Olson (finger) was activated from the 15-day injured list prior to his start Friday against the Guardians.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that Olson's (finger) next start will be in the majors, and the right-hander could be activated from the 15-day injured list to pitch Friday in Cleveland, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olson has been shelved since mid-May due to right ring finger inflammation but is ready to rejoin the Tigers rotation after making three rehab starts. He went four innings and threw 74 pitches in his most recent outing for Triple-A Toledo last Wednesday, so Olson will have a somewhat limited pitch count this weekend. The righty has been superb in nine starts for Detroit this season, collecting a 2.96 ERA and 51:19 K:BB over 48.2 innings.

Olson (finger) struck out five and allowed two earned runs on three hits and one walk across four innings Wednesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Toledo.
EDGE Analysis
Olson spotted 49 of his 74 pitches for strikes and sported a fastball that sat between 92 and 94 miles per hour on the day, about a tick behind his average velocity prior to landing on the injured list May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation. Though the 25-year-old didn't reach five innings in any of his three rehab outings with Toledo, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that all reports on Olson were positive coming out of his start Wednesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Olson is likely to return to Detroit this weekend to complete a bullpen session, and if he continues to check out fine, he could be activated from the IL to make his next start with the big club Tuesday or Wednesday in Washington.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Friday that Olson (finger) is expected to require one more rehab start before being activated from the 15-day injured list, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit optioned No. 5 starter Keider Montero to Triple-A Toledo on Friday, but that apparently won't be a precursor to Olson being activated during the upcoming week. Instead, Olson will most likely make his third rehab start for Toledo this Tuesday or Wednesday, and if he checks out fine, he'll presumably be activated from the IL during the first week of July. Olson, who has been on the shelf since May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation, most recently tossed 3.2 scoreless innings and 58 pitches for Toledo on Thursday, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out five.

Olson (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olson has been sidelined since May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation, but he's about to embark on the final step of his recovery. General manager Jeff Greenberg said Sunday that he's "cautiously optimistic" that Olson will return from the injured list "sooner rather than later," though he may require multiple appearances at Triple-A before being cleared to join the big-league club.

Olson (finger) threw a bullpen session Saturday without issue, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olson didn't throw his changeup during the session, as his inflamed right ring finger is still preventing him from using his full arsenal in workouts. That said, general manager Jeff Greenberg noted Sunday that he's "cautiously optimistic" that Olson will return from the injured list "sooner rather than later." Olson could be ready to mix in his changeup during his next throwing session, and if that goes well, he could advance to facing hitters in live batting practice.

Olson received an injection to address the inflammation in his right ring finger Monday and is expected to resume playing catch Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander landed on the shelf with the injury May 19, and the inflammation apparently returned after he was briefly shut down from throwing. Olson is without an official timeline for his return but will likely be out for at least a couple more weeks as he ramps his throwing program back up.

Olson (finger) was scheduled to throw another bullpen session Saturday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Olson has now thrown a pair of bullpen sessions within the past four days as he continues to ramp back up after being placed on the injured list May 19 due to right ring finger inflammation. Though the right-hander doesn't look to be in line for an extended stay on the IL, he'll still need to face hitters in live batting practice and potentially complete a brief minor-league rehab assignment prior to being activated.

Olson (finger) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis

Olson (finger) threw on flat ground Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thursday marks the first time Olson has done any sort of throwing since he landed on the injured list Monday with inflammation in his right ring finger. The right-hander is confident that he won't need to spend much more than the 15-day minimum on the IL, though he'll need to start throwing off a mound soon for that to be a realistic possibility.
