The Rays optioned Englert to Triple-A Durham on Saturday.
Englert pitched 3.1 shutout innings in bulk relief Friday, giving up just two hits and striking out three batters in the process. The 26-year-old righty now owns a 5.63 ERA and 1.56 WHIP through 16 big-league innings this season and could be an option for additional opportunities with the Rays down the road as a starter or multi-inning reliever. Right-hander Aaron Brooks was promoted from Durham in a corresponding move.

Rays' Mason Englert: Reinstated, set to pitch Friday
Rotowire
The Rays reinstated Englert (forearm) from the 15-day injured list, and he's expected to pitch in bulk relief Friday against the Red Sox, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.
The right-hander has been sidelined nearly three weeks due to forearm tightness but is ready to rejoin the Rays this weekend in Boston. Englert has primarily been used as a reliever this season but is now set to stretch out as a starter. He covered 2.1 frames in his last outing before landing on the injured list and has topped out at 48 pitches this season, so he'll need at least a few outings to get fully stretched out.

Rays' Mason Englert: Candidate to start Friday
Rotowire
Englert (forearm) could start Friday in Boston in place of the injured Steven Matz (elbow), Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays had sent Englert to Triple-A Durham to begin a rehab assignment. However, Englert was spotted in the clubhouse Wednesday, suggesting the club could have him fill in for Matz instead. Englert has been used in relief this season, but the Rays intend to stretch him out as a rotation option. He hasn't pitched in more than two weeks and is not stretched out, so it would be an abbreviated start if Englert does indeed take the ball Friday.

Rays' Mason Englert: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Englert (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The Rays plan to stretch Englert out as a depth option for their rotation, so his rehab assignment will likely be a lengthy one as he builds up stamina. Englert has not been a full-time starting pitcher since 2022, but he did throw 65 pitches in an extended relief outing earlier this season.

Rays' Mason Englert: Sidelined by tight forearm
Rotowire
The Rays placed Englert on the 15-day injured list Monday due to right forearm tightness.
Englert had appeared in each of the Rays' last two games and was charged with one run over 2.1 frames in Sunday's loss to the Pirates. Though it's unclear whether Englert still needs to undergo imaging, manager Kevin Cash told Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times that the right-hander's forearm injury isn't viewed as a long-term concern.

Rays' Mason Englert: Throwing bullpen session
Rotowire
Englert (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Englert landed on the 15-day injured list earlier this month with a right shoulder impingement, but he would appear to have a shot to make it back before the end of the season. The righty has pitched well for the Rays when healthy, collecting a 3.83 ERA and 44:11 K:BB over 44.2 innings.

Rays' Mason Englert: Rejoins big-league bullpen
Rotowire
The Rays recalled Englert from Triple-A Durham on Monday.
Englert has made 13 appearances out of the Rays' bullpen in 2025, posting a 4.84 ERA but a more promising 22:4 K:BB over 22.1 innings. He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Mason Montgomery, who was sent down to Durham.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Returns from IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Iowa reinstated Englert (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Thursday.
Englert made his first appearance for Toledo since July 4 later that day, striking out one over a scoreless inning in the club's 5-3 loss to Iowa. The right-hander possesses a spot on the Tigers' 40-man roster, but he may not be in the mix for a call-up anytime soon after posting a 5.95 ERA in 19.2 innings with the big club before getting optioned to the minors June 25 and then getting hurt shortly thereafter.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Beginning rehab assignment
Rotowire
Englert (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Englert has been sidelined since July 6 due to inflammation in his throwing elbow but will begin pitching in games Tuesday. The 24-year-old has bounced between the majors and Triple-A Toledo this season, logging a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP across 19.2 innings with Detroit.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Shelved with elbow inflammation
Rotowire
Triple-A Toledo placed Englert on its 7-day injured list July 6 with right elbow inflammation, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Effective in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Englert tossed 2.1 scoreless innings with a strikeout in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the White Sox.
Englert efficiently retired all seven batters he faced on just 24 pitches. The righty allowed five runs in an outing earlier this month, which has his ERA sitting at 5.79, but he's been mostly good otherwise. Not counting that rough appearance, Englert has a 3.78 ERA across 16.2 innings this year. He should continue to work in a long-relief role for the Tigers, which limits his fantasy upside.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
Just one day after being sent down to the minors to make room for Shelby Miller, Englert will return to Detroit's bullpen as a replacement for Alex Faedo (hip). Englert was lit up for three runs in one inning during his season debut, but he has since turned in five scoreless innings across his last three MLB appearances. He'll likely serve in middle relief while Faedo is on the IL.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Optioned to Toledo
Rotowire
The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Englert has given up three earned runs in six innings since coming up from Triple-A in late May, but he will now return to Toledo in order to make room for Shelby Miller (elbow), who was activated from the IL on Tuesday. Englert owns an impressive 2.35 ERA and 1.09 WHIP through 23 innings with the Mud Hens, and he could be the first choice to return to Detroit if the Tigers run into further depth problems in their bullpen.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Tosses two scoreless innings
Rotowire
Englert tossed two scoreless innings of relief with two strikeouts in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates, which finished as an 8-0 Detroit win.
Detroit ace Tarik Skubal dazzled across seven scoreless innings, then handed things off to Englert with a comfortable lead. Englert allowed three earned runs over an inning of work in his season debut six days ago, but he's logged three scoreless innings since then. The righty will remain a low-leverage reliever for now, which limits his fantasy upside, though his role could expand if the Tigers trade any veterans from their bullpen at some point down the road.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Recalled from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Englert has put up a 2.35 ERA and 34:9 K:BB over 23 innings with Toledo this season. The 24-year-old collected a 5.46 ERA across 31 appearances for the Tigers last year. He should operate in low-leverage situations.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Pulled off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Englert (hip) was pulled off his rehab assignment Sunday to undergo further medical evaluation, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Englert had allowed nine earned runs on 16 hits and four walks through 11.1 innings of work with Triple-A Toledo. He's been on the major-league injured list since late July due to left hip tightness and now seems doubtful to make it back to the bigs this year.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Set for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Englert (hip) is set to begin a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Toledo, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Out since July 24 due to left hip tightness, Englert should be an option again for the Tigers' bullpen early next week. The 23-year-old right-hander has posted a 5.46 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB across his first 56 major-league innings this season with Detroit.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Sidelined with tight hip
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Englert on the 15-day injured list Monday with left hip tightness.
Englert's move to the IL comes two days after he was lit up for nine earned runs on 10 hits and one walk over 2.1 innings of long relief in Saturday's 14-3 loss to the Padres. Prior to the disastrous outing, Englert had been a serviceable middle-relief option for the Tigers, accruing a 4.19 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 40:16 K:BB in 53.2 innings. A timeline for Englert's return from the injury hasn't been established, but he'll be eligible for activation beginning Aug. 7.

Tigers' Mason Englert: Earns win Friday
Rotowire
Englert (2-2) allowed one run on four hits across two innings of relief and earned the win Friday against the Twins. He had two strikeouts.
Englert followed opener Will Vest and was able to earn the win despite allowing a lot of traffic on the bases during his two innings of work. The righty has a middling 4.87 ERA and 1.52 WHIP for the season, limiting his fantasy appeal. He has at least been able to give the Tigers some length out of the bullpen, as 14 of his 23 appearances this year have covered at least two innings.
