Cisnero (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Lakeland on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero has yet to pitch this season. He began a rehab assignment in June, but that had to be paused after he experienced renewed discomfort in his shoulder. It's unclear how much time Cisnero will need to ramp up, though a return before the All-Star break appears realistic.

Cisnero (shoulder/Achilles) reported to the Tigers' spring training facility in Lakeland, Fla. on Monday to continue his rehab program, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero said he expects to spend about two weeks building up in Florida before heading to Triple-A Toledo for a rehab assignment. The right-hander opened the season on the Tigers' 60-day injured list while recovering from a strained shoulder and was cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 9, but he was pulled off the assignment after just one appearance when he experienced swelling in his Achilles' tendon.

Cisnero (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero has been out for the entire season to this point while nursing a right shoulder strain, but he's nearing a return to the big leagues. He'll likely make multiple appearances with Toledo before being activated off the 60-day injured list, making it possible that he returns at some point next week. Cisnero will provide the Tigers with another veteran bullpen piece, having produced a 3.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with 62 strikeouts over 61.2 innings in 67 appearances in 2021.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero began the regular season on the 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder strain, but he's been cleared to return to game action with the minor-league club. The right-hander will likely require several rehab appearances following his lengthy absence, but he seems to be trending toward a return from the injured list in the coming weeks.

Ciscnero (shoulder) threw 40 pitches during a bullpen session Sunday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander began throwing off a mound last week, and he's now close to pitching against live hitters. Cisnero has been sidelined since late March by the shoulder strain but is now closing in on his return to game action.

Cisnero (shoulder) is scheduled to begin throwing off a mound Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero has been on the shelf all season after he was diagnosed with a right shoulder strain late in spring training. The right-hander has resumed throwing off flat ground in recent weeks, but he looks like he'll soon be able to move on to the next phase of his rehab program by throwing bullpen sessions. Since he currently resides on the 60-day injured list, Cisnero isn't eligible to make his 2022 debut for the Tigers until at least early June.

Cisnero was placed on the 60-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reliever suffered a right elbow laceration when he fell down the stairs in September, ending his 2021 campaign prematurely. The injury wasn't a concern heading into the spring, however, as Detroit signed him to a one-year, $1.9 million contract in his first year of arbitration, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Cisnero got off to a slow start to camp and experienced renewed soreness following a Grapefruit League appearance Sunday, but the injury is related to his shoulder rather than his elbow this time around. As a result of his diagnosis, Cisnero will be forced to miss the first couple months of the season. With Andrew Chafin (groin) also opening the season on the IL, the Tigers' bullpen depth will be tested early on in 2022.

Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Cisnero reported renewed soreness in his right elbow during his most recent Grapefruit League appearance Sunday against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cisnero was slowly integrated into the Tigers' pitching schedule earlier this spring while he worked his way back from the elbow issue that ended his 2021 campaign prematurely. The 32-year-old was sharp over his first two Grapefruit League outings, but he unraveled against the Phillies, giving up three earned runs on a home run and two walks while recording just two outs. The Tigers could wait and see how he checks out during a bullpen session before deciding if he'll be included on the Opening Day roster or if he'll require a stint on the injured list. According to Woodbery, Elvin Rodriguez was summoned from minor-league camp Tuesday and could step into the bullpen to begin the season if Cisnero isn't available.
