Manager A.J. Hinch said Tuesday that the Tigers have no expectation for Madden (shoulder) to pitch in any games this season, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Madden will continue his throwing progression as the season winds down, but the Tigers are making it a priority for the 25-year-old to enter the offseason at full health rather than counting on him to contribute in the minors or majors in 2025. The right-hander made six appearances (one start) for Detroit as a rookie last season but didn't make much of a run for a spot in the Opening Day rotation in spring training before he was shut down in early March with a rotator cuff strain.

Madden (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sustaining a right rotator cuff strain in spring training, Madden was placed on the 15-day injured list shortly before Opening Day and then transferred to the 60-day IL a day later when Detroit needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. As a result of the transaction, Madden won't be eligible to make his 2025 debut with the Tigers until late May, though the fact that he's already been cleared for mound work suggests he could be ready for activation at that time. Once he completes multiple bullpen sessions and faces live hitters without issue, Madden will embark on a rehab assignment that could last for the entirety of the 30-day window, as the Tigers presumably want him to build up as a starter. It's unclear if he'll have a rotation spot available for him with the big club once he's activated, however.

The Tigers transferred Madden (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

A right rotator cuff strain has kept Madden out since early March, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until late May. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Brewer Hicklen, who was acquired from Milwaukee on Friday.

The Tigers placed Madden (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Madden has been sidelined by a strained rotator cuff in his right shoulder since early March and remains without a return timeline. Once he's healthy, he'll likely be sent to Triple-A Toledo or work as a long reliever out of Detroit's bullpen.

The Tigers announced Friday that Madden is recovering from a strained rotator cuff in his right shoulder and will miss the start of the regular season, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Madden surrendered three earned runs in two spring appearances before suffering the injury earlier this week. He's completing a period of rest and rehab but is without a clear timeline for his return.

Madden allowed three runs on four hits and a walk across three innings of relief during Saturday's 4-0 loss to the White Sox. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

Opener Beau Brieske was tagged with the loss for allowing just a single run, but Madden didn't help matters during his uneven relief appearance. The 24-year-old righty had a sharp 2.55 ERA over his first four outings following his first MLB promotion in late August, but he now has a 10.12 ERA over his last two games. The Tigers are headed to the postseason and have some decisions to make with their pitching staff, so it remains to be seen if Madden makes the playoff roster and gets to pitch again during his rookie campaign.

Madden (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Orioles. He allowed one run on three hits and one walk in 3.2 innings. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Madden entered in the second inning following the opener, Beau Brieske, who pitched the opening frame. Madden looked good once again, as he only ran into problems in the third inning when he allowed his lone run. After starting in his MLB debut, the rookie has pitched in long relief each of his last three outings and has allowed just five earned runs in 17.2 innings. The 24-year-old will carry a 2.55 ERA into his next appearance.

Madden was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday, Emily Waldon of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Madden spent the first few days of spring training at major-league camp as a non-roster invitee, but he'll report to minor-league camp ahead of Grapefruit League games. The 2021 first-round pick will make his minor-league debut to begin the regular season.

Madden earned an invitation to major-league spring training on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Madden joins several top prospects at big-league camp, but he's nowhere near pushing for a roster spot. The 2021 first-round pick didn't pitch in a competitive game last season after getting drafted, so he's still yet to make his professional debut, let alone is MLB debut.
