Sawyer Gipson-Long Makes Rehab Start on Sunday
Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck) made a minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday and looked sharp, tossing 4 2/3 shutout innings without allowing a hit, walking one and striking out five against Triple-A Omaha. Gipson-Long threw 41 of his 59 pitches for strikes in the outing and was in control all the way. The 27-year-old was put on the 15-day injured list back on July 2 due to a neck strain, but he appears to be recovering nicely and could come off the IL to rejoin the big-league club for the start of the second half of the season on July 18. Gipson-Long had a nice 2.70 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in four starts in his rookie year in 2023 but didn't pitch at all in the big leagues in 2024. He allowed 13 runs (12 earned) with four walks and 18 K's in five outings (two starts) this year before his injury. Gipson-Long could be a rotation option for Detroit in the second half.
