Tigers' Chris Paddack Debuts Replacing Injured Reese Olson

The Detroit Tigers have acquired right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins and will have him make his team debut in the final game of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Paddack replaces Reese Olson in the rotation, who is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury. Despite a 3-9 record and a 4.95 ERA this season, Paddack showed promise in his most recent start against the Los Angeles Dodgers, holding them to one run over six innings. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch expressed confidence in Paddack's ability to contribute and emphasized the team's belief in his potential to help them win. Paddack brings veteran presence to a rotation impacted by injuries but has yet to consistently deliver quality starts throughout the season. He will face Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson, who has recently posted strong performances.
