In a significant blow to the Detroit Tigers, closer Jason Foley has undergone season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. The 29-year-old, who recorded 28 saves last season, had faced struggles in spring training, which resulted in his reassignment to Triple-A Toledo after only six appearances this year. Manager A.J. Hinch expressed disappointment over Foley's injury but remains optimistic about his recovery. The Tigers are expecting returns from catcher Jake Rogers and outfielder Matt Vierling, who are currently on rehab assignments and could rejoin the team shortly.

The bullpen depth has taken a hit with Foley's absence as he was instrumental in the team's plans for the current season. Meanwhile, other players like Parker Meadows are also on the mend, showing signs of recovery from their respective injuries. The team's management is cautiously optimistic about reintegrating players back to their active roster to bolster their chances for the remainder of the season.
