12 WHIP across 29.1 regular-season innings after getting called up to the majors in early August. The righty often served as an opener and gave Detroit some length out of the bullpen. Based on his strong showing last year and impressive spring so far, Hanifee should have a roster spot locked up, and he may see more high-leverage work as the season progresses.
