Veteran Tigers reliever out for season after shoulder surgery
- Detroit Tigers right-handed reliever Jason Foley underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in May 2025 in Detroit.
- Foley, who experienced a right shoulder strain last month and was assigned to Triple-A Toledo following spring training, was anticipated to play a significant role in the bullpen this season.
- He led the Tigers with 28 saves in 2024, tied for team lead in appearances with 69, and posted a 3.15 ERA while pitching 6.2 scoreless innings in Triple-A this year.
- Manager A.J. Hinch expressed strong admiration for Foley’s competitive spirit and confidence in his proactive approach to recovery.
- The surgery ended Foley’s 2025 season, but the Tigers still hold his rights for 2026, although they may choose to non-tender him during the offseason.
