Ty Madden Fantasy Stats

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Ty Madden (shoulder) is said to be completing a return-to-play throwing progression, however, the right-hander is not expected to return to the mound this season, even inclusive of any potential minor league rehab assignment, per manager A.J. Hinch. The 25-year-old strained his throwing shoulder in the spring and is now expected to miss the entire season. The 6-foot-3 hurler debuted with the Tigers in 2024, pitching to a 4.30 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and an 8.9 percent K-BB% in six appearances (one start, 23 innings pitched). He was unable to replicate the strikeout stuff he maintained in the minors, owning a career 28.2 percent strikeout rate below the big leagues. The Tigers are looking for him to have a "productive offseason," so it sounds like he is in the team's plans for 2026, although it is unclear whether it will be as a starter or a reliever.

Detroit Tigers right-handers Sawyer Gipson-Long (hip, elbow) and Ty Madden (shoulder) are both scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Wednesday, according to MLive's Evan Woodbery. Gipson-Long is recovering from a left-hip labral repair and right-UCL reconstruction, while Madden is on the injured list due to a right-shoulder strain. Gipson-Long is currently on the 60-day injured list and isn't expected to be an option for the Tigers at the major-league level until around the All-Star break. Madden, who is also on the 60-day IL, is recovering after straining his right rotator cuff in spring training but will not be eligible to make his 2025 season debut until late May. The Tigers might build Madden up as a starter as he continues along in his rehab and eventually goes on a minor-league rehab assignment, but there's no guarantee he'll have a rotation spot waiting for him when he's fully healthy.

Detroit Tigers right-handers Sawyer Gipson-Long (hip, elbow) and Ty Madden (shoulder) are both scheduled to throw bullpen sessions on Saturday. Gipson-Long is recovering from a left-hip labral repair and right-UCL reconstruction, while Madden is rehabbing from a right-shoulder strain. Meanwhile, right-hander Jose Urquidy (elbow) is playing catch out to 105 feet three times a week as he recovers from right-UCL reconstruction. Gipson-Long is on the 60-day injured list after having Tommy John surgery last April and hip surgery last July. Barring a setback, the 27-year-old won't be an option for the Tigers until around the All-Star break in mid-July. Madden, 25, suffered a right rotator-cuff strain in spring training and won't be able to return until at least the end of May while on the 60-day IL.

Detroit Tigers pitcher Ty Madden showed off his swing-and-miss stuff during Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The rookie right-hander came in after opener Beau Brieske threw a scoreless inning. Madden looked sharp as he struck out seven batters while allowing only one run over five innings of work. The Tigers might not push Madden too hard in September, but he's expected to be a big part of their future. He holds a 2.57 ERA and 10/4 K/BB ratio over three appearances this season. He probably won't be worth adding in fantasy leagues this season, but is someone worth keeping an eye on heading into 2025.

Detroit Tigers pitching prospect Ty Madden is being called up to the big league club to start Monday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Madden, a 2021 first-round pick, is Detroit's No. 16 prospect according to MLB Pipeline. The 24-year-old has had a tough go in Triple-A this year, pitching to a 7.97 ERA and 1.77 WHIP over 79 IP. He does have 102 strikeouts, but it comes with 40 walks and 17 homers against, both untenable numbers. Although he has the softest landing spot imaginable in a matchup against the White Sox, he should be left on the waiver wire until he proves he belongs in the majors.

Detroit Tigers starting pitching prospect Ty Madden posted two straight quality starts at Triple-A and is beginning to put his early-season struggles behind him. Madden was promoted to Triple-A on April 29 after spending all of the last season and early part of this one at Double-A. Through his first 31 innings with Triple-A Toledo, the Texas product posted a hefty 10.16 ERA, 2.23 WHIP, and 25:37 BB:K ratio. However, in his last two outings, he held a 2.25 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a 4:14 BBK ratio. This is a big step in the right direction for the number five ranked prospect in the Detroit system. If he continues to carry this momentum through July, he could push for a major league debut in August.
