Jackson Jobe is slated to start the season as the Tigers’ No. 5 pitcher, per team updates, with Kenta Maeda in the bullpen and Keider Montero optioned Saturday. (Cody Stavenhagen)

Tigers have optioned Keider Montero and Ryan Kreidler this morning

This should mean the rotation is set with Casey Mize and Jackson Jobe

Fantasy Impact:

Jobe’s 3.65 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 8:4 K:BB in 12.1 spring innings across 4 starts secure his spot as Detroit’s fifth starter, post-Maeda’s Friday shift and Montero’s Saturday cut, eyeing Seattle. The top prospect shines. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on his upside for early value in the Tigers’ 2025 rotation.
