Reese Olson Returning To The Rotation Sunday
1 year agoDetroit 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.
