Flaherty Out, Madden In for Tigers | Detroit Tigers News

Jack Flaherty’s season hit a snag as the Tigers’ ace landed on the 15-day IL with right flexor inflammation—just days after tossing four innings in a win over the Cubs. With a 3-8 record and 4.59 ERA, Flaherty’s absence opens the door for 26-year-old Ty Madden, called up from Triple-A, who’s posted a stellar 3.15 ERA in seven outings. Manager A.J. Hinch raves about Madden’s poise and his nasty slider-splitter combo, while veteran Justin Verlander, set to retire after this season, is back in the mix—arm moving well, but still being evaluated before any return plans. The Tigers’ bullpen is clearly under pressure, forcing quick adjustments as they navigate the season’s unpredictable pitching landscape.
