Olson was optioned to Triple-A Toledo by the Tigers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Any slim chance Olson might have had to make the Opening Day roster was squashed by an abdominal injury he suffered early on in camp. The good news is he's healthy now, so he should be part of Toledo's rotation when their season begins.

Olson (abdomen) has been cleared for all baseball activities, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson has been slowed by abdominal soreness this spring. It's not clear when he might make his Grapefruit League debut, but it shouldn't be long.

Olson (abdomen) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson has dealt with abdominal soreness all spring, but a recent MRI came back clean and he's ready to test things out from the bump. The pitching prospect is in line to begin the season at Triple-A Toledo.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Olson (abdomen) is day-to-day after he underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed no strain, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson will likely be sidelined for a few days while he recovers from abdominal soreness, but the encouraging results from the MRI should be enough for him to steer clear of an extended absence. The left-hander is expected to open the season at Triple-A Toledo, and he should be able to get in some appearances in the Grapefruit League if he experiences no setbacks once he resumes throwing.

Olson will receive an MRI Tuesday due to left abdominal soreness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson had been sidelined by a sore pitching elbow but now it appears he has a new injury to deal with. More will be known about his status after the results of the MRI are in.

Olson (elbow) will throw live batting practice March 1, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson has been eased into things during camp due to some soreness in his pitching elbow, but he appears to be making progress. The 23-year-old is likely set to begin the season at Triple-A Toledo.

Olson was added to the Tigers' 40-man roster Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson spent the entirety of 2022 with Double-A Erie, recording a 4.14 ERA and 1.23 WHIP through 119.2 innings. He was placed on the 7-day injured list in September for and undisclosed reason, but will almost certainly be ready to go for the start of 2023.

Olson was placed on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Erie on Saturday for an undisclosed reason, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson struggled at Erie over the last few months, posting a 4.99 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 61.1 innings over his last 13 appearances. The nature of his injury hasn't yet been revealed, and it's unclear when he'll be back to full health.

Olson has given up 18 earned runs in his last 20.2 innings spanning five outings for Double-A Erie.

EDGE Analysis

He's posted a 26:10 K:BB during that time, so Olson is still missing bats, but his walk rate has spiked and he's been much more hittable -- he's given up 28 hits in that span, including seven of the 10 homers he's allowed this season. This represents a surprising about-face from Olson's results earlier this season, as he struck out 90 batters (with just 15 walks) while putting up a 3.24 ERA over 58.1 innings in his first 13 appearances. In light of his recent struggles, a 2022 MLB debut can be all but ruled out, but Olson's upside means he's still worth keeping an eye on.

Olson has a 3.20 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 66:10 K:BB over nine starts (45 innings) for Double-A Erie.

EDGE Analysis

The Tigers have developed a number of intriguing pitching prospects over the last few years, and Olson -- a 13th-round pick by the Brewers in 2018 who came over in last year's Daniel Norris trade -- may be their latest success story. He struggled mightily with his control across two levels last season, but that hasn't been an issue at all this year -- and, if anything, he's gotten unlucky with his ERA. Olson has a violent delivery that may expose him to some injury risk, but with the command improvements and strikeout ability he's shown so far in 2022, there's a lot to like here.
