The Detroit Tigers have taken a hit as starting pitcher Jackson Jobe is out for the rest of the season due to a right elbow injury. This raises concerns about the team's pitching depth as they head into the latter half of the 2025 season. Jobe's absence leaves a noticeable gap in the rotation, exacerbated by the recent struggles of the team, highlighted by a tough loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

On a positive note, relief pitcher Alex Lange has begun a rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan, which could bolster the Tigers' bullpen this season. Lange previously demonstrated solid performance during his four years with the team, and his return might ease the pressure on the struggling pitching staff. Currently, Detroit ranks in the middle tier for ERA and home runs allowed, trying to maintain playoff contention with a resilient bullpen.
