4/18/25 | Detroit Tigers Slugger Breaks Ice-Cold Slump With Huge Night Over Royals. A second victory of the year from Reese Olson -- and perhaps his best start yet in 2025 -- stood out as the right-hander tossed five scoreless innings with just four hits allowed and five strikeouts. Star outfielder Riley Greene got off to a decent start to the year after being named an All-Star for the first time in his career last season, but the last couple of weeks had been absolutely dreadful. During a five-game stretch last week, Greene had slashed .058/.143/.053. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/detroit-tigers-... |

3/15/25 | Increased Velocity of Detroit Tigers Starting Pitcher Hints at Major Breakout. One area of their roster the Detroit Tigers were looking to improve the most this winter was their starting pitching rotation. Relying heavily on the bullpen, Skubal presented that group a chance to get a rest each time he took the mound by pitching deep into the game. Part of the reason the Tigers were in such a predicament with their rotation was a multitude of injuries. One of the players who missed an extended stretch of time was Reese Olson, who came out of the gate on fire in 2024. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/increased-veloc... |

2/27/25 | Detroit Tigers Relief Pitcher Draws Bold Comparison to Seattle Mariners Ace. The Detroit Tigers have quietly put together one of the strongest pitching staffs in baseball. If Reese Olson and Casey Mize can stay healthy, they have a strong group behind reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal. The Tigers had an elite relief staff that adapted nicely to the strategy manager A.J. Hinch deployed with openers, bulk pitchers and full bullpen games to eat innings when Skubal wasn't on the mound during the playoffs. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/tigers/news/detroit-tigers-... |
10/10/24 | Tigers starting Reese Olson against Guardians in Game 4 of ALDS, planning to pause pitching chaos. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch planned to start right-hander Reese Olson against Cleveland in Game 4 of the AL Division Series with a chance to advance and hoped to leave him on the mound for more than just an inning or two. Hinch has used what he calls “pitching chaos” by relying on relievers to pitch when it's not the turn of AL Cy Young Award favorite Tarik Skubal. “It's OK to have a regular start by somebody not named Tarik Skubal,” Hinch said with a grin Wednesday, a few hours before the first pitch at Comerica Park.

Olson knew he would enter the game to face the Cleveland Guardians' fifth batter, Lane Thomas. In the Tigers' ideal plan, Olson would have entered in the second inning. Instead, the call came with no outs in the first.

Detroit Tigers right-handed pitcher Reese Olson will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday night. It's unclear how long Olson's rehab stint will last.
