Olson said Monday he received a positive that he won’t require shoulder surgery. He remains without a clear timetable to return for now.

Reese Olson is expected to be out for the season with a shoulder strain.

It is unclear if Olson can return for the postseason. This appears to be part of why Detroit traded for Chris Paddack on Monday.

Reese Olson allowed five earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over 5.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

After today’s outing, Olson now has a 3.34 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 4-5 record across 14 starts this season. It's been a rocky stretch since returning from the IL for Olson. He has yet to make it into the sixth inning, but did get up to 95 pitches on Thursday. He looks pretty much like the same pitcher he was last year, which makes him a useful piece for fantasy. He'll look to get back on track next time out against the selling Diamondbacks.
