Brant Hurter DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Detroit Tigers left-hander Brant Hurter picked up a save in his team's 5-0 win over the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Hurter pitched the final three innings of the game while allowing no runs, walking one, and striking out three. The veteran hurler has now earned two saves this season, to go along with a 3.68 ERA and six strikeouts over 7 1/3 innings of work. Despite the two saves, Hurter is not the Tigers' primary closer, so he does not look like a priority waiver add at the moment.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Brant Hurter picked up a save in a 9-6 win over the Seattle Mariners on Monday. Hurter allowed two runs on three hits over three innings while striking out two to earn the first save of his career. The veteran southpaw has now made two appearances for the Tigers in 2025, allowing three earned runs on four hits over 4 1/3 innings of work. The Detroit closer situation is in flux after they demoted 2024 closer Jason Foley to Triple-A ahead of Opening Day, but Hurter is going to have to do a better job at limiting runs if he wants to work his way into the ninth-inning committee the Tigers appear content on utilizing.

Detroit Tigers left-handed pitcher Brant Hurter could be in danger of losing a spot on the major-league roster. Cody Stavenhagen of the Athletic noted that with the Tigers bringing in Andrew Chafin, Hurter could be the most "vulnerable." Given Hurter's slow start in spring training, Chafin would likely replace his spot in the bullpen. Last season, Hurter held a 2.58 ERA with a 0.88 WHIP across 45 1/3 innings. He tallied 38 punchouts and showed elite command, serving up walks at a strong 3.8 percent. However, Stavenhagen noted that Hurter's command during spring training has been "iffy" which could eventually push him out of this role. If the 26-year-old can return to form during the final month of spring training, he should be in a good position to break the Opening Day roster. If he earns a spot, he will likely be deployed as a long relief option, carrying little value in fantasy formats.
