Tigers Injury Updates: Reese Olson timeline, Wenceel Pérez rehab, players sick
Reese Olson timeline
Reese Olson, the Tigers' top prospect, is expected to miss the entire 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2022. Olson, who was drafted by the Tigers with the fourth overall pick in the 2021 MLB Draft, is a highly-touted pitching prospect who was expected to make his MLB debut in 2023. However, the Tommy John surgery will sideline him for the entire season, and he is not expected to return to the mound until 2024.
Wenceel Pérez rehab
Wenceel Pérez, the Tigers' closer, is currently rehabbing from a right elbow injury that he suffered in September 2022. Pérez, who was acquired by the Tigers in a trade with the Brewers in August 2022, is a key part of the Tigers' bullpen. He is expected to be ready for the start of the 2023 season.
Players sick
Several Tigers players have been sick with the flu in recent days, including Miguel Cabrera, Javier Báez, and Akil Baddoo. The Tigers have been taking precautions to prevent the spread of the flu, including having the players wear masks in the clubhouse and on the field. The Tigers are hopeful that the players will be healthy enough to play in the team's first spring training game on February 25.
