The Detroit Tigers currently hold the best record in Major League Baseball (31-17) largely because of their excellent pitching. Yet for the second time in 10 days, Detroit put one of their top starters on the injured list.
Right-hander Reese Olson went on the 15-day IL with right ring finger inflammation, the team announced on Monday night. He joins Casey Mize, who went on the IL on May 11 with a left hamstring strain.
In nine starts, Olson has a 2.96 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings.
