Tigers' Zach Swanson: On mend from Tommy John surgery
Rotowire
The Tigers' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate placed Swanson on its full-season injured list March 19 while he recovers from Tommy John surgery, Sam Dykstra of MLB.com reports.
A prep righty out of Washington, Swanson received an over-slot $722,500 bonus after being selected in the ninth round of the 2024 First-Year Player Draft. His innings will need to be monitored anyway next season, so the Tigers will likely give him plenty of time to recover before he makes his professional debut sometime next summer.
