Jobe (1-0) earned the win over San Francisco on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out four batters over five scoreless innings.
Jobe's first big-league outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2025 couldn't have gone much better, as he didn't allow his first hit until there was one out in the fourth inning. The right-hander was understandably limited to 71 pitches, but that was enough for him to complete five frames and pick up the victory. Jobe sat in the high-90s with his fastball and topped out at 100.1 mph, so his velocity doesn't seem to have diminished coming off the surgery. With Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize traded at the deadline and Jack Flaherty (forearm) still on the IL, Jobe's spot in the Tigers' rotation should be secure. His next start is slated to come at home against the White Sox.
