    Tigers' Reese Olson: Won't be option until World Series

    The Detroit Tigers would need to advance to the World Series in order for Reese Olson (shoulder) to become an option to be added to their roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.Olson has been sidelined since late July with a right shoulder strain but began a throwing progression in early September. It's unclear whether he's progressed to mound work, and given how long Olson's layoff has been, the right-hander seems like a long shot to pitch again in 2025.

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Not throwing bullpens yet

    Reese Olson (shoulder) has been working on a throwing progression, though he's not yet ready for bullpen work and is likely still a ways off from returning, MLB.com reports.Olson last appeared on the mound for Detroit back on July 24, and he's currently on the 60-day injured list as he recovers from a right shoulder strain. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Aug. 5, and there's a chance he can return if the Detroit Tigers make the playoffs and happen to stick around for a bit, but the righty's regular season is over. Whether Olson pitches again in 2025 or not, he should be a part of Detroit's rotation next year, and he's pitched well for the team since making his MLB debut in 2023.

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Out for rest of regular season

    Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Monday that Reese Olson has been placed on the 60-day injured list and will miss the rest of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.According to Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press, the Tigers are still leaving the door open for Olson to return for the postseason, though even if he's back in action by October, the right-hander could be limited to a relief role. Olson wasn't known to be dealing with an injury, but the shoulder strain helps explain why he was uncharacteristically lacking in command during his most recent start Thursday, when he was handed a loss against the Blue Jays after allowing five earned runs on six hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks in 5.2 innings. The Tigers acquired right-hander Chris Paddack from the Twins on Monday, and he'll end up taking over Olson's spot in the rotation.

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Falters in defeat

    Reese Olson (4-4) took the loss after throwing 5.2 innings, allowing five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four, during Thursday's 11-4 loss to the Blue Jays.The normally reliable Olson faltered Thursday against the surging Blue Jays, allowing a season-high five runs in 5.2 innings of work. In particular, the home runs are what hurt the 25-year-old, as he surrendered two long balls this start after giving up only three entering the game all season. The right-hander's streak of nine straight starts allowing three runs or fewer is over, and he's scheduled to have a chance to restart that streak at home against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Settles for another no-decision

He walked two and struck out one.Olson was making his second start since returning from the injured list after he missed about six weeks due to a finger injury. The righty covered 4.1 innings in his return Friday and managed to last a little longer Wednesday, though he settled for his second straight no-decision. Olson tossed 84 pitches in Wednesday's outing and looked fairly sharp, so it appears that he's shaking off the rust and rounding back into form. The 25-year-old will carry a strong 2.95 ERA into the All-Star break, and he's currently lined up to face the Rangers on the road in Detroit's first game of the second half July 18.

    Tigers' Reese Olson: Earns no-decision in return

    Reese Olson settled for a no-decision after throwing 4.1 innings, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three during Friday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.In his first big-league start since hitting the injured list with a finger injury, Olson slogged through just over four innings of work, not making it through the requisite five required to be credited for a win in the game. The only damage came courtesy of a Jose Ramirez solo home run, just the third long ball the 25-year-old has allowed this season in 53 innings. It might take some time for Olson, who has a solid 2.89 ERA on the season, to fully get back into a rhythm, and he is scheduled to make what will likely be his last start before the All-Star break at home against the Rays on Wednesday.
