Tigers Rookie Jackson Jobe Will Undergo Surgery, Miss Rest of 2025
- Jackson Jobe, a right-handed starter for the Detroit Tigers, will have Tommy John surgery and be sidelined for the rest of the 2025 MLB season, the team announced Wednesday.
- Jobe suffered a Grade 1 right flexor strain in his pitching elbow after his May 28 start and has been sidelined since late May, prompting the surgery decision.
- The 22-year-old right-hander made 10 starts this season with a 4.22 ERA, striking out 39 batters but showing only flashes of dominance despite his upside.
- Tommy John surgery involves reconstructing the ulnar collateral ligament with a typical 12 to 18 months recovery period, putting Jobe’s return between June and December 2026.
- Jobe’s injury leaves the Tigers, currently holding the MLB-best 44-24 record and an 8-game AL Central lead, likely to seek rotation depth beyond their rookie rotation spot-holder.
