Flaherty Targeting Mid-September Return From Flexor IL Stint
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch says Flaherty could throw a bullpen session as early as this weekend, with a mid-September return in sight — if all goes well.
Jack Flaherty has been on the 15-day IL for about a month with flexor inflammation, having already missed more time than initially expected. Hinch confirmed Flaherty could throw a bullpen session this weekend, putting a mid-September return on the table. However, any setback in his throwing progression could result in a season-ending shutdown, particularly if Detroit falls out of playoff contention. The Tigers currently sit 2.5 games back of the final AL wild card spot with a 61-67 record after losing six of their last seven.
