Tigers Injury Updates: Flaherty, Hurter, and Meadows

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch shared updates on several injured players, including Jack Flaherty, who has been sidelined for a month due to flexor inflammation. Flaherty may resume throwing in a bullpen session this weekend, with a potential return to the lineup by mid-September if his recovery progresses well.

Flaherty has recorded a 4.59 ERA over 19 starts this season, showing a marked improvement in his performance prior to his injury. Meanwhile, Brant Hurter's minor league rehab assignment has been paused due to lumbar spine inflammation, and he has struggled with a high ERA during his recovery. Hurter's return timeline remains uncertain.

Parker Meadows, who has been on the 60-day injured list since April due to a concussion and a fractured radius, is making progress in his workouts but is still unable to swing at full speed. With the regular season nearing its end, the Tigers are monitoring his situation closely, though a return this season seems increasingly unlikely.
