The Tigers transferred Faedo (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Faedo was placed on the 15-day injured list Aug. 25 with a strained right shoulder, and the injury is severe enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. He's been administered a PRP injection but is expected to have a normal offseason. In 57.1 innings with the Tigers this year, Faedo logged a 3.61 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Shut down with shoulder issue
Rotowire
The Tigers reinstated Faedo (personal) from the paternity list Sunday and placed him on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain.
Faedo is back with the Tigers after he spent the maximum three games away from the team to welcome a new addition to his family, but the right-hander had been apparently dealing with the injury prior to his recent leave of absence. His placement on the IL is retroactive to Thursday, so he'll be eligible for reinstatement as soon as Sept. 6. While operating out of the bullpen and serving as an occasional opener for the Tigers this season, Faedo has accrued a 3.61 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 57.1 innings.

Saturday will mark Faedo's fourth start of the season and his second of August.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Takes another loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Faedo (5-3) allowed two runs on two hits across 1.2 innings of relief to take the loss Tuesday against the Guardians. He struck out one.
Faedo followed opener Tyler Holton and didn't have much luck as he continued his recent struggles. After notching wins in five straight decisions between mid-April and July 20, Faedo has now taken the loss in consecutive appearances out of the bullpen. Over his last eight outings, the righty has allowed eight runs across 11.1 innings. Faedo has still been mostly solid this season with a 3.81 ERA and should be able to get back on track soon.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Takes loss as opener Sunday
Rotowire
Faedo (5-2) allowed a run on two hits across an inning of work to take the loss Sunday against the Twins. He struck out three.
Faedo served as Detroit's opener Sunday and was impressive missing bats, though he still sustained his first loss since April 4. The righty had gone 5-0 after that until Sunday's defeat. Despite the stumble, Faedo has been solid in his relief role for the Tigers all season, posting a 3.58 ERA and striking out 48 batters across 50.1 innings. He should continue to occupy a key spot in the bullpen moving forward.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Opening Sunday's contest
Rotowire
Faedo will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Twins, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Faedo will make his second start of the season Sunday, though he'll likely be limited to one or two innings before exiting the contest. It's unclear if the Tigers will have a bullpen game or utilize a bulk reliever, but Kenta Maeda would be the likeliest candidate to cover multiple innings should Detroit opt to go the latter route.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Earns fifth win Saturday
Rotowire
Faedo (5-1) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Saturday's 7-3 victory over the Blue Jays. He allowed one hit and struck out three.
Detroit starter Reese Olson was forced to exit after two innings due to right shoulder soreness, which brought Faedo into the contest. The righty pitched well and earned his fifth win out of the bullpen this season, which ties him with Shelby Miller for the team lead among relievers. The long relief role isn't the most fantasy friendly, though Faedo has pitched well this year, compiling a 3.35 ERA and 41 strikeouts across 45.2 innings overall.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Retires one batter to earn win
Rotowire
Faedo (4-1) walked a batter and retired one via strikeout to earn the win in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Dodgers.
Faedo needed 12 pitches to close out the top of the ninth inning, then scooped up the win when the Tigers scored twice in the bottom of the frame. The righty finished a solid first half of the season in which he posted a 3.50 ERA and 38 strikeouts across 43.2 innings of relief. Faedo will remain a bullpen option for the Tigers after the All-Star break, and he can give the team multiple innings when needed.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Starting bullpen game
Rotowire
Faedo will start Saturday's game against the Reds.
Faedo will throw the first pitch for Detroit, as the Tigers will rely on their bullpen to get them through Saturday's game in order to give their starters an extra day of rest. The 28-year-old righty served as a starter for two seasons before moving to the bullpen full-time in 2024, so he may be able to get through two or three innings before getting pulled.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Ready for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Faedo (hip) is scheduled to join Triple-A Toledo this week to begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

After being deployed mostly in middle relief or long relief earlier in the season, Faedo had moved his way into higher-leverage spots prior to landing on the IL. In his last 11 appearances before being deactivated, Faedo notched one win and six holds.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Slated for mound work
Rotowire

Faedo looks set to throw off a mound for the first time since he landed on the 15-day injured list last week with inflammation in his surgically-repaired right hip. He looks to be closing in on a rehab assignment and shouldn't need too many appearances before being activated since he hasn't missed extensive time.
