    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.

    Jobe gave up four hits, walked two and struck out seven. He bounced back after allowing five runs in his last start, a loss to the Twins. Jobe was sharper and his seven strikeouts were the most he’s had in a start since returning from injury and tied his career-high that was set last year. He has a 4.45 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up six hits, walked two and struck out four. He fell to 1-2 in five starts with the loss. Jobe was victimized by two home runs, allowing a solo shot to Kody Clemens in the fourth inning and a three-run shot to Ryan Jeffers in the fifth inning. Jobe has only allowed four home runs in 23 1/3 innings, but more concerning is his 4.63 ERA and 19 strikeouts. He’s lined up to face the Guardians on the road on Saturday.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jobe gave up four hits, walked three and struck out four. The 24-year-old right-hander has had four starts since coming off the injured list and allowed one run or less in three of them. Jobe hasn’t completed more than five innings in any of his starts and was removed after 4 1/3 innings Tuesday. He has a 3.93 ERA. Jobe is lined up to face the Twins on the road next week.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    He outdueled Paul Skenes today, but the two-run lead he left with failed to hold up. Jobe finished up with three strikeouts and three walks, giving him an 11/5 K/BB in 14 innings since he came off the IL. His first start back was more exciting and encouraging that the last two, and he seems like a fringe mixed-league option in a lone start at home against the Rays next week.

    The 24-year-old hurler struck out four batters in the ballgame while issuing just one walk. He had only allowed one run through the first three innings, but the wheels fell off for him in the fourth inning. There, the White Sox struck for five runs as Tristan Peters slugged a two-run homer, Munetaka Murakami added a solo shot and Braden Montgomery smacked a two-run triple. Jobe got seven whiffs on 74 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 24 percent. He’ll try to put this rough outing behind him as he brings a 6.23 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and an 8/2 K/BB ratio into Wednesday’s battle against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

    Jobe gave up one hit, walked one and struck out four. You couldn’t have asked for a better outing in his first start since May of last year after recovering from Tommy John surgery. Jobe had never touched 100 mph before in the major leagues, but reached that mark on his first inning strikeout of Bryce Eldridge. In the second inning, he struck out Rafael Devers on three pitches, the last of which being a wipeout changeup. Jobe threw 71 pitches and will continue to be on a pitch count for at least his next few starts. That might hinder his ability to work deep into games right now, but Jobe certainly showed enough to be worth grabbing in mixed leagues. He’s lined up to face the White Sox next weekend.

    While he won’t make his highly anticipated 2026 debut until Saturday, Jobe rejoins the Tigers’ active roster on Friday evening. If the Tigers are going to make a serious push for a playoff berth in the American League, Jobe is going to have to play a major role in making up for the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize. Brenan Hanifee was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.

    Jobe will draw into Detroit’s new-look rotation following the departures of Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize at the trade deadline when they kick off a three-game series in San Francisco later this week. The hard-throwing 24-year-old was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball in the not-so-distant past and will be making his return to the majors after missing most of the last two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He’s struck out 17 batters over 15 1/3 innings during five minor league rehab outings. There are probably going to be some workload restrictions down the home stretch, but Jobe is the type of talent that fantasy managers should at the very least be monitoring closely.

    The 23-year-old right-hander struck out four batters on the day while issuing a pair of walks. He’ll meet up with the Tigers and throw his next bullpen session at Comerica Park before heading to Triple-A Toledo to make his next rehab start. It’s unclear if he’s going to work out of the rotation or the bullpen initially once he is ready to return, though how hard the Tigers push him will likely be determined by whether or not they fall out of the playoff race in the American League.

    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.

    Ian Happ (knee discomfort) is out of the lineup on Monday against the Brewers.

    Happ was scratched from Sunday’s lineup with “left knee discomfort” and will also miss Monday’s game. There has been no word from the Cubs on whether an IL stint might be in the cards. Tyrone Taylor will start in left field again on Monday.

    Tanner Houck (elbow) might need just three rehab appearances before rejoining the Red Sox bullpen.

    According to Tim Healey of the Boston Globe, the current plan is for Houck to throw about 20 pitches with Double-A Portland on Tuesday, then 40-45 with Portland on Friday. Then he’ll join Triple-A Worcester for a game next week and could be an option to return to Boston after that. Obviously, he could also be built up to around 50 pitches at that point, which means Houck could even fill a starter/opener role with Patrick Sandoval or Brayan Bello following behind him. It remains to be seen what role Houck will have, but getting him back will be a nice boost for the Red Sox pitching staff.

    Chase DeLauter (wrist) remains out of the lineup on Monday against the Orioles.

    DeLauter has now missed three straight games with a sprained right wrist. However, the Orioles are also throwing a left-handed pitcher on Monday, so there is a chance that they viewed this as an easy way to give DeLauter another day of rest. Guardians’ manager Stephen Vogt said that DeLauter is “feeling a lot better” and will hit some batting practice today and is take flyballs in right field. It sounds like he could be back in the middle of this week, but Angel Martinez will play right field and bat cleanup.

    Max Meyer (neck) has resumed his throwing program.

    Meyer landed on the injured list with a neck strain before the All-Star break and then also needed a cortisone shot in August. There are only three weeks left in the season, so there doesn’t seem to be enough time for Meyer to build up and return as a starter. It remains to be seen what the Marlins’ plan for him is, but it likely will be impacted by how he responds to his early throwing sessions.

    Moisés Ballesteros is starting at 1B on Monday against the Red Sox.

    Ballesteros has now started four of the last six games at either first base or designated hitter. The Angels are also carrying two other catchers on their roster, so it seems like they will limit how many starts Ballesteros makes behind the dish for the remainder of the season. That has meant Vaughn Grissom has played more third base and Oswald Peraza has shifted to the bench.

    Ha-Seong Kim is starting at shortstop and batting ninth on Monday against the Phillies.

    Kim has now started five of the last six games at shortstop, even mixing in against right-handers too. He is 4-for-12 with one run and one RBI over the previous four starts, but three of those hits came in one game against the Nationals. Mauricio Dubon has been playing in the outfield more often over that stretch.

    Brewers placed RHP Grant Anderson on the 15-day injured list with right biceps inflammation.

    Anderson was a key member of the Brewers’ bullpen this year with a 3.36 ERA in 59 innings across 52 appearances this season. It remains to be seen what his timeline is for a return.

    Brewers recalled RHP Brandon Sproat from Triple-A Nashville

    Sproat will return in a relief role, but with Brewers manager Pat Murphy also considering moving Kyle Harrison into the bullpen, there’s a chance Sproat and Harrison could form some sort of tandem. In Triple-A, it seems like the Brewers have significantly dialed back Sproat’s cutter usage, leaning into the four-seamer as his primary fastball and upping the usage of all his secondaries. We’ll see if the results improve at the big league level.

    Nick Sogard is not in the Red Sox’s starting lineup on Monday against the Angels.

    Over his last 20 games, Sogard is hitting .289/.372/.526 with four home runs, 14 runs scored, and 10 RBI. He has the second-best wRC+ on the Red Sox over that stretch, so this is just a day off. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start in his place at second base.

    Mets optioned RHP Justin Hagenman to Triple-A Syracuse

    With Jonah Tong coming up for a start, the Mets will opt to send down Hagenman, who was recalled last Wednesday to make a short three-inning start. He’ll need to remain in the minors for about two weeks before he can be an option for the Mets again.
