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.

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.

The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

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.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Tigers recalled Englert from Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
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 season. He should operate in low-leverage situations.

The Tigers optioned Englert to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Englert has had a solid spring, yielding four runs and posting a 10:2 K:BB over 7.2 innings. He'll get a chance in the Tigers' bullpen eventually, but for now, he'll report to Toledo.

Englert (hip) is scheduled to appear in relief in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
After he was blasted for nine earned runs in 2.1 innings of long relief July 22 against the Padres, Englert never appeared again for the Tigers last season. He was placed on the injured list two days later with a left hip tightness, and though he was sent out on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo in September, he was ultimately shut down again. Englert appears to be healthy again after having the offseason to recover from the hip issue, but he'll need a strong showing in spring training to secure a spot in the Tigers' Opening Day bullpen. He'll be making his second Grapefruit League appearance Wednesday after he surrendered three earned runs on three hits -- all home runs -- in two innings this past Saturday against the Yankees.
