Jobe’s Return Test Against White Sox | Detroit News

The Detroit Tigers just clinched a huge series win over the Cleveland Guardians, jumping into second in the AL Central and now just one game below .500. Their next big test? A three-game showdown against first-place Chicago. This Friday, all eyes turn to Jackson Jobe—fresh off Tommy John surgery—as he makes his second start since returning. His last outing was promising: five innings, one hit, four strikeouts. But this time, he faces a tougher lineup. With a 100 mph fastball, Jobe’s real challenge is mastering his secondary pitches—especially avoiding middle-middle fastballs that led to seven homers last season. If he can command his changeup and slider and push past 70 pitches like last time, he could help the Tigers finally reach .500 for the first time in months.
