Jack Flaherty Receives Injection For His Back, Skipping Next Start
Jack Flaherty (back) received another injection in his back and will skip his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Instead, as long as he recovers well from the injection, the 28-year-old appears to be lined up to return to the rotation against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians. It's the second time in the last month that Flaherty has missed a start due to a back problem, which will give contending teams some pause if they consider trading for him at this summer's deadline. Otherwise, Flaherty has been fantastic in a bounce-back 2024 season in Detroit, going 5-5 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 115 strikeouts in 89 innings over his 15 starts. He came into Tuesday's action with the third-best strikeout rate in the big leagues.
