Tigers Lose Olson to Injury in 2-1 Defeat

Detroit Tigers pitcher Reese Olson delivered six scoreless innings against the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing just one hit and striking out six, but exited after 85 pitches due to right ring finger irritation. Following the game, Olson was placed on the 15-day injured list for finger inflammation, prompting the Tigers to recall Chase Lee from Triple-A and adjust their rotation, including a bullpen game against the Cardinals and postponing Jack Flaherty's next start. Despite holding a 1-0 lead, the Tigers' bullpen allowed Toronto to tie the game in the eighth and win 2-1 on a walk-off single in the ninth, ending Detroit's four-game winning streak. Spencer Torkelson provided Detroit's only run with a solo homer, while the Blue Jays used a bullpen strategy and timely hitting for the comeback victory. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch noted the loss of Olson is challenging, but reinforcements may arrive soon as Casey Mize nears a return from injury. The Tigers remain competitive overall but continue to struggle in late-game relief situations.
