  • DET Starting Pitcher #35

    Alex Cobb is dealing with hip inflammation.
    Cobb has been shut down from throwing after receiving a PRP injection last week to address the issue. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Tuesday it’s pushed him back about a month, which suggests he’ll open up the regular season on the injured list. While it’s not ideal that Cobb is already on the shelf, the Tigers weren’t in any way expecting to get 30 starts out of him and they have plenty of rotation options. This definitely increases the chances of Jackson Jobe starting off in the majors, but it’s still far from a lock, with two rotation spots available for Jackson Jobe, Casey Mize, Kenta Maeda, Brant Hurter, Keider Montero, Matt Manning and others.
  • DET Relief Pitcher #21
    Jackson Jobe has added a curveball and sinker.
    Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press adds that Jobe’s pitch mix evolution is geared towards generating additional whiffs in two-strike counts. The hard-throwing 22-year-old right-hander, who made a pair of late-season relief appearances last year for the Tigers, is arguably the top pitching prospect in baseball entering spring training and will presumably be in the mix for the final spot in Detroit’s season-opening rotation. He’s likely ticketed for some additional seasoning at Triple-A Toledo to open the year, especially if Casey Mize and Alex Cobb stay healthy this spring, but Jobe’s astronomical strikeout potential should make him an instant impact fantasy contributor once he ascends to the big leagues for good.

    Tigers signed RHP Jack Flaherty to a two-year, $35 million contract.
    It’ll probably be a one-year, $25 million deal unless something goes awry. The player option for 2026 starts at $10 million and jumps to $20 million once Flaherty makes 15 starts. Flaherty opened last year with the Tigers, going 7-5 with a 2.95 ERA in 18 stats before being traded to the Dodgers. He was 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 28 starts overall. Flaherty’s return means that, barring injury, there’s going to be just one spot in the Tigers rotation available for Jackson Jobe, Casey Mize, Kenta Maeda, Brant Hurter, Matt Manning and Keider Montero. Maeda and Hurter will likely have bullpen spots awaiting them, but some of the others figure to open in the minors.

  • DET Relief Pitcher #21
    Jackson Jobe was charged with two runs — one earned — after being brought on to pitch the seventh with a one-run lead
    The box score might suggest that Jobe melted down in his first postseason appearance after just two regular-season outings as a major leaguer. It wasn’t like that, though. Jobe’s first pitch hit Victor Caratini, but that was really his only mistake. That was followed by a soft single, an attempted sac bunt that went for a single, a grounder to first on which Spencer Torkelson bounced the throw home (resulting in no outs) and a 197-foot popup that turned into a sac fly. Jobe was pulled at that point, and Sean Guenther produced a double-play ball to end the inning. The Tigers will feel pretty good about using Jobe again in the ALDS.

    Tigers designated RHP Shelby Miller for assignment.
    Detroit needed a spot on the 40-man roster for top prospect Jackson Jobe, who is being called up to fill a bullpen role down the stretch. That meant the end of the road for Miller, who posted a 4.53 ERA and 49 strikeouts in 55 2/3 innings for the Tigers this year. However, the 33-year-old is one year removed from a 1.17 ERA and 42 strikeouts in 42 innings for the Dodgers, so some team may take a chance on him on waivers.

    Tigers promoted RHP Jackson Jobe from Triple-A Toledo.
    Now, before we get overly excited, the team has said that Jobe will just be joining the bullpen. With the Triple-A season over, the Tigers will use the 22-year-old to help them try and lock down an AL Wild Card spot. Jobe is the top pitching prospect in baseball, posting a 2.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 96 strikeouts in 91 2/3 innings across three levels this season. The right-hander possesses a mid-90s fastball with elite vertical break and pairs that with a sweeping slider that is his best pitch and a true elite offering. The cutter he added last year and improved changeup give him a four-pitch arsenal, and it will be exciting to see what he can do in shorter stints in the big leagues this season. However, he remains off fantasy radars in redraft leagues since he will just be a middle reliever.

    Jackson Jobe gave up four runs and eight hits in four innings in his Triple-A debut on Saturday.
    Pitching on eight days’ rest, Jobe settled for three strikeouts and gave up 10 hard-hit balls. He hadn’t surrendered more than five hits in any of his previous 19 starts in high-A and Double-A this year.

    Tigers promoted RHP prospect Jackson Jobe to Triple-A Toledo.
    It’s official. Jobe arrives on the doorstep of the majors after recording eight strikeouts and allowing one run over seven innings on Thursday in his final outing for Double-A Erie. The hard-throwing 22-year-old righty, who was selected third overall in the 2021 MLB Draft, is universally-regarded as one of the top handful of pitching prospects in the game and offers massive strikeout potential. He’s going to make an instant impact for fantasy managers once he arrives. He’ll remain in Triple-A Toledo for now, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him making noise for Detroit in the near future, possibly even down the home stretch.

    Tigers RHP prospect Jackson Jobe struck out eight and allowed one run over seven innings on Thursday for Double-A Erie.
    Jobe showed exactly why he’s arguably the top pitching prospect in baseball heading into 2025 as he pitched into the seventh inning for the first time in his professional career, retiring 18 in a row to close out his most dominant outing of the year. The hard-throwing 22-year-old righty boasts a sublime 1.95 ERA across 16 starts this season for Double-A Erie. It shouldn’t be long before he’s making some serious noise in Detroit.

    Tigers RHP prospect Jackson Jobe fired 1 2/3 scoreless innings on Friday for Double-A Erie.
    There was some concern when Jobe was lifted after throwing 47 pitches (33 strikes) over two frames, but his early exit was merely for workload reasons, not injury. He struck out three, allowed three hits, and only handed out one free pass. The hard-throwing 22-year-old righty could probably give Detroit a boost at the highest level right now as they attempt to make a playoff push, but Detroit is clearly prioritizing his long-term future over any immediate spark. He’s universally-regarded as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball heading towards 2025 and boasts an impressive 2.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 73/36 K/BB ratio across 66 2/3 innings (15 starts) this season at Double-A Erie.
