Jackson Jobe is anticipated to rejoin the Detroit Tigers' starting rotation during their upcoming road series against the San Francisco Giants. The 23-year-old has been rehabilitating from a hybrid Tommy John procedure undergone in June 2025. His recent rehab outings have shown promise, including a performance in which he struck out five over four innings while reaching 99 mph. With trades involving Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize affecting the rotation, Jobe's return is considered timely as the Tigers look to stabilize their pitching staff.
