Ty Madden - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Optioned to minors The Tigers optioned Madden to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Impact Madden boasts a 3.46 ERA and 40:13 K:BB over 39 innings, but he had been scored upon in five consecutive outings. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Tyler Kinley, who was signed by the Tigers on Monday.

Struggles continue Sunday Madden allowed three runs on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals. He struck out three.

Impact Madden did a good job of missing bats Sunday but otherwise had a rough outing, which continued a poor recent stretch of games. The righty has been scored on in five straight appearances, and he has a 9.00 ERA during the stretch. Overall, Madden has been better with a 3.46 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 40 strikeouts across 39 innings this season. He remains a trusted middle reliever with limited fantasy upside.

Secures first victory Madden (1-0) earned the win in Friday's 13-1 victory over Athletics. He allowed two hits and two walks while striking out two over three scoreless innings.

Impact The Tigers scratched Casey Mize from Friday's start with the trade deadline looming and instead went with a bullpen game. Tyler Holton served as the opener, and Madden followed with three scoreless frames of bulk relief. The right-hander rejoined the Tigers on July 21 after spending just over a month at Triple-A Toledo, and he's pitched well since returning to the majors with a 0.90 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 10:7 K:BB across 10 innings (four appearances).

The Detroit Tigers have placed right-hander Jack Flaherty on the 15-day injured list with right flexor inflammation

JULY 22 • Associated Press

Returns to majors The Tigers recalled Madden from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

Impact With Jack Flaherty landing on the injured list with right flexor inflammation, Madden will join the Tigers' bullpen to give the team another multi-inning relief option. The 26-year-old righty owns a 4.71 ERA in 42 innings at Toledo but has been far more successful in the majors, posting a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP alongside a 23:5 K:BB across 20 innings.

JULY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Relegated to Toledo The Tigers optioned Madden to Triple-A Toledo on Saturday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Impact Madden has posted a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP across 20 innings with the Tigers this season, but he'll end up as the odd man out of a roster spot following Tarik Skubal's (elbow) return from the injured list. Madden's strong performance in the majors makes him a likely candidate to return later this summer whenever Detroit needs a fresh arm.

JUNE 13 • ROTOWIRE

Pitches well Saturday Madden tossed 2.2 scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Mariners. He allowed four hits and struck out three.

Impact Madden was able to effectively scatter the four hits and give the Tigers some length after starter Keider Montero allowed all four runs in his five innings of work. The former began the season in a bulk relief role and covered five and six innings, respectively, in his first two appearances of the year. Madden has since shifted into more of a traditional long-relief role, which he filled Saturday. No matter how the righty is deployed, he's been effective with a 2.60 ERA and 9.9 K/9 across 17.1 innings so far, though his fantasy value is somewhat capped as a long reliever compared to bulk reliever or starter.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Moving to Detroit bullpen Madden has been shifted to the Tigers' bullpen, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Madden has pitched well in a starting pitcher/bulk reliever role, authoring a 3.07 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 14.2 innings. However, with Justin Verlander (hip) slated to return early next week and Tarik Skubal (elbow) coming right behind him, there's no room for Madden in the Detroit rotation.

Missing out on two-start week Madden is no longer lined up to start Sunday's contest against the Mariners, with the Tigers listing Jack Flaherty as their probable starter for that game, Jason Beck of MLB.com re...

Impact Madden returned from the 15-day injured list to start Monday's series opener versus the Rays, working 3.1 innings and striking out four while allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks in a no-decision. Flaherty ended up starting Tuesday's contest, but he'll now move ahead of Madden in the pitching schedule after securing his first win of the season while spinning five shutout innings in Detroit's 8-0 victory. The Tigers haven't clarified what Madden's role might be look like moving forward, but he soon be headed to the bullpen or to Triple-A Toledo while the Detroit rotation is set to get some reinforcements in the near future. Justin Verlander (hip) threw five shutout innings in a rehab start Tuesday for Toledo and could be activated from the 60-day injured list next week, while Tarik Skubal (elbow) could be cleared to head out on a rehab assignment as soon as Saturday.

JUNE 3 • ROTOWIRE

Lifted early in return Madden took a no-decision Monday against the Rays, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks in 3.1 innings. He struck out four.

Impact After missing about two weeks with a right forearm contusion, Madden got a very quick hook Monday in a subpar outing. The 26-year-old right-hander made his first start of the season following three relief appearances, and he threw only 48 pitches (28 strikes) before his evening came to a close. Madden, who has a 3.07 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB over 14.2 innings, could be headed back to Detroit's bullpen when Justin Verlander (hip) is ready to rejoin the rotation.

Activated ahead of Monday's start The Tigers activated Madden (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

Impact Madden is set to start Monday's game against the Rays after missing the last couple weeks with a right forearm contusion. The right-hander threw 4.1 innings and 70 pitches in his lone rehab start and should be capable of stretching out to 80 pitches or so Monday in Tampa Bay.

Set to be activated Monday Madden (forearm) is expected be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Monday's contest on the mound versus the Rays, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Madden will make his return to action with the Tigers after missing just over two weeks while recovering from a right forearm contusion. The 26-year-old tossed 4.1 innings of one-run ball, allowing four hits and three walks while striking out three in his only minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Monday. Madden has posted a 2.38 ERA and 0.79 WHIP with 12 punchouts over 11.1 innings in three appearances with Detroit this season, and Monday's start will be his first of the 2026 campaign.

Reaches fifth inning in rehab start Madden (forearm) covered 4.1 innings and allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters Monday in a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo.

Impact Madden landed on the 15-day injured list May 17 due to a right forearm contusion, but he looks like he'll be ready to return when he's first eligible or shortly thereafter. Per MLB.com, the Tigers are still deciding whether he'll be activated Sunday or stick around at Toledo for another start. Madden posted a 2.45 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in his first two outings as a bulk reliever before landing on the shelf, but Detroit may not have room in the rotation for the right-hander once he returns after the Tigers got Troy Melton back from the IL over the weekend. Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Justin Verlander (hip) also appear to be trending toward returns from the IL in the next few weeks.

MAY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to make rehab start Madden (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact It's been a quick bounce-back for Madden, who landed on the 15-day injured list just over a week ago with a bruised right forearm. He's eligible to return from the IL on Sunday and could be activated at that time, though it's unclear what role he might fill. Madden has pitched well as a bulk reliever for the Tigers, posting a 2.38 ERA and 12:2 K:BB over 11.1 innings, but with Troy Melton back in the fold, there might not be room to carry Madden on the big-league roster.

MAY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for bullpen session Madden (forearm) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Though the Tigers deactivated Madden on Sunday due to a forearm injury, he's merely dealing with a bruise rather than a muscle strain or ligament damage and should be in line for an abbreviated stint on the 15-day injured list. Assuming he makes it through Wednesday's throwing session no worse for the wear, Madden could be cleared to resume facing hitters this weekend or early next week.

MAY 18 • MOTORCITYBENGALS.COM

Headed for IL The Tigers are placing Madden on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Saturday) due to a bruised right forearm.

Impact Madden was injured Friday when he was hit by a comebacker. Subsequent X-rays were negative, but the right-hander is nonetheless going to need to take some time off while on the IL. Reliever Will Vest (forearm) has been activated from the injured list in a corresponding roster move, though it's unclear who will take Madden's spot in the rotation.
