Jack Flaherty Receives Injection
6 months agoDetroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty (back) received an injection on Monday, and his turn in the starting rotation is being skipped. However, he's expected to return for the series against the Houston Astros this weekend. It's unclear exactly what day Flaherty will return to the mound this weekend after being pulled from his most recent start last Tuesday due to back tightness. The 28-year-old still threw five scoreless inning in that outing and has had a career resurgence in Detroit in 2024. Flaherty thought he could start on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals, but the Tigers are playing it safe with the veteran right-hander. He's been money for fantasy managers this year, but Flaherty will be a bit more risky this weekend in a tough matchup against Houston. He's currently 3-4 on the year with a 3.22 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with 94 strikeouts in 72 2/3 innings over his 12 starts.
