Flaherty Out, Madden In for Tigers | Detroit Tigers News

Jack Flaherty’s season hit a major snag as the Tigers placed the 35M star on the 15-day IL with right flexor inflammation — a nagging issue that surfaced after just four innings against the Cubs. Despite a solid 2025 contract and a 3-8 record with a 4.59 ERA, the decision to sit him came after careful evaluation and a projected 5-6 day recovery. In his absence, the Tigers called up Ty Madden — a righty with an 8-game MLB stint and a 3.09 ERA — to bolster a bullpen already stretched thin, with position players pitching in when needed. Meanwhile, veteran Justin Verlander looms as a potential final act, rehabbing from hip and hamstring woes while preparing for retirement after this season.
