Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson posted a 3.15 ERA with 25 walks and 65 strikeouts across 68⅔ innings in 13 starts during the 2025 season.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season with a right shoulder strain that he experienced during his latest bullpen session.
The Tigers are leaving the door open for Olson to return in the postseason.
"We have some more tests scheduled for tomorrow before we can fully announce everything that happened," Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Monday, July 28, "but the MRI revealed enough to rule him out for the regular season."
Olson, 25, had a 3.15 ERA with 25 walks and 65 strikeouts across 68⅔ innings in 13 starts in the 2025 season. When healthy, Olson worked the Tigers' No. 2 starter behind Tarik Skubal.
He previously missed nearly three months in 2024 with a right shoulder strain. He also missed two months in 2025 with right ring finger inflammation.
On Monday, the Tigers traded for starting pitcher Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins, who will now help fill one of the vacant spots in the Tigers' rotation.
