TheTigers placedOlson on the 60-day injured list Tuesday after he underwent a right shoulder labral repair Feb. 2 that will result in him missing the 2026 season.

It was feared that Olson would not be ready for Opening Day, but it turned out to be worse than that. Near the end of the 2025 season, there was a hope that he could return for the postseason after hitting the injured list in July, but that did not come to fruition either. Prior to the Tigers announcing Olson's surgery, they signed Framber Valdez on Feb. 4 and Justin Verlander earlier Tuesday. Troy Melton is also an option to find time in the rotation with both Olson and Jackson Jobe (elbow) out.

Olson (shoulder) may not be healthy in time for Opening Day, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Olson sustained a right shoulder strain in July and was placed on the 60-day injured list with hopes of returning for the postseason, but that never came to fruition. A report from the end of January indicated Olson would likely be ready in time for spring training, but theTigers got an update on Olson's status this week that put his availability for Opening Day in doubt. Olson has started 35 games over the last two seasons with Detroit. If he's not healthy to begin the 2026 season, Troy Melton would be the favorite to claim a rotation spot, with Keider Montero, Drew Anderson and Sawyer Gipson-Long also in the mix.

Olson missed the last two months of the 2025 regular season as well as Detroit's playoff run, but the righty started a throwing program in December and is trending in the right direction heading into 2026. Entering his fourth year in the majors, Olson has yet to surpass 112.1 innings, though he's also posted a sub-4.00 ERA each season, which gives a glimpse at what he's capable of when healthy. The 26-year-old figures to slot in behind Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize and Jack Flaherty in theTigers' rotation, and he could take a step forward in 2026 from a fantasy perspective if he's able to increase his workload.

Olson (shoulder) was scheduled to begin a throwing progression this week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Olson missed the final two month of the regular season and the playoffs with a right shoulder strain, but he is expected to be ready to go for the start of spring training. The right-hander has dealt with injury issues but has been effective when on the bump, boasting a career 3.60 ERA and 269:91 K:BB over 284.2 regular-season innings since 2023.

TheTigers would need to advance to the World Series in order forOlson (shoulder) to become an option to be added to their roster, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Olson has been sidelined since late July with a right shoulder strain but began a throwing progression in early September. It's unclear whether he's progressed to mound work, and given how long Olson's layoff has been, the right-hander seems like a long shot to pitch again in 2025.

Olson (shoulder) has been working on a throwing progression, though he's not yet ready for bullpen work and is likely still a ways off from returning, MLB.com reports.

Olson last appeared on the mound for Detroit back on July 24, and he's currently on the 60-day injured list as he recovers from a right shoulder strain. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection on Aug. 5, and there's a chance he can return if theTigers make the playoffs and happen to stick around for a bit, but the righty's regular season is over. Whether Olson pitches again in 2025 or not, he should be a part of Detroit's rotation next year, and he's pitched well for the team since making his MLB debut in 2023.

Olson has been given a platelet-rich plasma injection in his injured right shoulder, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Olson will not require surgery for his right shoulder strain, but he has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season. The hope is that the PRP injection will help speed along the healing process and give Olson a chance to return at some point during the postseason, should theTigers make a playoff run.

Olson will not require surgery to repair his injured right shoulder, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

The hurler is still awaiting final word on his latest medical evaluation before a path for his rehab is determined, but the good news is that surgery will not be necessary. Olson has already been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season, but he hopes to be available at some point in October if theTigers make a postseason run.
