Pacheco (biceps) was reinstated from Triple-A Toledo's 7-day injured list Wednesday and assigned to High-A West Michigan.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco missed the entire 2023 season and most of 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery, then opened the current campaign on the shelf due to a right biceps strain. After making two rehab appearances in the rookie-level Florida Complex League earlier this month, Pacheco appears to be healthy again, but he looks like he'll stick around in the Midwest League for a bit before climbing to a higher level. He made his debut for West Michigan on Thursday, walking one batter in a scoreless inning of relief.

Pacheco (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers last week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco was non-tendered by the Tigers last month but is back on a minors deal as he continues his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The 25-year-old reliever has progressed to playing catch three times per week at 60 feet and is hopeful of being an option for Detroit at some point after the All-Star break.

Pacheco (elbow) was non-tendered by the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco, 25, will officially head to the open market after being designated for assignment this past Tuesday. He has yet to appear in a major-league game and will miss at least the first half of the 2024 campaign as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.

EDGE Analysis

It seemed like things were trending in this direction, as he suffered from elbow inflammation in spring training and was then placed on Detroit's 60-day injured list with an elbow strain in late-March after getting claimed off waivers from St. Louis. Pacheco could return around midseason in 2024.

Pacheco reported right elbow soreness following a bullpen session Friday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco was cleared for mound work earlier this month as he works his way back from a UCL sprain. It's not clear yet how big of setback this might be, but given that he's dealing with ligament damage it's possible it's a significant one.

Pacheco was able to throw his first bullpen session Friday, and is scheduled to throw another next week.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco has been out for the entirety of the 2023 campaign while he recovers from his right elbow sprain. The right-hander will need to throw several more bullpens and he'll then need a rehab assignment, but there's a chance he's an option for the Detroit bullpen at some point in June.

Pacheco (elbow) will begin a throwing program next week, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco was placed on the 60-day injured list earlier this week with a right elbow sprain but has apparently progressed enough that he's almost ready to throw again. A sprain is a ligament tear, so Tommy John surgery would likely be on the table if Pacheco isn't able to progress, but for now he'll attempt rehab.

Pacheco was placed on the 60-day injured list by the Tigers on Monday with a right elbow sprain, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco was dealing with an elbow injury when the Tigers claimed him off waivers from the Cardinals earlier this month and now he'll miss at least the first couple months of the season. The specifics on the 24-year-old's injury aren't clear at this time.

Pacheco (elbow) was claimed off waivers by the Tigers on Tuesday and optioned to Triple-A Toledo.

EDGE Analysis

Pacheco had been placed on outright waivers by the Cardinals earlier this month as he recovered from a bit of elbow tightness. The 24-year-old right-hander posted an encouraging 3.05 ERA with 84 strikeouts in 62 innings last season between Double-A Springfield and Triple-A Memphis. Assuming good health, he could make his MLB debut out of Detroit's bullpen at some point in 2023.
