Olson did not factor into the decision in Monday's 7-6 win over the Royals, allowing four runs on four hits and one walk with three strikeouts over 2.1 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Olson retired the first six batters he faced but hit a wall in the third, loading the bases and surrendering a grand slam to Bobby Witt. The 25-year-old threw 29 of 50 pitches for strikes and was on a limited workload after missing nearly two months with a shoulder injury. On the season, he owns a 3.50 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 95:32 K:BB across 105.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Orioles this weekend.

The Tigers activated Olson (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson is set to rejoin the rotation Monday versus the Royals after missing nearly two months with a right shoulder strain. The right-hander went just three innings and threw 45 pitches in his last rehab start, so he will be pretty limited Monday from a workload perspective.

Olson (shoulder) could be lined up to be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday against the Royals, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior reports had suggested that the 25-year-old was trending toward a return early this week in Kansas City, and Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal have been named the probable starters for Tuesday's and Wednesday's contests, respectively. Detroit hasn't officially announced a starter for Monday, but Olson appears primed to make his return after missing nearly two months due to a shoulder strain. He made a pair of rehab starts and most recent tossed three shutout innings and 45 pitches for Triple-A Toledo this past Tuesday, so Olson could be somewhat limited from a workload perspective if he toes the rubber for Detroit on Monday.

Olson (shoulder) is trending towards returning early next week in Kansas City, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCosky hints than an announcement will come Saturday, and given that Tarik Skubal has been confirmed to start Wednesday, that leaves Monday or Tuesday as potential dates for Olson to make his return to the rotation. He struck out five across three scoreless frames in his rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Toledo.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Olson (shoulder) will rejoin the major-league club to be evaluated after a successful rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander threw 45 pitches across three scoreless innings Tuesday, which is only a minor increase from the 39 pitches and two innings he tossed during his first rehab outing Sept. 5. Hinch mentioned the possibility of a third rehab start, but the next steps in Olson's rehab won't be determined until he's checked out back with the big club.

Olson (shoulder) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one across two scoreless innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marked Olson's first game activity since landing on the injured list July 21 and he ramped up to 39 pitches, 24 of which went for strikes. He averaged 94 mph on his fastball -- in line with his norms for the season -- and threw all of his pitches. Olson will still require a couple more rehab assignments, but a return in late September appears realistic.

Olson (shoulder) is beginning a rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson has been sidelined since July 20 with a right shoulder strain. He most recently threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session and should increase his workload Thursday. Olson is expected to require multiple rehab starts before being activated.

Olson (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson was cleared for mound work Aug. 21 and has now advanced to facing live hitters. The right-hander will likely require a minor-league rehab stint, though it's unclear if he'll have enough time to get fully stretched out and rejoin the rotation.

Olson is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson threw off a mound Wednesday for the first time since being placed on the injured list July 21 due to a right shoulder strain. The 24-year-old is slated for another side session Saturday. He's still expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, but he seems to be progressing well.

Olson (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday will mark Olson's first time throwing off a mound since landing on the injured list in late July, as he had been limited to playing catch off flat ground up to this point. He'll presumably need to throw several additional bullpen sessions before progressing to live batting practice and eventually a minor-league rehab assignment, but there should still be enough time left in the season for the 25-year-old to return to the Tigers' rotation, barring any setbacks.
