Jobe Returns as Tigers Rotation Stabilizes | Detroit Tigers News

Jackson Jobe is back in the Detroit Tigers’ rotation after a 14-month absence, bringing high expectations and a blazing fastball to stabilize a pitching staff shaken by injuries and trades. Manager A.J. Hinch sees him as a key piece for the next few weeks, while the rotation still faces uncertainty with Jack Flaherty’s extended recovery and the looming possibility of Justin Verlander’s return. The current lineup includes Troy Melton, Keider Montero, Framber Valdez, Jobe, and Drew Anderson — whose pitch count is being carefully monitored as he builds toward deeper innings. Jobe’s comeback, following Tommy John surgery, is a major milestone for the 2021 first-round pick, who’s been diligently rehabbing and never forgotten by the team. Meanwhile, reliever Brant Hurter begins his rehab with a shaky but promising outing at Low-A Lakeland, aiming to reclaim his spot in a bullpen that missed his 2.84 ERA before his injury.
