DETROIT — Detroit Tigers rookie Jackson Jobe underwent Tommy John surgery on Monday in Arlington, Texas, performed by Dr. Keith Meister, the team announced.<\/p>\n
The recovery timeline for ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction — commonly known as Tommy John surgery — is typically 12 to 18 months, meaning Jobe will miss the remainder of the 2025 season and some or all of 2026.<\/p>\n
Jobe, 22, was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft and entered this season as the consensus top pitching prospect in baseball.<\/p>\n
Jobe only showed flashes of the dominance that the Tigers hope will be in his future, but he was consistently competitive through 10 starts this season. He posted a 4.22 ERA (5.15 FIP) with 27 walks and 39 strikeouts in 49 innings. The Tigers went 9-1 in games he started.<\/p>\n

Hinch said he spoke with Jobe in Detroit before the right-hander flew to Texas for surgery. After a period of recovery, Jobe is expected to return to Detroit to check in with the team\u2019s medical staff.<\/p>\n \u201cThe thing that\u2019s been really cool to see is Tarik (Skubal), Casey (Mize), and the guys who have been through this preparing him for what\u2019s ahead,\u201d Hinch said. \u201cThat type of mentorship is priceless. You don\u2019t want all your guys to go through that, but the fact that he has some guys to lean on, and their openness to share their experiences, is pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DETROIT — Detroit Tigers rookie Jackson Jobe underwent Tommy John surgery on Monday in Arlington, Texas, performed by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23905,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2386],"tags":[2514,5,147,53,2583,4,594],"class_list":{"0":"post-117412","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-tigers","8":"tag-2514","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-detroit","11":"tag-detroit-tigers","12":"tag-detroittigers","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-tigers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114714469293259004","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23905"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
