Faedo will be recalled to start Sunday's game against San Diego, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo has struggled to a 6.98 ERA in six big-league starts this season, though his ERA estimators - in particular his 3.92 SIERA - tell a different story. His combination of an average strikeout rate (23.0 percent) and an excellent walk rate (3.3 percent) should in theory lead to better results in the future, though it's unclear whether he'll get the chance to remain in the rotation for more than one start.

Faedo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following his start against the Blue Jays on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo wasn't going to pitch again before the break after struggling through 3.2 innings on Friday, so the Tigers didn't need to keep him on the roster. He might not get the chance to reclaim his rotation spot at the start of the second half, however, as his 6.98 ERA through six starts trails Reese Olson's 4.02 ERA by a significant margin. Olson has seemingly secured the Tigers' fifth starter spot, with Faedo stuck waiting for an injury to open up another chance.

Faedo (1-4) took the loss Friday, allowing seven runs on six hits and two walks over 3.2 innings against the Blue Jays. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday and made his first start at the big-league level since May 30, but it didn't go well. He allowed a season-high seven runs and couldn't complete the fourth inning, which ballooned his ERA to 6.98 through six appearances (29.2 innings). While Faedo's ERA is ugly, his 1.08 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB are solid, so he may be able to turn things around moving forward. The right-hander isn't scheduled to pitch again until after the All-Star break.

Faedo (finger) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo will be back in Detroit's pitching rotation for the first time since suffering a right middle fingernail injury in late May. The right-hander has made five starts in 2023, posting a 5.54 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 26 strikeouts over 26 innings. If he can control the long ball, six of which he's given up this year, positive regression should be in store for Faedo's ERA moving forward.

Faedo (finger) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Friday against the Blue Jays, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo has been sidelined since late May following a procedure to remove his right middle fingernail but is ready to roll after one rehab start. He didn't pitch well in that rehab outing, yielding four runs on six hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He also threw only 57 pitches and that, combined with his lengthy absence, likely means a truncated workload Friday.

Faedo (finger) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday will be Faedo's first rehab start since landing on the injured list June 3 with finger problems. He was originally scheduled to pitch Tuesday with High-A West Michigan, but the game was cancelled due to poor air quality in the area, and Faedo threw a three-inning sim game instead. If the Tigers still want to keep Faedo in the minors for multiple rehab starts, his return would almost certainly come after the All-Star break.

Faedo (finger) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with High-A West Michigan, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo has been on the injured list since late May following a procedure to remove his right middle fingernail, so this seems likely to be a multi-outing rehab stint. He had posted an uneven 5.54 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 26:2 K:BB in 26 innings (five starts) for Detroit prior to the IL stint.

Faedo (finger) resumed a throwing program Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
A week ago Faedo underwent a procedure to remove a fingernail on the middle digit of his right hand. He did some plyometric exercises and light tossing Monday before progressing to playing catch Tuesday. The right-hander will continue to ramp things up and might need a short rehab assignment before rejoining the Tigers' rotation.

Faedo (finger) took part in plyometric exercises and light tossing Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo relayed that he's feeling pain-free again after recently undergoing a procedure to remove a fingernail on the middle digit of his right hand, and he should continue to gradually start ramping up over the next week or so. Considering that Faedo has been on the injured list for just over a week, he likely won't require more than one or two rehab starts or simulated games before the Tigers feel comfortable activating him. However, with Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Matt Manning (foot) both in the midst of rehab assignments and tracking toward similar timeline to return to the big club, it's unclear if Detroit will have room for Faedo in the rotation once he's reinstated.

Faedo had a procedure Tuesday which involved a portion of his right middle fingernail being removed, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Faedo had visited a finger specialist, who recommended and performed the minor operation. The right-hander is receiving treatment and will resume a throwing program as symptoms allow. Faedo is eligible to return from the injured list next week, but a timetable for his return is unclear at the moment.
