Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After leading the Tigers with 26 saves in 2023, Lange took a step back last season, in part due to injury. He started the year in the mix for saves once again, but he was demoted to Triple-A Toledo in May as he struggled with walks and overall effectiveness. The righty then suffered a right lat avulsion a few weeks after his demotion, which brought his campaign to a close following surgery. Lange is optimistic that he'll be back to full health for the start of spring training, though he's been bypassed by Jason Foley, Tyler Holton and others in Detroit's bullpen pecking order. At his best, Lange has the ability to miss plenty of bats. However, control remains an issue, as he's walked a whopping 62 batters across 84.2 innings since the start of the 2023 season. That won't get it done no matter how many strikeouts he racks up, so Lange will need to display a better command of the strike zone before he regains a high-leverage role. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Tigers in March of 2025.
Sharp in rehab appearance
Lange (lat) tossed a perfect inning of relief with two strikeouts to begin the next phase of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.
Analysis
Lange was shut down for the season last June after undergoing surgery on his right lat, and he's been on the 60-day injured list since the offseason, so the Tigers will likely proceed cautiously with his rehab program. He started his assignment by making two appearances for High-A West Michigan earlier this month and will now spend some time with the Mud Hens ramping up. The righty could eventually give Detroit another arm for its bullpen, though his struggles with control persisted in 2024, as he walked 17 batters in 18.2 major-league innings before eventually getting demoted to Triple-A and then getting injured. He's walked at least four batters per nine innings in each of his four MLB seasons and will need to improve in that area to stick with the Tigers.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Lange was outstanding to open 2023, compiling a 1.16 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 32 strikeouts over the first two months of the season. He shared closing duties in April, but took over in May to convert 8 of Detroit's 9 saves during the month. He maintained the role throughout a disastrous June (11.57 ERA), then rebounded, but his struggles persisted in August with more walks (13) than strikeouts (11) over 10 innings. Lange was bypassed for save chances until he improved his control, but he finished the year with a team-leading 26 saves (15th in the majors). His 15.6% walk rate that was 2nd-worst among qualified relievers, but his 39.1% whiff percentage was in the 99th percentile thanks to his elite curveball and effective changeup, while his K-rate was above-average at 27.4%. Lange has a chance to open 2024 as the Tigers closer, but Detroit may look for a more consistent option this off-season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Focus on throwing strikes
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Thursday that Lange will focus on strike-throwing after being demoted to Triple-A Toledo, reports Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic.
Analysis
The right-hander issued two walks and hit a batter while giving up four runs to the Royals on Wednesday, which included him firing a ball into the netting behind home plate in frustration. Lange actually entered that contest with a 2.55 ERA, but his command has been an issue all season, as he sports an 8.2 BB/9, plus four wild pitches. The 28-year-old tallied 26 saves for Detroit in 2023, but even then walks were a problem, as he issued 45 in 67 appearances.
