Reese Olson Throws Four Innings in Rehab Start
Reese Olson (finger) had a successful rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday and could return to the majors in the coming days. Olson, out since mid-May with inflammation in his right ring finger, tossed four innings of two-run ball with three hits allowed and 5:1 K:BB over 74 pitches. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that Olson "checked out really, really well. He was happy with all of his pitches and the fact that he got through it unscathed in terms of health is a great step forward." Olson will rejoin the Tigers on Thursday and "throw a bullpen in the next day or two," Hinch added. The 25-year-old was a key cog in Detroit's rotation before the injury interrupted his season. Olson's 4-3 with a 2.96 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and 51:19 K:BB across 48 2/3 innings.
