Jobe’s Batting Practice Milestone

Jackson Jobe, the Tigers’ prized 23-year-old pitcher and third overall pick in 2021, is taking a major step forward in his Tommy John recovery—throwing batting practice at Comerica Park. The hybrid reconstruction he underwent last June signals he’s entering the critical 12-18 month recovery window, and this session is a strong indicator he’s on track for a return. With his MLB debut cut short last year and a solid pre-injury season behind him, the Tigers are taking a cautious, patient approach. Like Jordan Montgomery, Jobe likely needs several rehab starts before returning to the majors, and with his importance to the team’s future, they’ll likely give him extra time—especially if playoff contention isn’t on the horizon. This is a pivotal moment for a player whose career could reshape the Tigers’ pitching future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
