The Tigers have provided medical updates on several players, including Evan Madden, who is dealing with a rotator cuff strain that may keep him out for several weeks. Despite a shaky ERA in minor leagues, his solid strikeout rate indicates potential. Alongside him, catcher Brian Serven faces a left oblique strain, which complicates the team's already limited depth at the catching position. Manager A.J. Hinch is likely to rely on other players like Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty to fill the rotation, but Madden's absence will reduce options.
Madden's rotator cuff strain could sideline the pitcher for weeks, impacting the Tigers' pitching depth as they move closer to the 2025 season.
The Tigers' rotation will not hinge on Madden's status, with Skubal and Flaherty among the projected starters, although his absence limits depth options.
Serven's left oblique strain raises concerns for the Tigers' catching situation, as he was already a minor piece on a thin roster behind Rogers and Dingler.
Madden showed promise but had a mixed performance in the minors, suggesting potential despite his high ERA, with FIP indicating a more favorable outcome.
