Jack Flaherty Receives Injection For His Back, Skipping Next Start
5 months agoDetroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty (back) received another injection in his back and will skip his next scheduled start on Wednesday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins. Instead, as long as he recovers well from the injection, the 28-year-old appears to be lined up to return to the rotation against the division-rival Cleveland Guardians. It's the second time in the last month that Flaherty has missed a start due to a back problem, which will give contending teams some pause if they consider trading for him at this summer's deadline. Otherwise, Flaherty has been fantastic in a bounce-back 2024 season in Detroit, going 5-5 with a 3.24 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 115 strikeouts in 89 innings over his 15 starts. He came into Tuesday's action with the third-best strikeout rate in the big leagues.
