Cisnero (3-3) retired both of the batters he faced and picked up the win Saturday against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero retired the final two batters in the top of the eighth inning, and the Tigers scored four times in the bottom of the frame to make the righty the pitcher of record. Cisnero has been solid for Detroit this season with a 3.38 ERA, three wins and 30 strikeouts across 26.2 innings.

Cisnero (2-3) allowed a two-run homer along with one punchout in 1.1 innings as he was dealt the loss against the White Sox on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero relieved Casey Mize with a man on first and one out in the sixth inning and immediately wound up in a jam after nailing Tim Anderson with a fastball. Three pitches later, Eloy Jimenez was rounding the bases after Cisnero served him a high fastball that was taken yard to put the White Sox up 4-3. The right-hander is in quite the rut, as he has allowed seven runs over his last four innings, and he could be demoted to a lower-leverage role in the near future.

Cisnero (2-2) pitched 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts to earn the win in the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero came on for the last out of the fifth and then pitched the sixth, while Bryan Garcia pitched the seventh for the save after the Tigers staged a late rally. Nobody has really taken the closer role and run with it in Detroit, so for now, Cisnero, Garcia and Gregory Soto will likely continue to share save opportunities.

Cisnero (1-2) allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk to blow the save and take the loss Saturday against the Twins,

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero started the ninth inning by allowing a walk and a single, putting himself in trouble right away. A Miguel Sano single with one out tied the game at 3-3. Cisnero retired the next batter, but then Byron Buxton hustled out an infield single to bring home the winning run and saddle Cisnero with his first blown save of the season. The 31-year-old still has a solid 2.21 ERA, so he should continue to see some save opportunities, but the Tigers may also turn to Gregory Soto and Buck Farmer depending on matchups, making the Detroit closer situation murky at the moment.

Cisnero could be in the mix for saves after Joe Jimenez lost his grip on the closer's role, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers don't plan on replacing Jimenez with another traditional closer, as Cisnero, Gregory Soto and Buck Farmer are expected to fill the role depending on matchups. Cisnero has been lights out in 2020, with a 1.62 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB through 16.2 innings.

Cisnero tossed two-thirds of an inning Sunday, allowing no runs on no hits and no walks while striking out one as he earned the save against Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Joe Jimenez came on in the ninth inning to see if he could turn things around in a non-save situation. However, he was hit hard once again as he allowed three runs while only recording one out. Cisnero was much more effective as he recorded the final two outs of the game to earn his first career save. The right-hander has been dominant this season with a 1.76 ERA and 16:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings. Although Jimenez may be losing his hold on the closer role, Buck Farmer could be the first in line to pick up saves on a more regular basis.

Cisnero (1-0) allowed no runs on one hit and no walks while striking out one over one inning as he earned the win Sunday against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

After giving up one run during his one-inning appearance Opening Day, Cisnero was sharp in the eighth inning of Sunday's 1-1 contest and earned the win after the Tigers were able to take the lead in the next half inning. Despite the 31-year-old's rare win against the Reds, his fantasy value is limited as a late reliever who is unlikely to see many ninth-inning opportunities.

Cisnero looked sharp in an intrasquad game Saturday and should be able to secure a bullpen spot with a decent showing the rest of summer camp, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero was thought to have a pretty firm grip on a bullpen spot heading into spring training earlier this year, but he struggled before play was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. He looked good Saturday, however, striking out three of the six batters he faced, and he should be able to solidify his spot with a few more strong showings. Cisnero tallied a 4.33 ERA and 40 strikeouts across 35.1 innings for the Tigers last season.

Cisnero allowed 11 runs (eight earned) across four Grapefruit League innings before MLB suspended spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero entered the spring being talked about as a candidate to pitch in the seventh inning as a bridge to Buck Farmer and Joe Jimenez. That could still happen, but it wasn't an encouraging camp for the 30-year-old. Cisnero will likely find himself in a crowded bullpen when the season is able to start and will have to pitch well to hold onto a significant role.

Cisnero is a candidate to pitch in the seventh inning this year, setting up Buck Farmer and closer Joe Jimenez, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Detroit manager Ron Gardenhire likes to have established roles in his bullpen, and at the moment, only Farmer and Jimenez seem set. Cisnero posted a mediocre 4.33 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 35.1 innings with the Tigers last year, though he managed an impressive 40 strikeouts as well. The 30-year-old throws hard and doesn't have a ton of competition in Detroit, so he could secure a middle relief role with a strong spring.
