2025 Fantasy Outlook
Madden was among a handful of Detroit players who made their MLB debuts in 2024, and the righty more or less held his own. He posted a 4.30 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 23 innings of work across six appearances (one start), often pitching in a bulk relief capacity. Madden only struck out 17 batters in those 23 innings, but he fanned 102 across 79 innings for Triple-A Toledo and has a plus fastball and a plus slider, so there could be room for growth in this area at the MLB level. The big question for the 24-year-old heading into 2025 will be his role. Tarik Skubal is the only truly established starter on the roster, but the Tigers have a number of younger options with upside behind him. As a result, Madden may again work out of the bullpen. Even if he's a bulk reliever, such an arrangement would limit the youngster's ceiling. Read Past Outlooks
Ready for mound work
Madden (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After sustaining a right rotator cuff strain in spring training, Madden was placed on the 15-day injured list shortly before Opening Day and then transferred to the 60-day IL a day later when Detroit needed to open up a spot on the 40-man roster. As a result of the transaction, Madden won't be eligible to make his 2025 debut with the Tigers until late May, though the fact that he's already been cleared for mound work suggests he could be ready for activation at that time. Once he completes multiple bullpen sessions and faces live hitters without issue, Madden will embark on a rehab assignment that could last for the entirety of the 30-day window, as the Tigers presumably want him to build up as a starter. It's unclear if he'll have a rotation spot available for him with the big club once he's activated, however.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Tigers all of a sudden have a decent amount of starting pitching depth, so while Madden could be ready sometime this summer, there's no guarantee a spot will be open. A 6-foot-3 righty with a plus fastball and a plus slider, Madden has thrown over 115 innings in back-to-back seasons. He still hasn't reached Triple-A, but he has made 33 appearances at Double-A, dating back to 2022. Madden's 10.2 percent walk rate was the closest thing to a blemish on his 2023 season, and while scouts project him for average control, it's not a given that he'll be a starter long term. His changeup, cutter and curveball are middling or worse offerings, and he could potentially touch triple digits with his fastball if he were working out of the bullpen. Madden won't need to be added to the 40-man roster as Rule 5 draft protection until after the 2024 season, so he needs to force the issue to debut this year.
