Tigers Place Reese Olson, Jackson Jobe on 60-Day IL; Olson to Miss 2026 After Shoulder Surgery

Detroit used the roster openings to bolster its rotation with veteran starters.

Overview

  • Team PR announced both moves on February 10, confirming Olson’s season-long absence and Jobe’s continued rehab timeline.
  • Olson underwent right shoulder labral repair on February 2 and is out for the entire 2026 season, with the procedure reported as performed by Dr. Keith Meister.
  • Jobe, recovering from 2025 Tommy John surgery, was transferred to the 60-day injured list as his rehab continues.
  • The IL placements opened two 40-man roster spots that Detroit used to finalize Framber Valdez’s deal and add Justin Verlander on a one-year contract.
  • Olson’s loss removes a 2025 mid-rotation contributor who posted a 3.15 ERA with 65 strikeouts over 68.2 innings in 13 starts.
