Tigers prized rookie Jackson Jobe to have season-ending Tommy John surgery
Detroit Tigers pitcher Jackson Jobe will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, the club announced Wednesday.
Dr. Keith Meister, team physician and orthopedic consultant for the Texas Rangers, will perform the operation, which had not been scheduled yet.
"It's obviously really disappointing news," Tigers general manager Jeff Greenberg said. "Really feel for Jackson. Obviously everybody sees the talent, and he made a really positive impression to this team in his short time here. He's going to work through this. He's a very determined individual."
Jobe went 4-1 with a 4.22 ERA in 10 starts after making Detroit's opening-day roster. The 22-year-old rookie was placed on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 right flexor strain following his May 28 outing.
"As is standard process in our medical evaluation process, we sought additional evaluations," Greenberg said. "Through that evaluation process, a UCL injury was also discovered. From there, there were a series of conversations between Jackson, the doctors and the medical staff, and ultimately, surgery was determined as the path."
Selected third overall in the 2021 amateur draft, Jobe was the Tigers' third-ranked prospect in 2024, according to MLB.com.
The right-hander made two relief appearances for Detroit late last season, then two more in the American League playoffs.
Detroit holds the best record in the AL at 44-25 following Wednesday night's 10-1 loss at Baltimore.

Rams sign veteran OT amidst Alaric Jackson's health concerns
The Los Angeles Rams signed veteran OT DJ Humphries yesterday. Humphries was a first round selection by the Arizona Cardinals in 2025 and played for the Kansas City Chiefs last season. At first glance the Humphries signing seemed to be a depth-shoring move. That perspective seemed to shift on Friday with reports that blood clotting issues have resurfaced with starting left tackle Alaric Jackson—who signed a three-year, $57M deal with the Rams this offseason. Advertisement Jackson's bout with blood clots first surfaced during his sophomore season in 2022. He played in eight games with six starts before sitting out the remainder of the year. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, 'the belief is he'll play in 2025' and 'there are still questions'. While the starters along the offensive line seem stout for Los Angeles, Rob Havenstein and Jackson at tackles introduce layers of uncertainty with their injury history. The Rams will need to do all they can to keep Matthew Stafford upright during the final stage of his career, and missing a tackle out of the starting lineup could potentially derail their Super Bowl aspirations.

Aaron Civale gets Brewers trade wish granted — but ends up with MLB doormat
Aaron Civale should've been careful what he wished for. The right-handed pitcher was granted his request of getting traded from the Brewers — with one brutal caveat. He's headed to the horrendous White Sox. The Post's Jon Heyman reported the trade Friday morning, and according to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Brewers are acquiring first baseman Andrew Vaughan in exchange for Civale and cash. Civale, 30, requested a trade from Milwaukee after getting informed he'd been demoted from the rotation to the bullpen with the arrival of prospect Jacob Misiorowski. The Brewers are trading pitcher Aaron Civale to the White Sox. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'I just very respectfully said that Aaron would really like an opportunity to continue his career as a starter,' Civale's agent, Jack Toffey, told The Athletic of his message to the Brewers' front office. 'He's going to be a free agent at the end of the year.' Civale should have no issues breaking into the White Sox rotation, which is one of the worst in baseball as it stands. Chicago, the worst team in the American League with a 23-46 record, has a team ERA of 4.19, the eighth-worst mark in MLB. The White Sox have the worst record in the American League at 23-46. Getty Images Ironically, Civale's ERA this season is even worse – 4.91 – in five starts with the Brewers this season. The Northeastern product does have a solid track record in his seven-year MLB career, including some strong seasons as a member of the Guardians rotation. In his rookie year with Cleveland in 2019, Civale notched a career-best 2.34 ERA in 10 starts, which he matched in 13 starts with the Guardians in 2023 before he was traded to the Rays midseason. Civale is on a one-year, $8 million contract before he becomes a free agent at the end of the season. He most recently started in Milwaukee's 7-1 loss to the Braves on Monday, allowing two runs and five hits in 4 ½ innings.

2025 MLB odds: Bettors backing Detroit Tigers to win AL Pennant
With their 44-25 record, the Detroit Tigers are currently one of the best teams in Major League Baseball, sitting atop the standings in the AL Central. And with all the success Detroit has had so far this season, bettors have taken note. At BetMGM, the Tigers' odds to win the World Series opened at +4000. So a $10 bet on Opening Day would have pocketed $410 total if the Tigers end up winning the Fall Classic. They're now all the way down to +800, where a $10 bet would only win $90 total. But there's more. In World Series futures at BetMGM, the Tigers have the third-highest ticket at 8.2%, behind the Dodgers (14.1%) and the Phillies (9.3%). In the AL Central, they're the heavy favorites at -600, but also have the highest ticket (32.7%) and the highest handle (39.5%). When it comes to the team with the shortest odds to win the AL pennant, that's the Yankees at +200. But it's the Tigers with the highest ticket (24%), the highest handle (23.6%) and the team that is BetMGM's biggest liability. Let's take a closer look at Detroit's odds at BetMGM as of June 12. Tigers to have most regular-season wins: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total) World Series: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total) To win AL: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total) To win AL Central: -550 (bet $10 to win $11.82 total) AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal: -220 (bet $10 to win $14.55 total) AL MVP winner Tarik Skubal: +10000 (bet $10 to win $1,010 total) So are the Tigers really worth backing, after barely sneaking into the 2024 postseason with an 86-76 record? FOX Sports MLB writer Rowan Kavner is "starting to believe," and that's largely because of Spencer Torkelson. "[He] looks primed for a career year for a team that desperately needed more infield pop from somewhere," Kavner wrote. "I don't think this is a top-five team, but I do think this is a top-10 team and the best club in the AL Central." FOX Sports' Deesha Thosar echoed a similar sentiment. "The Tigers look like the real deal, especially because they're the only team in the AL Central with a positive run differential," she noted. "Detroit's only legitimate threat to win the division is Cleveland, and even then, the way the Tigers are playing right now, I'm expecting them to enjoy another trip to the postseason. "The Tigers have a top-10 offense in baseball in terms of wRC+, and if they can sustain that level of dominance on both sides of the ball, then they might just have a deeper playoff run in their bones."
