Tigers place rookie Jackson Jobe on 15-day IL with elbow injury

Detroit Tigers rookie starting pitcher Jackson Jobe was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain, the team announced Friday. The move was retroactive to Thursday.
Jobe mentioned some discomfort in his right throwing elbow after Wednesday’s start against the San Francisco Giants. He threw 95 pitches in 4 2/3 innings — allowing three runs on seven hits — before being removed.
“He reported that he had a little bit of soreness,” Detroit manager AJ Hinch said on Friday. “So we took him immediately to get evaluated. When the test came back and the doctors read it, they discovered this flexor strain.
“I try not to rush to any judgment until we see how his rest goes and see how his rehab goes. We’ll listen to the doctors and the pitching coaches on that.”
The 22-year-old Jobe, the third overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, entered the 2025 season as one of the top prospects in baseball. Through 10 starts, he is 4-1 with a 4.22 ERA, 39 strikeouts and 27 walks in 49 innings.
Right-handed reliever Dylan Smith was called up from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move. To make room for Smith on the 40-man roster, Alex Cobb was transferred to the 60-day DL.
Jobe joins three other Tigers starting pitchers on the IL: Cobb (hip inflammation), Reese Olson (finger inflammation), and Sawyer Gipson-Long (elbow surgery).
