Tigers Lose Olson for Season, Add Chris Paddack

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Reese Olson has been ruled out for the remainder of the regular season due to a right shoulder strain, with the possibility of a postseason return remaining open pending further tests. Olson, who has posted a 3.15 ERA and 65 strikeouts in 68.2 innings, was placed on the 60-day injured list after experiencing discomfort during a bullpen session. In response to Olson's injury, the Tigers traded for veteran right-hander Chris Paddack from the Minnesota Twins to fill the rotation gap. Outfielder Parker Meadows was also placed on the injured list with a quadriceps strain, prompting the recall of Andy Ibanez and Ryan Kreidler. The team's pitching staff faces significant challenges due to multiple injuries as Detroit aims for a playoff run. Olson's status for the postseason will depend on upcoming medical evaluations.
