Ty Madden

The Tigers announced Friday that Ty Madden is recovering from a strained rotator cuff in his right shoulder, per team reports.

Madden gave up three runs across two spring appearances before the injury hit this week—he’s in rest and rehab mode now, with no set return date. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues or dynasty setups can keep him on the watchlist; his absence clouds his early 2025 outlook.

Ty Madden allowed one run on five hits over five innings on Sunday against the Athletics.

Madden came in as the bulk reliever after Beau Brieske served as the opener. He'll carry a strong 2.57 ERA into his next appearance.

Ty Madden delivered a solid performance in Monday's 6-3 victory over the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

He allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out two over five innings. Despite a modest strikeout total and a slightly high number of walks, Madden's ability to limit damage on the scoreboard helped him maintain a respectable 1.80 ERA. His WHIP stands at 1.40, and while his K/9 rate of 3.6 suggests limited strikeout upside, his performance was effective enough to contribute positively to fantasy teams in formats that reward ERA and WHIP. Moving forward, Madden's fantasy value will hinge on his ability to control games and keep his ERA low, as his strikeout numbers may not provide significant help.

Ty Madden will start for the Tigers on Monday against the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Madden will be making his MLB debut. He likely isn't on the fantasy radar after posting an ERA just under 8 in Triple-A.
