Right-hander Beau Brieske suffered a right ulnar nerve entrapment during spring training and has been cleared to throw again after experiencing a setback.

Right-hander Casey Mize has advanced from playing catch three times per week to four times per week, while right-hander Matt Manning continues to progress through his throwing program. Right-hander Freddy Pacheco, who suffered a right elbow sprain, threw his second bullpen session and could be a big addition to the Tigers' bullpen if he stays healthy.
