Wed Apr 2400:57Jason Foley Notches Seventh Save Of Season Tuesday
Detroit Tigers closer Jason Foley stayed perfect in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rays, earning his seventh save. Foley came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two and delivered a 1-2-3 performance with a strikeout. The 28-year-old has had a spotless start to the season, converting all of his save opportunities with a 2-0 record and a 0.00 ERA, a 9.00 K/9 rate, and a 4.91 BB/9 rate. The walk rate is higher than fantasy managers would prefer, but everything else has been fantastic.

Mon Apr 100:45Jason Foley Picks Up Another Save On Sunday
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Jason Foley collected his second save of the season on Sunday, helping the team to a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Foley didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike out anyone either in his two-thirds of an inning. The closer job in Detroit may be Foley's to lose, as the 28-year-old has gotten both of the Tigers opportunities and converted both. It's helped that his main competition, Alex Lange, walked three batters and retired only one in his only appearance this year. Foley should be rostered in any league where saves matter at this point.

Thu Mar 2819:18Jason Foley Earns The Save For Tigers
Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Foley picked up the save in a 1-0 win over the White Sox on Thursday. It was Foley who entered the game with one out in the bottom of the ninth, not the team's projected closer Alex Lange, with Foley striking out the only two batters he faced. Lange had his share of struggles last season and his grip on the closer role was tenuous, but neither pitcher had much success this spring. It's unclear at this point why Lange didn't pitch, as offseason additions Shelby Miller and Andrew Chafin also got work in Thursday's game. Regardless, it seems Jason Foley could be in line for additional save opportunities after Thursday's performance and will be a popular waiver wire add.

Mon Mar 1111:35Jason Foley Dealing With Arm Fatigue
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch stated that reliever Jason Foley, who was scheduled to pitch in Sunday's Grapefruit League matchup with the Mets, did not pitch due to "mid-camp pitching fatigue." At least it doesn't sound serious, but on the other hand, fatigue this early in the season doesn't seem to bode well for the rest of the year. Nevertheless, it doesn't sound like Foley is in danger of missing any regular season action at this point. Foley is currently used as a setup reliever, but closer Alex Lange's struggles both last year and this spring could make Foley a candidate to take over as closer if Lange relinquishes the job. Foley pitched well last season for the Tigers with a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 69 IP, even collecting seven saves along the way.

Sat Aug 12 202321:57Jason Foley Notches Save No. 5
Detroit Tigers right-hander Jason Foley allowed one hit across a scoreless 1 2/3 innings to earn the save during Saturday's 6-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. Foley entered the game in the eighth inning to protect a four-run lead. The 27-year-old allowed one hit but was able to record a four-out save to secure Detroit's win. It was Foley's fifth save of the season. He owns a 2.09 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 46 strikeouts over 51 1/3 innings in 2023. Foley was reinstated from the bereavement list and could see some additional save opportunities, with current closer Alex Lange walking nine batters over his last three games.

Tue Aug 8 202321:39Jason Foley Landing On Bereavement List
Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Foley will head to the bereavement list following Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Minnesota Twins, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com. In a corresponding move, the club will recall right-hander Trey Wingenter. Foley has enjoyed a career year in the back end of Detroit's bullpen, posting a 2.16 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 46 strikeouts, 19 holds, and four saves across 50 innings. While the 27-year-old is out for a minimum of three days, fantasy managers can expect more hold opportunities for the likes of Jose Cisnero and Tyler Holton.

Thu Jul 20 202321:45Jason Foley Notches Save No. 4
Detroit Tigers right-hander Jason Foley allowed one hit over a scoreless inning to pick up the save during Thursday's 3-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. Detroit's primary closer, Alex Lange, had pitched the previous two games. The Tigers called on Foley in the ninth inning to protect a three-run lead. He worked around a hit to earn his fourth save of the season. The 27-year-old owns a 2.13 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 37 strikeouts over 42 1/3 innings in 2023. Foley is Detroit's top setup man, and he should be rostered in league formats that reward the category saves and holds.

Mon Jun 19 202300:58Jason Foley Records Six-Out Save
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Jason Foley picked up his third save of the season with his brilliant performance in a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins. Tasked with getting out of a two-on, nobody-out jam in what was suddenly becoming a close game thanks to another Alex Lange blowup, Foley delivered and only allowed one inherited runner to score to preserve the lead. He then came back out for the ninth and quickly finished off the Twins, notching four strikeouts in total. This game might have sealed the fate of the Tiger's closer role, with Foley looking like the clear option for now while Lange likely takes a back seat until he finds it. The former should be added in deeper leagues where saves matter, especially by managers who need to handcuff Lange.

Wed Apr 26 202300:48Jason Foley Earns Four-Out Save Tuesday
Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Jason Foley picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers. Foley entered the game in the eighth inning with two outs and the tying run on second, but he left that runner stranded by getting the third out on a strikeout. He then shut the door with a 1-2-3 ninth inning with a strikeout. Alex Lange had pitched the two previous days, but he and Foley have both pitched well this season. Foley has now converted both save opportunities with a 1.74 ERA, 10 strikeouts, and three walks in 10 1/3 innings pitched. Both Lange and Foley hold fantasy value in deeper roto leagues at this time.

Wed Apr 19 202311:46Jason Foley Notches His First Career Save Tuesday
Detroit Tigers right-hander Jason Foley earned his first career save in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians. He pitched the ninth inning and preserved the 1-0 lead, striking out one without allowing a baserunner. Foley is off to a strong start on the mound, producing a 1.13 ERA with eight punchouts and three walks across eight innings of work. Alex Lange, the Tigers closer, finished game one of the twin bill, so the 27-year-old was likely unavailable for the second contest. Fantasy owners can't expect Foley to receive too many save opportunities this season, but with already three holds under his belt, he has underrated value in hold leagues.

Wed Feb 22 202320:36Jason Foley To Have Prominent Bullpen Role
Detroit Tigers right-hander Jason Foley is hoping to have an increased role in the bullpen in 2023. With the departures of several bullpen arms over the offseason that depleted the Tigers' pitching depth, Foley will have an opportunity to shine. Relievers such as Andrew Chafin, Wily Peralta, Daniel Norrisand Kyle Funkhouser were all dealt to different teams over the offseason. If Foley can emulate the success that he had in 2022, he could be in line for some closing opportunities in 2023. The 27-year-old composed a 3.88 ERA (2.76 FIP) while striking out 43 batters across 60 1/3 innings. He's currently listed as a setup man, according to Fangraphs, but Foley has been seriously considered to become the next Tigers' closer.
