The Tigers announced that right-hander Alex Lange<\/a> has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Left-hander Bailey Horn<\/a> has been optioned to Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding active roster move. The 40-man roster had a vacancy but is now full.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been quite an odyssey for Lange in recent years. He took over the closer\u2019s role in Detroit in 2023, recording 26 saves that year. He tossed 66 innings with a 3.68 earned run average. His 15.6% walk rate was awful but he struck out 27.4% of batters faced while getting grounders on 50.6% of balls in play.<\/p>\n

His results backed up early in 2024. He started the season with a 4.34 ERA through 18 2\/3 innings. His 23.3% strikeout rate, 18.9% walk rate and 45.8% ground ball rate all moved in the wrong direction relative to the year before.<\/p>\n

The Tigers optioned him to the minors in late May. He injured himself a few weeks later, requiring lat surgery in mid-June. The Tigers didn\u2019t announce an expected recovery timeline but it has taken Lange 14 months to get back to the majors. They put him on the major league 60-day IL when they signed John Brebbia back in February.<\/p>\n

Now Lange finally gets a chance to get things back on track after all those challenges. For what it\u2019s worth, his recent rehab numbers have been similar to his previous performance. He tossed 13 1\/3 Triple-A innings with a 4.73 ERA, 31.5% strikeout rate, 13% walk rate and 62.1% ground ball rate.<\/p>\n
