Based on how the 2022 Detroit Tigers’ season has played out, season ending injuries are no surprise on the pitching front. That said, it’s really too bad that a superb breakout campaign from reliever Joe Jiménez has ended with only a week and a half remaining due to a lumbar strain. The club announced on Saturday that the right-hander has been moved to the 15-day injured list, effectively ending him season. Early reports indicate it isn’t too serious, and the right-hander is expected to rehab this offseason and be ready to go in the spring. Reliever Angel de Jesus has been recalled in his place.
