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.

The Tigers announced Friday that Olson (shoulder) continues to make progress in his throwing distance and volume off flat ground, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

While the fact that Olson isn't shut down from throwing can be taken as a positive sign, the Tigers haven't offered any indication that he's close to a return from the 15-day injured list after being deactivated July 21 due to a right shoulder strain. With approximately six weeks left in the regular season, Olson will probably need to advance to throwing bullpen sessions and facing hitters in the next two weeks in order to have sufficient time to get stretched back out as a starter. Before landing on the shelf, Olson had been a pleasant surprise for the Tigers and fantasy managers alike through his first 19 starts of the season, logging a 3.23 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 92:31 K:BB across 103 innings.

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that Olson's right shoulder injury is considered mild after the pitcher underwent further testing, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Olson was removed early in his start Saturday against the Blue Jays and was subsequently placed on the 15-day injured list with what was referred to as a right shoulder strain. The good news is that Olson appears to have avoided structural damage, though a timetable for his return remains unclear.

The Tigers placed Olson on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right shoulder strain.

EDGE Analysis

Olson's move to the IL comes one day after he was removed from his start in the Tigers' 7-3 win over the Blue Jays due to what the team had classified as right shoulder soreness. Follow-up testing evidently revealed that Olson had suffered a strain, and the diagnosis leaves the 24-year-old with an uncertain timeline for a return from the shelf. Olson's injury now creates two openings in the Detroit rotation, as Casey Mize (hamstring) was placed on the IL earlier this month.

Olson was removed from Saturday's outing against the Blue Jays as a result of right shoulder soreness.

EDGE Analysis

Olson threw two scoreless innings, allowing one hit while walking two batters prior to exiting the contest having thrown 30 total pitches. Considering the soreness is in his throwing shoulder, Olson is an obvious candidate for a potential stint on the injured list, but more information on his status will likely come in the near future.

Olson (4-8) earned the win against the Guardians on Wednesday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

Olson allowed two runs in the third inning and a solo homer in the fourth but rebounded with two scoreless frames before departing at 95 pitches. The righty has now logged quality starts in four of his past five outings and registered consecutive victories for the first time this season. He will take a 3.30 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 92:29 K:BB into the All-Star break.

Olson (3-8) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits over 5.2 innings to earn the win Friday against the Reds. He walked two and struck out eight.

EDGE Analysis

While Reese's record isn't great, he's actually pitched quite well this season with a 3.22 ERA. The righty has been even better lately, posting a 1.88 ERA with 28 strikeouts across 24 innings in his last four starts. Olson was solid as a rookie last year, posting a 3.99 ERA over 21 games (18 starts), so it looks like he firmly belongs at this level. He'll look to keep up his strong recent play in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for Wednesday against the Guardians.

Olson allowed two runs on five hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision in Saturday's contest against the Angels. He walked three and struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

The nine strikeouts are a new season high, though the three walks also matched a season high, as Olson was all over the place Saturday. He still managed a solid outing overall despite missing out on his third win of the year. The righty's 2-8 record isn't fitting of his 3.32 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season. Olson will look for a little better luck and some more run support in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for Friday against the Reds.

Olson (2-8) earned the win after he pitched 6.1 innings, surrendering two runs on four hits while striking out three batters in Sunday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Olson tossed six scoreless frames before running into some trouble in the top of the seventh, ultimately exiting the game with one out and runners on second and third. Both runs came around to score on a two-out single by Nicky Lopez off reliever Will Vest. Nonetheless, Olson has now recorded back-to-back quality starts after a three-start stretch during which he gave up 17 earned runs over 14.2 innings to open June. The right-hander will carry a 3.35 ERA into his next projected start Friday on the road against the Angels.
