After two years of shoulder trouble, and seven months removed from his last start, it was clear that if Reese Olson was still having issues, it was probalby time for surgical intervention. The right-hander went on the injured list back in mid-July, so he\u2019d had almost seven months of rest and rehab to try to avoid a procedure that would probably have cost him all of 2026 whenever he had it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Detroit Tigers have announced that the right-hander underwent right labral repair surgery on his right shoulder on February 2, and will miss the 2026 season. He and Jackson Jobe, whose recovery from 2025 Tommy John surgery will keep him out until at least the second half of the season, have both been moved to the 60-day injured list. Those moves open 40-man roster spots for Framber Valdez, whose deal is now official, and Justin Verlander, who agreed to a one-year deal with the Tigers earlier today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s a tough blow to Olson, whose early promise in 2024 has been derailed for two seasons. Hopefully, he can finally get this all resolved and return fully healthy and ready to go in 2027. For now, Scott Harris and the Tigers have added ample reinforcements to make up for his absence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alright, this we did see coming.
