Tigers' Reese Olson: Settles for another no-decision
Rotowire
Olson allowed two runs on six hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's loss to the Rays. He walked two and struck out one.
Olson was making his second start since returning from the injured list after he missed about six weeks due to a finger injury. The righty covered 4.1 innings in his return Friday and managed to last a little longer Wednesday, though he settled for his second straight no-decision. Olson tossed 84 pitches in Wednesday's outing and looked fairly sharp, so it appears that he's shaking off the rust and rounding back into form. The 25-year-old will carry a strong 2.95 ERA into the All-Star break, and he's currently lined up to face the Rangers on the road in Detroit's first game of the second half July 18.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Earns no-decision in return
Rotowire
Olson settled for a no-decision after throwing 4.1 innings, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three during Friday's 2-1 win over the Guardians.
In his first big-league start since hitting the injured list with a finger injury, Olson slogged through just over four innings of work, not making it through the requisite five required to be credited for a win in the game. The only damage came courtesy of a Jose Ramirez solo home run, just the third long ball the 25-year-old has allowed this season in 53 innings. It might take some time for Olson, who has a solid 2.89 ERA on the season, to fully get back into a rhythm, and he is scheduled to make what will likely be his last start before the All-Star break at home against the Rays on Wednesday.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Activated ahead of Friday's start
Rotowire
Olson (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list prior to his start Friday against the Guardians.
Olson hasn't pitched in the big leagues since May 17, but he made three rehab starts, building up to four innings in his most recent outing June 25 at Triple-A. He has a 2.96 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51:19 K:BB in 48.2 innings through nine big-league starts this season.
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Olson's (finger) next start will be in the majors, and the right-hander could be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch Friday in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Olson has been shelved since mid-May due to right ring finger inflammation but is ready to rejoin the Tigers rotation after making three rehab starts. He went four innings and threw 74 pitches in his most recent outing for Triple-A Toledo last Wednesday, so Olson will have a somewhat limited pitch count this weekend. The righty has been superb in nine starts for Detroit this season, collecting a 2.96 ERA and 51:19 K:BB over 48.2 innings.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Appears set to return from IL
Rotowire
Olson (finger) struck out five and allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk across four innings Wednesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Toledo.
Olson spotted 49 of his 74 pitches for strikes and sported a fastball that sat between 92 and 94 miles per hour on the day, about a tick behind his average velocity prior to landing on the injured list May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation. Though the 25-year-old didn't reach five innings in any of his three rehab outings with Toledo, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that all reports on Olson were positive coming out of his start Wednesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Olson is likely to return to Detroit this weekend to complete a bullpen session, and if he continues to check out fine, he could be activated from the IL to make his next start with the big club Tuesday or Wednesday in Washington.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Needs one more rehab start
Rotowire
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Olson (finger) is expected to require one more rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Detroit optioned No. 5 starter Keider Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, but that apparently won't be a precursor to Olson being activated during the upcoming week. Instead, Olson will most likely make his third rehab start for Toledo this Tuesday or Wednesday, and if he checks out fine, he'll presumably be activated from the IL during the first week of July. Olson, who has been on the shelf since May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation, most recently tossed 3.2 scoreless innings and 58 pitches for Toledo on Thursday, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out five.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Starting rehab assignment
Rotowire
Olson (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Olson has been sidelined since May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation, but he's made enough progress with his throwing program to test himself in a game setting. General manager Jeff Greenberg said Sunday that he's "cautiously optimistic" that Olson will return from the injured list "sooner rather than later," though he may require multiple appearances at Triple-A before being cleared to join the big-league rotation.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Completes side session
Rotowire
Olson (finger) threw a bullpen session Saturday without issue, MLB.com reports.
Olson didn't throw his changeup during the session, as his inflamed right ring finger is still preventing him from using his full arsenal in workouts. That said, general manager Jeff Greenberg noted Sunday that he's "cautiously optimistic" that Olson will return from the injured list "sooner rather than later." Olson could be ready to mix in his changeup during his next throwing session, and if that goes well, he could advance to facing hitters in live batting practice.

Rotowire
Olson received an injection to address the inflammation in his right ring finger Monday and is expected to resume playing catch Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
The right-hander landed on the shelf with the injury May 19, and the inflammation apparently returned after he was briefly shut down from throwing. Olson is without an official timeline for his return but will likely be out for at least a couple more weeks as he ramps his throwing program back up.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Set for another side session
Rotowire
Olson (finger) was scheduled to throw another bullpen session Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Olson has now thrown a pair of bullpen sessions within the past four days as he continues to ramp back up after being placed on the injured list May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation. Though the right-hander doesn't look to be in line for an extended stay on the IL, he'll still need to face hitters in live batting practice and potentially complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Bullpen session on tap
Rotowire
Olson (finger) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
He threw off flat ground for the first time Thursday and will advance his rehab Wednesday with a bullpen session. Olson has been out since May 17 with right ring finger inflammation.
Olson (finger) threw on flat ground Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Thursday marks the first time Olson has done any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list Monday due to inflammation in his right ring finger. The right-hander is confident he won't need to spend much more than the 15-day minimum on the IL, though he'll need to start throwing off a mound soon for that to be a realistic possibility.
Tigers' Reese Olson: Goes on IL with finger injury
Rotowire
The Tigers placed Olson on the 15-day injured list Monday with right ring finger inflammation, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
It's not clear when or how Olson was injured, but he showed no signs of being hurt his last time out Saturday against the Blue Jays, tossing six scoreless innings. The timing is poor, as the right-hander has logged a 1.60 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB through 33.2 innings over his last six starts. Olson will be eligible for activation June 2, but it's uncertain whether he'll be ready on that date.

Tigers' Reese Olson: Strong start wasted Saturday
Rotowire
Olson came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blue Jays, scattering one hit and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out six.
The right-hander faced only one batter above the minimum and didn't let a Toronto runner get past first base in his third quality start of the season, but Olson saw his fifth win of the year slip away when the Detroit bullpen fell apart late. He's blanked the opposition in four of his last six trips to the mound, posting a 1.60 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB through 33.2 innings over that stretch. Olson will look to keep rolling in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Guardians.
Olson (4-3) took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk with five strikeouts over four innings.
Olson surrendered a two-run homer in the second inning, and then yielded another run in the third. It was the 25-year-old's shortest outing of the season, as he generated only eight whiffs on 83 pitches and dealt with frequent traffic on the basepaths. He'll carry a 3.38 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB across 42.2 innings into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.
