Sewald, out since mid-July with a shoulder strain, will be making his Tigers debut after being acquired from the Guardians at the deadline. He allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings on a rehab assignment, and he had a 4.70 ERA in 18 appearances for Cleveland prior to the trade.

The 35-year-old right-hander has been inching his way back from a right shoulder strain that has kept him sidelined since early July. He’ll probably need several appearances in minor league games before he’s ready to join the Tigers’ bullpen. If all goes well, there’s a chance that he could be ready to be activated by next weekend.

It’s the first time that the 35-year-old hurler has thrown a bullpen since joining the Tigers. The Tigers will wait and see how he’s feeling on Sunday before deciding the next step in his recovery process. There’s still no clear timetable for when he may be able to join the Tigers’ bullpen.

Sewald was placed on the injured list retroactive to July 12, so he now won’t be eligible to pitch for Detroit until the middle of September.

Sewald is currently on the IL with a shoulder strain, but has been a consistently solid reliever since 2021 with plenty of swing-and-miss in his game. He is not likely to be an option to close in Detroit, but he should be a solid addition to the late-inning hierarchy for the Tigers.

No word yet on how much time Sewald figures to miss. Cleveland will make a corresponding roster move following the All-Star break. The 35-year-old former stopper missed two months earlier this season with a shoulder strain. There should be an update on his status at some point in the coming days.

Before anyone panics, Emmanuel Clase had worked in three-straight games, and wasn’t available. No closer controversy here. Sewald isn’t long removed from being an effective closer for the Mariners and a brief moment of it with Arizona, but Clase will get the overwhelming majority of save chances for the remainder of the year.

Shoulder issues tend to require lengthy absences, so it certainly sounds like a potential injured list situation. Sewald was lifted from Monday’s relief appearance against the Twins and will likely undergo further imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage.
