ALEX FAEDO NEWS

Optioned to Toledo Faedo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following his start against the Blue Jays on Friday.

Impact Faedo wasn't going to pitch again before the break after struggling through 3.2 innings on Friday, so the Tigers didn't need to keep him on the roster. He might not get the chance to reclaim his rotation spot at the start of the second half, however, as his 6.98 ERA through six starts trails Reese Olson's 4.02 ERA by a significant margin. Olson has seemingly secured the Tigers' fifth starter spot, with Faedo stuck waiting for an injury to open up another chance.

Struggles in return Faedo (1-4) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

Impact Faedo was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and made his first start at the big-league level since May 30, but it didn't go well. He allowed a season-high seven runs and couldn't complete the fourth inning, which ballooned his ERA to 6.98 through six appearances (29.2 innings). While Faedo's ERA is ugly, his 1.08 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB are solid, so he may be able to turn things around moving forward. The right-hander isn't scheduled to pitch again until after the All-Star break.

Tigers activate outfielder Alex Faedo and pitcher Akil Baddoo ahead of series versus Blue Jays

The Detroit Tigers have activated outfielder Akil Baddoo and pitcher Alex Faedo from the injured list ahead of their series against the Toronto Blue Jays

JULY 7, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reinstated from IL Faedo (finger) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Impact Faedo will be back in Detroit's pitching rotation for the first time since suffering a right middle fingernail injury in late May. The right-hander has made five starts in 2023, posting a 5.54 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 26 strikeouts over 26 innings. If he can control the long ball, six of which he's given up this year, positive regression should be in store for Faedo's ERA moving forward.

Rejoining rotation Friday Faedo (finger) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Blue Jays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

Impact Faedo has been sidelined since late May following a procedure to remove his right middle fingernail but is ready to roll after one rehab start. He didn't pitch well in that rehab outing, yielding four runs on six hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He also threw only 57 pitches and that, combined with his lengthy absence, likely means a truncated workload Friday.

Making rehab start Sunday Faedo (finger) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Sunday will be Faedo's first rehab start since landing on the injured list June 3 with finger problems. He was originally scheduled to pitch Tuesday with High-A West Michigan, but the game was cancelled due to poor air quality in the area, and Faedo threw a three-inning sim game instead. If the Tigers still want to keep Faedo in the minors for multiple rehab starts, his return would almost certainly come after the All-Star break.

Set for rehab assignment Faedo (finger) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A West Michigan, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Faedo has been on the injured list since late May following a procedure to remove his right middle fingernail, so this seems likely to be a multi-outing rehab stint. He had posted an uneven 5.54 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB in 26 innings (five starts) for Detroit prior to the IL stint.

Resumes throwing program Faedo (finger) resumed a throwing program Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact A week ago Faedo underwent a procedure to remove a fingernail on the middle digit of his right hand. He did some plyometric exercises and light tossing Monday before progressing to playing catch Tuesday. The right-hander will continue to ramp things up and might need a short rehab assignment before rejoining the Tigers' rotation.

Performs light-tossing work Faedo (finger) took part in plyometric exercises and light tossing Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Faedo relayed that he's feeling pain-free again after recently undergoing a procedure to remove a fingernail on the middle digit of his right hand, and he should continue to gradually start ramping up over the next week or so. Considering that Faedo has been on the injured list for just over a week, he likely won't require more than one or two rehab starts or simulated games before the Tigers feel comfortable activating him. However, with Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Matt Manning (foot) both in the midst of rehab assignments and tracking toward similar timeline to return to the big club, it's unclear if Detroit will have room for Faedo in the rotation once he's reinstated.

Undergoes minor procedure Faedo had a procedure Tuesday which involved a portion of his right middle fingernail being removed, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Faedo had visited a finger specialist, who recommended and performed the minor operation. The right-hander is receiving treatment and will resume a throwing program as symptoms allow. Faedo is eligible to return from the injured list next week, but a timetable for his return is unclear at the moment.

Visiting with specialist Faedo will consult with a finger specialist in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Both Faedo and Eduardo Rodriguez visiting the specialist as they recover from their respective finger injuries. In Faedo's case, he landed on the injured list over the weekend with discomfort around his right middle fingernail. There's no timetable for his return.

Impact Faedo reported some tenderness in his right middle fingernail following his last turn in the Tigers' rotation Tuesday versus the Rangers. It doesn't sound like an overly serious injury, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next 11 days or so.

Battling fingernail tenderness Faedo reported tenderness in his right middle fingernail after his start Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Faedo has been getting treated daily for his finger and it is unknown whether or not he will be able to make his next scheduled start Monday against Philadelphia. His injury could help explain his struggles Tuesday, as he allowed six runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 frames.

Falls to Texas Faedo (1-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings in a 10-6 loss against the Rangers. He struck out four.

Impact It was a tough outing for Faedo after he punched out 10 over six innings in his previous outing against the White Sox. His ERA is now up to 5.54 despite a solid 0.92 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB across his first five starts (26 innings). It won't get much easier for Faedo in his next outing -- he's tentatively lined up to face the Phillies on the road.

Strikes out 10 in first win Faedo (1-2) allowed two runs on three hits across six innings to earn the win Thursday against the White Sox. He struck out 10.

Impact Faedo's first win of the season was a surprising performance, as he came into the game with 12 total strikeouts this year in three previous starts. The righty entered the rotation in early May following the demotion of Spencer Turnbull (neck), and he's done pretty well with a 4.15 ERA and 0.74 WHIP across 21.2 innings. Faedo figures to stick as the team's No. 5 starter and take the hill again early next week against the Rangers.
