Will Vest

NEW: 15-day IL with right lateral forearm inflammation. Last pitched April 26; tests revealed no structural damage but the soreness persisted. Ricky Vanasco selected from Triple-A; Curet DFA'd. Vest was the team's 2025 closer (23 saves) but lost the role to Jansen this offseason.

Kenley Jansen is on the IL, Kyle Finnegan's groin is questionable, and three different relievers have blown saves in consecutive days. Will Vest has been getting ninth-inning work but the situation is fully unrosterable in standard formats. The committee has no defined hierarchy.

Closer Monkey flagged Vest as the next-up audition arm if Finnegan is unavailable. Tigers' bullpen depth chart now reads Perkins / Harris / Leiter Jr. behind, but Vest is the saves dark horse. Deep-league speculative add.

Closer Monkey flagged Vest as auditioning for a larger role — Kyle Finnegan picked up his first save Friday and Jansen-the-non-Tigers-version closer (their Kenley Jansen) keeps the primary role, but Vest's stuff is the sharpest in the pen. Speculative add in deep/holds leagues.
