Tigers Adjust Rotation with Drew Anderson and Jackson Jobe

The Detroit Tigers are making changes to their pitching rotation by promoting Drew Anderson to a starting role and activating Jackson Jobe for their upcoming series in San Francisco. These adjustments come as replacements for injured pitchers Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize.

Drew Anderson, who has been a long reliever, will start against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. He has a 4.24 ERA over 63 2/3 innings this season and is looking to secure a $10 million club option for next year. Jackson Jobe, a former top prospect, is returning to the majors after undergoing Tommy John surgery 14 months ago. He has shown promising performance during his rehab, averaging nearly 99 mph on his fastball.

The Tigers are also monitoring the return of River Ryan, another pitching prospect, who is expected back from injury by the end of August. Despite recent trades, the Tigers remain competitive in the AL Central and Wild Card races, with a crucial series against Seattle and upcoming matchups against top teams in their division.
