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.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Opening Tuesday's game
Rotowire
Faedo will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher during Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Faedo is expected to handle one or two innings before turning the game over to bulk reliever Bryan Sammons. Though Faedo has allowed just one run in 3.2 innings during August, he's walked eight batters in that span. He has a 3.72 ERA over 55.2 innings on the season.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Opening again Thursday
Rotowire
Faedo will work as the Tigers' opening pitcher Thursday against the Mariners, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Faedo has proven to be effective while serving as an opener, throwing 2.2 scoreless innings across his last two opening assignments. Once he exits the game, Kenta Maeda is expected to take over as the Tigers' bulk reliever.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Drawing opener assignment Sunday
Rotowire
Faedo will serve as the Tigers' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Royals.
Faedo will be making his third start of the season, but he's pitched just two and one innings in those outings and will likely be in store for a similar workload Sunday. Once Faedo exits the contest, left-hander Brant Hurter is expected to take over and serve as Detroit's bulk reliever in what will be his MLB debut.

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: Third rehab outing coming
Rotowire
Faedo (hip) is scheduled to make his third rehab appearance for Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
After tossing a scoreless inning in his first minor-league appearance, Faedo surrendered four hits, two walks and a run across 1.1 innings Saturday. He's been on the injured list since June 5 but is expected to rejoin the major-league roster soon. In fact, Tuesday's outing could be his last at Toledo.

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.
Faedo has been on the injured list for just under two weeks with right hip inflammation, so he'll likely need just one or two rehab appearances before he's cleared to rejoin the Detroit bullpen. 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: Ineffective again Thursday
Rotowire
Faedo allowed three runs on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.
After starting the season with a 2.25 ERA across his first 14 appearances, Faedo has allowed runs in his last three outings, and he has a 9.00 ERA during that stretch. The righty was a middling starter the last two years, and while he's looked a little better out of the bullpen, he may be regressing closer to his career 4.67 ERA. Faedo doesn't have a ton of fantasy value in his current middle-relief role, particularly given his recent struggles.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Logs two scoreless innings Monday
Rotowire
Faedo pitched two scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 5-0, 10-inning win over the Mets. He allowed a hit and a walk, while striking out three.
Detroit needed some bullpen length to get the contest to extra innings and Faedo delivered. The righty has now logged 3.2 scoreless innings across two appearances this year, and it looks like he'll be asked to serve in a long-relief role moving forward. While Faedo may provide the Tigers a boost in this capacity, his fantasy value figures to be more up and down, as he'll have an unpredictable path to the occasional win or hold.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Will make Opening Day roster
Rotowire
Faedo will make the Tigers' Opening Day roster in a bullpen role, Julie Kreuz of MLB.com reports.
Faedo pitched well this spring, compiling a 1.35 ERA across 13.1 innings, and it was enough to secure his first Opening Day roster spot in the majors. The one-time first-round pick hasn't found his footing as an MLB starter yet, though he could emerge as an effective reliever if his stuff plays up. However, Faedo likely won't see enough high-leverage work initially to warrant fantasy attention.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Shut down for season
Rotowire
Faedo will miss the rest of the season after undergoing a procedure Wednesday to repair his right middle fingernail, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Faedo underwent a procedure to remove a portion of the same fingernail earlier this season. He landed on the injured list last Tuesday due to a blister on his finger and had a slim chance of returning for the final game of the year, but he will now shift his focus to getting ready for the start of next season. Faedo finishes 2023 with a 4.45 ERA and 1.05 WHIP alongside a 58:20 K:BB through 64.2 innings.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Lands on IL
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Faedo on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right finger blister.
Faedo's move to the injured list is retroactive to Sunday, which leaves just enough room for him to return for the final game of the season Oct. 1. In the meantime, Brendan White will come up from Triple-A Toledo to fill Faedo's roster spot.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Shines in pair of relief outings
Rotowire
Faedo has worked out of the Detroit bullpen in his last two appearances Sept. 9 against the White Sox and Wednesday against the Reds, covering five scoreless innings while striking out six and allowing just one hit and two walks.
Faedo has made just one of his four appearances in September as a starter, though the Tigers aren't yet dropping the right-hander from the rotation. Though he excelled in long relief of Tarik Skubal and Eduardo Rodriguez his last two times out, Faedo will likely end up serving as more of a bulk reliever Tuesday against the Dodgers. Miguel Diaz is slated to open the game and pitch an inning or two, and since he'll be available on five days' rest, Faedo looks like the most logical choice to serve as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Doesn't last long in start
Rotowire
Faedo allowed one run on three hits across 2.2 innings and didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Yankees. He walked one and struck out four.
Faedo was actually fairly effective after allowing a leadoff home run to DJ LeMahieu, but the righty was limited to 40 pitches in his first start in nine days. The Tigers had said Faedo was slated for a multi-inning relief role down the stretch, but he's apparently still in the mix for some spot starts, with his next one potentially set for Sunday against the White Sox. Due to his middling performance so far and lack of a definitive rotation role, the 27-year-old can probably be avoided in most fantasy formats for now.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Slated for multi-inning relief role
Rotowire
Faedo will be used in a multi-inning relief role with the Tigers for the time being, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
It's possible Faedo will get a start or two in September if the situation dictates it, but for now the Tigers will see how he fares in a multi-inning bullpen role. He and Joey Wentz could piggyback for some outings in the coming weeks. Faedo holds a 4.98 ERA over 11 starts for Detroit this season.

Tigers' Alex Faedo: Goes 4.2 innings in return
Rotowire
Faedo did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Twins. He struck out five.
All the damage against Faedo came in the third inning on homers by Carlos Correa and Joey Gallo. The 27-year-old right-hander was solid otherwise, though he'd depart in the fifth inning after throwing 85 pitches. Overall, Faedo is 2-4 this season with a 5.80 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across eight starts (40.1 innings). He figures to stay in the rotation following Michael Lorenzen's trade to Philadelphia. Faedo's next start is tentatively lined up as a rematch with the Twins on the road.
