Framber Valdez throws 3 scoreless innings in spring debut for the Detroit Tigers

  • Framber Valdez, making his spring debut, completed three scoreless innings with three strikeouts while facing 12 batters and throwing 43 pitches at Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium on Monday, March 2, 2026.
  • Because he has averaged heavy workloads, the Tigers delayed Framber Valdez's spring competition by an extra week due to his recent four-year workload averaging about 192 innings per season.
  • Using his curveball and sinker, Valdez threw 30 of 43 pitches for strikes, induced three groundouts after Valencia's error, and recorded a third strike on a 95-mph sinker.
  • With Valdez added, the Tigers' rotation, led by Tarik Skubal and including Justin Verlander, is strengthened after his spring debut in March.
  • Next up for the Tigers, Valdez spent three weeks on backfield bullpens and not pitched winter ball since 2019, then caught a 3 p.m. bus to the airport.
