The Rays acquired Englert from the Tigers on Wednesday in exchange for left-hander Drew Sommers.

EDGE Analysis

Englert will get a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster, with Tampa Bay placing Nate Lavender (elbow) on the 60-day injured list in a corresponding transaction. The 25-year-old right-hander spent the majority of the 2024 season with Triple-A Toledo but made 12 appearances (one start) for Detroit, logging a 5.40 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB In 21.2 innings. Englert will likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role out of the bullpen if he secures a spot on the Rays' Opening Day roster.

The Tigers designated Englert for assignment Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 40-man roster spot needed to be freed up with Jack Flaherty's deal becoming official. Englert has collected a 5.45 ERA and 57:22 K:BB in 77.2 innings over the last two seasons with Detroit. The 25-year-old has a 29.1 percent strikeout rate and 7.4 percent walk rate in the minors and has minor-league options left, so he could draw some interest via trade or waivers.

The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Englert tossed two scoreless frames as the Tigers' opening pitcher in Wednesday's win over the Angels but now finds himself back in the minors. He's clearing out to make room on the active roster for Will Vest's return from paternity leave.

EDGE Analysis

Englert was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, and Wednesday will mark his first time pitching in the majors since June 24. The 24-year-old righty owns a 5.95 ERA and 1.32 WHIP through 19.2 innings with Detroit on the season, although he's allowed five runs (four earned) over 13.2 frames in Triple-A since his last MLB outing. Kenta Maeda is expected to work in bulk relief once Englert is taken out of the game.

Triple-A Iowa reinstated Englert (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

They need to free up a roster spot for Keider Montero, who will start Wednesday versus the Phillies, and Englert's locker at Comerica Park has been cleaned out. Englert holds a 5.95 ERA and 14:4 K:BB over 19.2 relief innings this season.

Englert tossed 2.1 scoreless innings with a strikeout in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

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.
