The Detroit Tigers have solidified their status as a top contender in the American League Central, showcasing impressive depth and talent despite facing significant injuries this season. Among the notable absentees is Jason Foley, the team's 2024 closer who marked the previous season with 28 saves, ranking ninth in the league. Unfortunately, Foley's season came to an early end after undergoing shoulder surgery in April.

The Tigers recently provided an encouraging update on Foley's recovery process. He is diligently working on his rehab daily, suggesting a commitment to return to his previous form. Manager AJ Hinch expressed confidence in Foley's competitive spirit and determination to bounce back, as the reliever previously established himself as a dependable asset for the Tigers with a solid career ERA of 3.16 and 70 saves over his first four seasons.
