Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Makes case for playoff roster
Jackson Jobe walked one and struck out two in three scoreless innings of relief during Saturday's 4-0 loss to the White Sox.After clinching a wild-card spot Friday and then sitting through a 140-minute rain delay before Saturday's first pitch, the Detroit Tigers were fairly listless in this one, but Jobe gave them some life with an impressive long-relief effort that saw him fire 24 of 39 pitches for strikes. The fact that the organization's top pitching prospect was deployed Saturday rather than held back for the regular-season finale Sunday could be a sign Detroit plans on including Jobe on its postseason roster, but what role he might fill in that case isn't clear. Over his last seven minor-league starts between Double-A and Triple-A prior to his late-September promotion to the majors, Jobe posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB in 35 innings.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Vaults to Triple-A
The Detroit Tigers promoted Jackson Jobe from Double-A Erie to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday.Jobe will likely get two or three more starts under his belt at the Triple-A level this season with the hope of making enough of an impression down the stretch to merit consideration for a spot in Detroit's 2025 Opening Day rotation. Though he missed nearly six weeks in May and June due to a hamstring injury, the 2024 campaign has been a successful one thus far for Jobe, who turned in a sparkling 1.95 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 81:38 K:BB across 73.2 innings with Erie.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Walk rate up at Double-A
Jackson Jobe has walked nine batters and struck out eight while registering a 3.72 ERA and 1.97 WHIP in his last two starts for Double-A Erie.It's a surprising stretch for Jobe, as he'd walked 11 batters over his previous nine starts (36 innings). The Detroit Tigers could maintain Jobe's rookie eligibility for 2025 (to try for a prospect promotion incentive draft pick) by waiting until at least Aug. 16 to promote him while keeping him under 50 innings. However, given that he's still at Double-A and coming off two of his worst starts of the season, there's a chance he's not up at all this season.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Rolling since return to Double-A
Jackson Jobe (hamstring) has posted an 0.56 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB in 16 innings over three starts with Double-A Erie since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list July 5.Jobe missed just over two months of action at Double-A while recovering from a hamstring strain, but he's quickly returned to dominance upon rejoining the affiliate. He had perhaps his best outing yet Saturday against Birmingham, striking out five over six scoreless frames to lead off a combined no-hitter for Erie. From a performance standpoint, the 21-year-old right-hander certainly looks to be close to big-league ready, but with the Detroit Tigers sitting at 49-50 on the season and on the fringe of the AL wild-card race, it's uncertain if the organization will have much motivation to start his MLB service clock in 2024.

Tigers' Jackson Jobe: Completes side session
Jackson Jobe (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.The side session represents the first noteworthy step in Jobe's recovery from a left hamstring strain, which he suffered May 1 during his fifth start of the season for Double-A Erie. The Detroit Tigers' top pitching prospect had gotten off to a hot start to the campaign prior to suffering the injury, compiling a 2.16 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB in 16.2 innings. Jobe is without a clear timeline to rejoin the Erie rotation, but assuming he remains free of setbacks as he continues the ramp-up process, a return from the 7-day injured list around mid-June could be feasible.
