Tigers' Ty Madden: Ready for bullpen session
Madden (forearm) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Though the Tigers deactivated Madden on Sunday due to a forearm injury, he's merely dealing with a bruise rather than a muscle strain or ligament damage and should be in line for a relatively short stint on the 15-day injured list. Assuming he makes it through Wednesday's throwing session no worse for the wear, Madden could be cleared to resume facing hitters this weekend or early next week.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Headed for IL
The Tigers placed Madden on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a bruised right forearm.
Madden was injured during his appearance in a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays on Friday, when he was struck by a comebacker. Subsequent X-rays were negative, but the right-hander is nonetheless going to need to take some time off. Right-hander Will Vest (forearm) was activated from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding roster move, though it's unclear which pitcher will take Madden's spot in the rotation.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Following opener again
Madden will serve as the Tigers' primary pitcher out of the bullpen Friday versus the Blue Jays, with Brenan Hanifee being deployed as an opener in front of him, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Madden was initially listed as a traditional starting pitcher, but the Tigers have decided to use him in a bulk-relief role again after it worked well the last two times. The righty has permitted three runs with a 12:2 K:BB over 11 innings in his first two appearances for Detroit this season.

Tigers' Ty Madden: X-rays negative
X-rays on Madden's right forearm came back negative following his removal from Friday's game against Toronto, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Madden took a 107.9-mph line drive off his forearm in the third inning of Friday's contest and was taken out of the game immediately afterward. Initial imaging suggests he escaped the incident without a fracture, but the Tigers are going to run additional tests on him as a precaution. He's tentatively lined up to start Wednesday's game against the Guardians, though that could change depending on how he feels and the results of his tests.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Hit by comebacker, leaves game
Madden was removed from Friday's game against the Blue Jays after getting hit on the arm by a line drive, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Madden was immediately replaced on the mound after he took a 107.9-mph missile off his arm in the third inning of Friday's contest. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but he'll presumably head in for imaging to determine whether he suffered a fracture.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Drawing start Friday
Madden will start Friday's game versus the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Madden has been terrific in two bulk-relief outings, allowing three runs with a 12:2 K:BB over 11 frames. The top of Toronto's lineup is heavy on right-handed bats, so the right-handed Madden will work as a traditional starter Friday. Madden threw 87 pitches his last time out and will be operating on five days' rest, so he'll be available for a full workload.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Covers six frames in bulk relief
Madden allowed three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five batters over six relief innings in a no-decision versus Kansas City on Saturday.
Detroit opted to go with an opener Saturday, so Madden didn't enter until the third frame. That saved him from being tagged with a loss, though it also prevented him from notching a quality start, which he would have earned otherwise with three runs allowed across six innings. Madden covered a starter's workload, tossing 87 pitches, 53 of which were strikes. The right-hander has worked in bulk relief in each of his two outings so far this season and has fared well, as he tossed five scoreless frames with seven punchouts in his previous appearance May 4 versus Boston. Given that success, the Tigers may opt to keep deploying Madden behind an opener, but regardless he seems likely to continue working as a rotation piece for Detroit.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Set for bulk-relief outing
Madden is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Burch Smith in Saturday's game against the Royals, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
The Tigers initially listed Madden as their starting pitcher for Saturday's contest, but he'll instead work as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen after he fared well in that capacity earlier in the week. After being summoned from Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Madden worked behind Tyler Holton later that night against the Red Sox and struck out seven over five scoreless innings of relief in his 2026 MLB debut. Detroit will soon get reinforcement to its pitching staff with Framber Valdez (suspension) due back Wednesday, but Madden should be able to hold down a spot in the rotation until the Tigers get at least two of Tarik Skubal (elbow), Casey Mize (adductor), Justin Verlander (hip) and Troy Melton (elbow) back from the injured list.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Drawing start Saturday
Madden will be the Tigers' starting pitcher for Saturday's game in Kansas City, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
Madden earned a traditional start after excelling in bulk relief in his season debut Monday versus the Red Sox, striking out seven over five scoreless frames. The right-hander threw 81 pitches in that outing and has been a starting pitcher this year during his time at Triple-A Toledo, so he shouldn't have any workload limitations Saturday.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Fires five scoreless in return
Madden did not factor into the decision Monday against the Red Sox, allowing four hits while striking out seven over five scoreless innings.
Making his first MLB appearance since 2024, Madden delivered an impressive return after being recalled from Triple-A Toledo Monday morning. The right-hander entered after Tyler Holton opened the game with a clean first inning and quickly settled in, attacking the zone and throwing 50 of his 81 pitches for strikes and punching out seven. The outing was especially encouraging for Detroit, who are dealing with the loss of Tarik Skubal, as Madden stepped in and provided a performance reminiscent of an ace. After missing all of 2025 with a shoulder strain, the 26-year-old showed no signs of rust and could be in line for a continued role moving forward.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Moves up from Triple-A
The Tigers recalled Madden from Triple-A Toledo on Monday.
In his first 21 innings with Toledo this season, Madden holds a 4.71 ERA and 21:12 K:BB. The Tigers are going with a bullpen game Monday against the Red Sox, and Madden is a candidate to enter as a bulk reliever following opener Tyler Holton. Madden posted a 4.30 ERA over six appearances (one start) for Detroit in 2024 before missing all of 2025 with a shoulder strain.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Solid so far this spring
Madden allowed a run on two hits across 3.2 innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League contest against the Red Sox. He walked three and struck out two.
The three walks were a bit worrisome, but Madden otherwise held his own against a Boston lineup featuring a number of regular starters. The righty has allowed just the one run across 5.2 innings this spring. Madden, who missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from a right rotator cuff strain, has already been optioned to Triple-A Toledo, and the team will likely want to see him get some innings under his belt there to shake off rust. However, Madden could be an option for an MLB promotion at some point down the road if he looks good in the minors.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Demoted to minors
The Tigers optioned Madden to Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Madden reached the big leagues for the first time in 2024 and submitted a 4.30 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 23 innings, but the 25-year-old righty had his entire 2025 campaign wiped out while he recovered from a right rotator cuff strain. Though he's back to full health, Madden will need to shake off some rust and pitch effectively for Toledo before getting consideration for a starting role with the big club.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Expected to be ready for camp
Madden (shoulder), who missed all of the 2025 season, is expected to be ready for spring training, MLB.com reports.
Madden sustained a right rotator cuff strain last spring and ended up missing the entire season as a result. After a long recovery period, the 25-year-old righty appears to be ready to take the mound again. As a rookie in 2024, Madden appeared in six games for the Tigers, posting a 4.30 ERA across 23 innings. He figures to compete for a bullpen role during camp.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Not set to pitch in 2025
Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that the Tigers have no expectation for Madden (shoulder) to pitch in any games this season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
Madden will continue his throwing progression as the season winds down, but the Tigers are making it a priority for the 25-year-old to enter the offseason at full health rather than counting on him to contribute in the minors or majors in 2025. The right-hander made six appearances (one start) for Detroit as a rookie last season but didn't make much of a run for a spot in the Opening Day rotation in spring training before he was shut down in early March with a rotator cuff strain.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Ready for mound work
Madden (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
After sustaining a right rotator cuff strain in spring training, Madden was placed on the 15-day injured list shortly before Opening Day and then transferred to the 60-day IL a day later when Detroit needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. As a result of the transaction, Madden won't be eligible to make his 2025 debut with the Tigers until late May, though the fact that he's already been cleared for mound work suggests he could be ready for activation at that time. Once he completes multiple bullpen sessions and faces live hitters without issue, Madden will embark on a rehab assignment that could last for the entirety of the 30-day window, as the Tigers presumably want him to build up as a starter. It's unclear if he'll have a rotation spot available for him with the big club once he's activated, however.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Moved to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Madden (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
A right rotator cuff strain has kept Madden out since early March, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until late May. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Brewer Hicklen, who was acquired from Milwaukee on Friday.
