Reese Olson Stats

Detroit Tigers righty Reese Olson is getting ready to make his next start, which will come Friday against Mike Clevinger and the Chicago White Sox. The results haven't been there for the 24-year-old, as he owns a 4.65 ERA and 1.21 WHIP but is striking out hitters at a decent 23.8% rate over 79 1/3 innings. Fantasy managers should leave Olson on the waiver wire in most formats, but he has the stuff to be a future contributor, making him an under-the-radar dynasty arm.

Detroit Tigers rookie right-hander Reese Olson will be plugged back into the starting rotation and make the start on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners. Olson has started five games in his first taste of the big leagues this year, but he had been working in a relief role just prior to the All-Star break this week. The 23-year-old hasn't been bad in his first 33 1/3 big-league innings, posting a 4.05 ERA (3.46 FIP), 0.99 WHIP, eight walks and 35 strikeouts in eight appearances. He hasn't been as sharp in his five starts, though, allowing 15 runs (13 earned) on 20 hits (four homers) while walking six and fanning 27 in 21 1/3 innings. The 23-year-old will have a solid matchup against Seattle in his return to a starting role this weekend, though, and he could stick around in the rotation for a bit longer if he handles himself well on Sunday.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Reese Olson (knee) underwent x-rays on his injured knee, and the results were negative. Olson took a comebacker off his leg with two outs in the second inning. He allowed a run on three hits while walking one and striking out two in just 1 2/3 innings before exiting. The 23-year-old is "optimistic" that he will be ready to go for his next start, which is lined up for Wednesday against the Athletics. "We'll see over the next couple of days what it's like," said Tigers manager A.J. Hinch. Olson is considered day-to-day for now.
