The Detroit Tigers have plenty of holes to fill after the deadline and are calling up two bullpen arms.
Hanifee made his Major League debut in 2023 with Detroit, pitching in three games in September. He threw five innings, mostly in mop up duty, while allowing three runs and striking out three batters. He was sent back to Triple-A for 2024 season where his numbers are better than they might look on the surface.
His good control is nothing new, as he walked just 3.0 batters per nine in 90.1 innings in 2023. However, his strikeouts are up from last season's mark of 8.3 per nine, suggesting his ceiling could continue to get higher.The 28-year-old hasn't pitched in the Majors since appearing in 14 games for thein 2019. With them, he threw 20.1 innings while striking out 15, walking 10 and posting a 9.30 ERA.
Guenther pitched across three levels in 2023, pitching in 39 games where he posted a 3.55 ERA while striking out 62 and only walking 12 in 50.2 innings. This allowed him to be assigned to Triple-A after a Spring Training invite in 2024, where he has been a work horse so far.
