Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Alex Faedo (hip) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Thursday. The right-hander will make his return after missing the last three weeks due to right hip inflammation. Before going down, Faedo was a solid contributor in the Tigers bullpen. He holds a 3.38 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and 29/13 K/BB ratio across 21 appearances. The expectation is that Faedo will return to his role as a long relief option out of the pen.
Alex Faedo To Make Another Rehab Appearance On Saturday
Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo (hip) is scheduled to make his second minor-league rehab appearance on Saturday for Triple-A Toledo. In his first rehab outing on Wednesday, Faedo was able to throw a scoreless inning. If the 28-year-old doesn't encounter any setbacks on Saturday, he could come off the injured list after that and rejoin Detroit's bullpen. Faedo was originally the 18th overall pick in 2017 out of Florida and came up threw the team's minor-league system as a starter before being moved to a full-time relief role this year. In 21 appearances out of the bullpen for the Tigers before his injury, Faedo had gone 3-1 with six holds, a 3.38 ERA, a 1.18 WHIP and 29:13 K:BB in 34 2/3 innings. At best, Faedo is an option in the deepest of holds leagues when he's healthy.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo made the team's Opening Day roster for the first time in his career. In addition, left-hander Joey Wentz made the team out of spring training. In large part due to injuries, the 28-year-old Faedo has had an uneven two seasons in the big leagues with Detroit. He's dealt with blister and nail issues, a back strain, hip pain and had Tommy John surgery. But the former first-rounder in 2017 out of Florida was healthy in the offseason and had a 1.35 spring training ERA. Faedo is expected to work in a long-relief role, which won't give him any real fantasy value, but if he can stay healthy, he could be an important piece for Detroit's pitching staff in 2024. In his 27 big-league outings (24 starts), Faedo has a 4.94 ERA and 1.32 WHIP with 45 walks and 102 K's in 118 1/3 frames.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo will be moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen for now as a multi-inning reliever, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Faedo might have some "scheduled" relief outings of two to three innings and could also piggyback with left-hander Joey Wentz. It's still possible that Faedo makes a start or two in the final month of the regular season in September. The 27-year-old former first-round pick in 2017 out of Florida hasn't lived up to expectations and has gone 2-5 this year with a 4.98 ERA (5.10 FIP), 1.09 WHIP, 17 walks and 47 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched over his 11 starts for Detroit in his second big-league season. Faedo obviously will be losing what little fantasy value he had left in 2023.
Detroit Tigers pitcher Alex Faedo was on his game Tuesday night in Minnesota where he tossed five scoreless innings while allowing just one hit, one walk, and one hit-by-pitch against six strikeouts on the night. However, despite the excellent effort, Faedo was left with a no-decision as a five-run sixth inning propelled the Twins to a 5-3 victory in Tuesday's series opener. The results largely haven't been there for the former first-round pick this season but Faedo continues to see some positive regression kick in. He has now allowed just three earned runs over his last three starts spanning 15 2/3 innings while Tuesday marked his second scoreless outing in that time. The right-hander's 4.19 SIERA and 6.1% BB% suggest he's been much better than his 5.16 ERA might suggest.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Faedo has been recalled to take the mound against the San Diego Padres on Sunday. It doesn't sound like the Tigers plan to move anyone out of their rotation. This move is probably just to give the rest of starters an extra day to rest. Faedo holds a 6.98 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, with 28/4 K/BB ratio through six starts with Detroit this season. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option for Sunday's slate.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo (finger) will return from the 15-day injured list to start on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Faedo will finally rejoin Detroit's starting rotation for the first time since late May after having surgery to remove his right middle fingernail. The 27-year-old gave up four runs on six hits in just 3 1/3 innings in his lone minor-league rehab start, so he probably isn't a candidate to go deep into his start on Friday against a tough opponent. Before going on the injured list, Faedo was 1-3 for the Tigers with a 5.54 ERA (4.52 FIP), 0.92 WHIP, two walks and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings over five starts. He should remain in the Tigers' rotation to begin the second half of the season, but fantasy managers should be looking to avoid him as a streamer on Friday.
Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Faedo (finger) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with High-A West Michigan on Tuesday. Faedo had surgery to remove his right middle fingernail in late May and has been on the injured list ever since. He will most likely require a handful of rehab starts before the Tigers consider returning the 27-year-old to their starting rotation. Before having surgery, Faedo had a 5.54 ERA (4.50 FIP), but he also was sporting a solid 0.92 WHIP with only two walks and 26 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched. He should return to a role in the team's rotation when he's healthy enough. Along with Faedo, the Tigers are getting Matt Manning (foot) back on Tuesday and will also soon have Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) and Tarik Skubal (elbow) back in their rotation.
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Alex Faedo (finger) was able to throw a bullpen session on Friday. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since the end of May due fingernail issue that is causing blisters. He's back on track now, so hopefully he doesn't suffer any setbacks and feels good after this bullpen session. The hope is that Faedo can return by early July. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.
Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Alex Faedo (finger) has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 31, with right middle finger discomfort. The 27-year-old hurler has been dealing with the issue since his last start and there was a thought that he could maybe make his next turn in the rotation but that's not happening now. Faedo owns a 1-3 record, 5.54 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 26:2 K/BN ratio over 26 innings (five starts) so far this season. The Tigers have yet to announce a corresponding move but they will need to add another starting pitcher.
