X-rays clean on knee X-rays turned up negative Thursday on Olson's left knee, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Olson limped off the field after getting struck by a comebacker in the second inning of his start Thursday afternoon against the Rangers. He told reporters after the game that he expects to take his next scheduled turn in the Tigers' rotation, but the 23-year-old right-hander will be closely evaluated over the next few days before any decisions are made. Detroit's pitching staff has been brutalized by injuries in recent weeks.

Impact It's good news for an initial diagnosis, although it's not clear at this poitn whether Olson is set to undergo any additional testing. The right-hander's next turn is tentatively scheduled for early next week at home versus the Athletics, but it's too soon to say whether he'll be ready to take the ball that day.

Another Tigers pitcher gets hurt when starter Reese Olson takes comebacker off knee

Another Detroit Tigers pitcher got hurt when starter Reese Olson took a comebacker off his left knee and exited in the second inning of Thursday’s game against the Texas Rangers

Exits after being hit by comebacker Olson was removed from Thursday's start against the Rangers in the second inning after being hit on the left leg by a comebacker, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Olson was struck by a 103.5 mph screamer off the bat of Josh Smith and immediately crumpled to the ground in pain. He eventually walked off the field under his own power following a lengthy chat with Tigers manager A.J. Hinch and the trainer. Olson was charged with one run on three hits and a walk before leaving.

Strikes out nine in win Olson (1-2) earned the win Saturday over the Twins. He allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out nine over 5.1 innings.

Impact The lone blemish on Olson's line was a Carlos Correa solo home run in the sixth inning. The win was Olson's first of the year, coming in his fifth major-league appearance. He's kept opponents to two runs or fewer in three of those outings. For the season, he has a 4.74 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB over 24.2 innings. Those strong strikeout and walk numbers bode well for future success. The rookie right-hander is projected for a challenging road start at Texas next week. With Matt Manning (foot) and Tarik Skubal (elbow) nearing returns withing the next couple of weeks, it's unclear if Olson has shown enough to stay in the major-league rotation into July.

Logs quality start Monday Olson allowed four runs (three earned) on six hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision Monday against the Royals. He walked one and struck out eight.

Impact This was Reese's first quality start at the MLB level in three tries and his longest outing during his brief tenure with the Tigers. The righty showed a promising uptick with the career-high eight strikeouts, as he came into the contest with 11 across 13.1 innings and just five total over his last two outings, which spanned 8.1 innings. Olson is still sitting with a subpar 5.59 ERA overall, though his Monday performance lends some optimism moving forward. He should stick in Detroit's rotation for now with several starters on the injured list.

Hit hard in Tuesday's loss Olson (0-2) took the loss in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta, coughing up seven runs (six earned) on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings as Detroit...

Impact The Tigers handed Olson a 4-0 lead after two innings against Atlanta ace Spencer Strider, but Olson quickly squandered it and got chased after 89 pitches (57 strikes). It was a sudden wake-up call for the rookie right-hander after he'd held the White Sox and Phillies in check in his first two big-league appearances, but his spot in the rotation is likely secure until some of Detroit's injured pitchers begin returning from the IL, with Alex Faedo (finger) and Tarik Skubal (elbow) at the head of the queue. Olson will take a 6.08 ERA and 11:4 K:BB through 13.1 innings into his next outing, which could come at home early next week against the Royals.

Start vs. Atlanta postponed Olson's scheduled start versus Atlanta on Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Olson was scheduled to square off against Spencer Strider, but the poor weather in Detroit won't allows that to happen Tuesday. The game will be made up Wednesday with the two teams playing a straight doubleheader, and it's likely both will be involved in one of the two contests.

JUNE 9, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Solid in no-decision Olson allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings in Thursday's 3-2 loss against the Phillies.

Impact Olson's certainly held his own through his first two big-league starts -- he's allowed three runs on five hits in 10 innings. The 23-year-old right-hander struggled to a 6.38 ERA in Triple-A this season, so there's some risk here. However, Olson should at least get an extended look in the majors while the Tigers deal with a myriad of injuries in their starting rotation. He'd line up for a tough home matchup with Atlanta in his next outing.

Will not start Thursday Olson will not start Thursday's game for the Tigers in Philadelphia, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Olson had been the scheduled starter for Wednesday's game which was postponed due to poor air quality conditions. He will now be pushed back at least until the weekend, with reliever Tyler Holton taking the ball Thursday.

Start postponed due to air quality Olson's start against the Phillies on Wednesday was postponed due to poor air quality.

Impact Olson was scheduled to square off against Zack Wheeler, but that outing will be bumped at least a day with Wednesday's game now scheduled for Thursday.

Receiving another start Olson will start Wednesday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.

Impact Though he ended up taking a loss last Friday in Chicago versus the White Sox, Olson held his own in his MLB debut, striking out six over five innings while allowing two earned runs on just two hits and one walk. With several starting pitching candidates still residing on the injured list, Olson should have a decent amount of leash in the Detroit rotation if he can remain serviceable in his future outings.

JUNE 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

No support in debut Olson (0-1) took the loss Friday versus the White Sox, allowing two runs on two hits and a walk while striking out six over five-plus innings.

Impact Olson traded zeroes with Mike Clevinger for five frames, but the White Sox were able to make some noise against him and reliever Will Vest in the sixth. Despite the end result, it was an encouraging big-league debut for Olson, though the White Sox are far from the toughest team in the league. If the right-hander gets another turn in the rotation, he lines up for a road start in Philadelphia next week.

Officially promoted for debut The Tigers recalled Olson from Triple-A Toledo on Friday ahead of his start against the White Sox.

Impact Olson will enter the Tigers' rotation in place of the injured Eduardo Rodriguez (finger). The 23-year-old righty doesn't have great stats in Triple-A this season, but he's been able to put it together as of late. Over his last three starts with Toledo, he's allowed two runs in 14.1 innings while maintaining a 22:6 K:BB ratio. Olson collects strikeouts at an impressive rate, but his inability to work deep into games limits his fantasy value.

Tigers turn to rookie RHP Reese Olson against White Sox Reese Olson will make his major league debut for the injury-ravaged Detroit Tigers on Friday

JUNE 1, 2023 • DEADSPIN.COM

Detroit Tigers promote prospect Reese Olson, will start Friday vs. White Sox for MLB debut Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson, acquired at the 2021 trade deadline, posted a 6.38 ERA through 10 starts in Triple-A Toledo.

MAY 31, 2023 • FREEP.COM

Getting call-up for Friday start The Tigers will call up Olson from Triple-A Toledo to start Friday's game against the White Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact As anticipated, Olson will be join the Tigers in Chicago for what will be his MLB debut as he steps into the rotation for the injured Eduardo Rodriguez (finger). The 23-year-old right-hander owns a poor 6.38 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 36.2 innings at Triple-A this season, but he's looked far sharper over his last six starts with Toledo. During that stretch, he's turned in a 3.00 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 32:15 K:BB across 27 innings. Given that Olson hasn't covered more than five innings in any start this season, he could struggle to work deep enough into his upcoming outings with the big club to qualify for wins.

MAY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to enter rotation Olson is the "leading candidate" to take Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) spot in the Tigers' rotation on Friday versus the White Sox, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Olson has struggled this season at Triple-A Toledo with a 6.38 ERA, but he has a 1.26 ERA and 22:6 K:BB over 14.3 frames covering his last three starts. He's also already on the 40-man roster. If Olson is indeed the choice to start Friday, the 23-year-old would be making his major-league debut.
