Reese Olson of the Detroit Tigers was placed on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his right ring finger. This left the team adjusting its pitching rotation with a nine-man bullpen temporarily. The injury surprised many, especially after Olson's impressive performance on Saturday. He's having a stellar season with his 2.96 ERA and contributions to the team's strong standing in the league. The Tigers sit at 31-16, boasting MLBâs best record, with several key pitchers also out due to injuries.
âOlson's injury comes as a surprise. He looked sharp as ever during Saturday's start, firing six scoreless innings in an eventual 2-1 loss.â
âOlson has somewhat quietly emerged as one of the better young pitchers in the sport, owning a 3.60 ERA over parts of three seasons and out to a career-best start.â
