2024 Fantasy Outlook
Foley relied on his sinker more than ever in 2023 (69.3% pitch usage) after adding a tick of velocity (97.2 mph average) on the pitch. 45 of Foley's 55 total strikeouts came via his sinker, which also yielded a 57.1% groundball percentage that was 14th-highest among qualified relievers. The 28-year-old also set career-best marks in games played (70), innings (69.0), WHIP (1.16) and holds (28) while leading Tigers relievers with a 2.82 WPA. Foley briefly took over closing duties in August and finished the year with 7 saves despite lacking whiffs (17.9%) and strikeouts (19.9%). The right-hander has been one of Detroit's most reliable relief pitchers over the past two seasons and should reprise his high-leverage role again in 2024. Even more save chances could be in his future, especially if Alex Lange's control issues persist. Read Past Outlooks
Locks down 23rd save
Foley earned the save Sunday, striking out two over 1.1 perfect innings against the Orioles.
ANALYSIS
Foley was called upon to finish out the eighth inning after an Adley Rutschman homer brought the Orioles to within one. He struck out Coby Mayo, then retired the side in the ninth to finish off his 23rd save of the season. It was a nice rebound effort for Foley, who had allowed two runs in his last appearance, the first time he had allowed an earned run since the end of July.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Foley will be one of the relievers trying to throw his name into the closing mix for the Tigers following their offseason trade of Gregory Soto. The big sinkerballer was one of the team's better relievers for most of 2022 before stumbling to the finish line in the final month. Foley doesn't get strikeouts but he boasts a career 56.8 percent ground ball rate and last year had just a 4.3 percent walk rate. The microscopic walk rate was atypical of the 27-year-old and he might need it to stick in order to make up for the lack of punchouts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing trade interest
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports the Tigers have received "significant interest" for Foley on the trade market.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander had a 3.88 ERA as a middle-relief option for Detroit last year, and he's excelled in a setup role this season with a 2.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 39:10 K:BB over 44.1 innings. Foley isn't eligible for arbitration until 2025, so the Tigers aren't likely to move him without a strong offer.
