Jackson Jobe (elbow) starts rehab assignment

Jackson Jobe

DET Starting Pitcher #21

Player Stats

Jackson Jobe (elbow) will make a minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Low-A Lakeland.

There’s optimism Jobe will be an option for Detroit in some capacity during the second half of the season. His ultimate role will likely depend whether the Tigers are within shouting distance of the playoff race. The 23-year-old former top pitching prospect has been hitting triple digits in bullpen sessions and is at least a couple weeks away from making it back from last year’s Tommy John surgery. He’s a name for fantasy managers to watch closely coming out of the All-Star break.

Jackson Jobe

DET Starting Pitcher #21

Jackson Jobe (elbow) recorded four strikeouts over three shutout innings on Monday in a minor league rehab start in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.

Jobe allowed just two baserunners and threw 27 of 38 pitches for strikes in his second rehab outing as he continues to work his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery. The hard-throwing 23-year-old should factor into Detroit’s second-half pitching plans in some capacity, but his realistic fantasy impact will largely be determined by their place in the American League’s playoff picture.

Jackson Jobe (elbow) allowed one run over 1 1/3 innings on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start for Low-A Lakeland.

Jobe hit triple digits with a pair of fastballs, according to MLB.com’s Jason Beck. The 23-year-old former top prospect threw 24 of 32 pitches for strikes in his first rehab outing since last year’s Tommy John surgery. He’ll need a handful of additional starts to continue building up his pitch count and stamina before he’s an option for Detroit’s pitching staff. He figures to be ready to contribute at some point during the second half.

DET Starting Pitcher #21

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told reporters Jackson Jobe (elbow) hit 100 mph during a recent bullpen session.

The premium velocity doesn’t come as a surprise given Jobe’s previous status as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. The 23-year-old is working his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery and figures to be an option for Detroit’s rotation during the late stages of the second half. He could make enough noise down the home stretch to inflate his price in fantasy drafts next spring.

Jackson Jobe (elbow) threw another bullpen session earlier this week.

Jobe is continuing to work his way back from last year’s Tommy John surgery and appears on track to return to Detroit’s rotation later this season. It’s a bit unclear when the 23-year-old former top prospect will be cleared to make the next leap in his throwing progression, which is facing hitters in a live batting practice session.

Jackson Jobe (elbow) completed a bullpen session on Tuesday.

Jobe made it through his first bullpen session since undergoing Tommy John surgery last June. The 23-year-old former top pitching prospect is expected to return to Detroit’s rotation at some point in the second half.

Jackson Jobe (elbow) is expected to play catch at 120 feet three times this week.

This is the first real update we’ve had on Jobe’s status in a long time. The best case scenario to his recovery from Tommy John surgery last June was likely a late season return this year and Tigers’ president of baseball operations Scott Harris said the team was hoping he could be back in September at the Winter Meetings. Progressing to long-toss is the first step in that process and the electric young right-hander could find a small role during the Tigers hopeful playoff push.

Tigers placed RHP Jackson Jobe on the 60-day injured list following Tommy John surgery.

The 23-year-old Jobe, considered one of the game’s best prospect a year ago, underwent his surgery last June, and the Tigers are hoping to get him back for the stretch run this year.

DET Starting Pitcher #21

Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said at the Winter Meetings that they’re hopeful Jackson Jobe (elbow) will return by next September.

Jobe entered last spring as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball before struggling to a lackluster 4.22 ERA and 39/27 K/BB ratio across 49 innings over 10 starts before hitting the injured list with a flexor strain in late May and ultimately undergoing Tommy John surgery a few weeks later. The hard-throwing 23-year-old won’t be a real option for Detroit until at least 2027 given his recovery timetable, which limits his fantasy appeal to dynasty formats where he’s a borderline top-200 overall range stash candidate.

Jackson Jobe underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery on Monday.

Dr. Keith Meister performed the reconstructive surgery earlier this week. Jobe is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2026 campaign given the timing of the procedure, which typically carries a 12-14 month recovery timeline.

Tigers transferred RHP Jackson Jobe from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

Jobe is going to miss all of 2025 and a large portion of 2026 after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The move opens up a space on the 40-man roster to select Matt Gage from Triple-A Toledo.

Keegan Akin underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, the Orioles announced.

A really tough break for Akin, who will be a free agent for the first time at season’s end. He might be back down the stretch next year if his rehab goes well. The 31-year-old had a 5.68 ERA in 25 1/3 innings this season. He has a lifetime 4.55 ERA in 393 1/3 innings, all for the Orioles.

Brewers transferred LHP Rob Zastryzny to the 60-day injured list with a left trapezius strain.

This rules out Zastryzny through July 30. He still hasn’t pitched in a major league game this season; he missed the first two months with a shoulder strain, was activated May 31 and then was put back on the IL on June 3 without having made an appearance.

Diamondbacks placed OF Tommy Troy on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 12, with a sprained right AC joint.

Troy, who was hurt crashing into the wall in Saturday’s game, will exit the outfield mix for at least the first week back from the All-Star break, resulting in probably an additional start or two for Loudres Gurriel Jr. and Max Kepler.

HOU Outfield

Astros acquired OF Jadyn Fielder from the Brewers for RHP Lance McCullers and LHP Colton Gordon.

McCullers is making $17 million this year in the final year of a five-year deal, so this was mostly a salary dump to free up money for other trades. Fielder, who is the son of Prince Fielder, is hitting .233/.415/.398 in 45 games at Single-A with three home runs, 34 runs, 23 RBI, and 10 steals. He also doesn’t seem to have a real defensive position, so he’s a long shot to push for MLB at-bats in the future.

Brewers acquired LHP Colton Gordon and RHP Lance McCullers Jr. from Astros for OF prospect Jadyn Fielder.

Gordon has only thrown 9 1/3 innings for the Astros this season, but he’s posted a 3.69 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 55/14 K/BB ratio in 70 2/3 innings in Triple-A. Gordon, much like Shane Drohan and Chad Patrick, has experience both as a starter and a reliever, so he will provide some organizational depth and potential bulk innings for the Brewers down the stretch.

Brewers acquired RHP Lance McCullers Jr. and LHP Colton Gordon from the Astros for minor league OF Jadyn Fielder.

This move was reported a few hours ago and is now official. McCullers was up to 77 pitches in his last rehab start, so there’s a chance that he could join the Milwaukee rotation shortly.

The Pirates will start Jared Jones, Braxton Ashcraft, and Paul Skenes in the series against Cleveland this weekend.

That means the team will push Mitch Keller to next week. It makes sense to use Jones, who is clearly on a pitch count, in the first start after the break because it means the bullpen will be fresh.
