Tigers Place Jackson Jobe on 15-Day Injured List With Flexor Strain
The Detroit Tigers have placed right-handed pitcher Jackson Jobe (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow flexor strain. Jobe was able to break camp with the major league roster but has had an inconsistent first taste of the big leagues. Through 49 innings (10 starts), the former top prospect has posted a 4.22 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP. He has struck out 39 batters and shown weak command of his pitches, allowing walks at a high 12.4% rate. Under the hood, Jobe has generated a 4.62 xERA and a high 43.3% hard-hit rate. Given his struggles, fantasy managers should only consider stashing him on an IR spot in deeper 12+ team formats. With Jobe sidelined, the Tigers will likely promote a pitcher from Triple-A. Sawyer Gipson Long (elbow) will likely be given an opportunity as he is nearing the completion of his rehab assignment.
