I Want Leave For Him To Stay: Tigers Pitcher Officially Confirms Decision After Devastating Injury Setback

*Detroit, MI* – In what could be a turning point for both his career and the Detroit Tigers’ season, promising young pitcher **\[Pitcher’s Name]** has officially confirmed the difficult decision to undergo season-ending surgery following a severe injury. The setback comes just as expectations were rising, both in the clubhouse and across the league.

Injury Details & Diagnosis

The pitcher, who has been one of the most watched arms in the Tigers’ rotation, first experienced discomfort in his **\[arm/elbow/shoulder/back]** during a recent outing on **\[date]**. After exploratory imaging and consultations with multiple physicians, it was determined that the injury was worse than initially feared. A **\[torn UCL / detached labrum / stress fracture / etc.]** was identified, one that cannot properly heal without surgical intervention.

– The Decision: Leave to Stay

When asked about the decision to go under the knife rather than trying to tough it out or attempt non-surgical rehabilitation, **\[Pitcher’s Name]** said:

> “I want to leave for him to stay—leave the possibility open for everything to be there when I come back. I don’t want to cut corners. If I miss time now, at least I give myself a shot at being whole.”

It’s a tough path: surgery, long rehab, and uncertainty. But the pitcher expressed hope that the operation will allow a stronger return in **\[12‑18 months / next season]**, not just physically but mentally—free from lingering pain or limitations.

Impact on the Tigers

This loss reverberates beyond just the player. The Tigers, already dealing with several injuries in their pitching staff, now have to adjust their rotation and bullpen strategy. The front office and coaching staff are reportedly exploring internal options—prospects from the minors, bullpen reshuffling—and possibly even trade options, to stabilize the rotation.

Manager **\[Name]** remarked:

> “We hate to see this happen, but we respect his choice. It’s the responsible call. We’ll support him fully through this. Right now, our job is to figure out who steps in, how the rest of the squad adapts, and how we mitigate this loss.”

The Road to Recovery

Surgery has been scheduled for **\[approximate date]**, with an anticipated rehab period spanning **\[months]**. The standard recovery for this kind of procedure involves physical therapy, incremental throwing programs, bullpen sessions, then live game action, likely starting in the minors.

Teammates have rallied around him, offering support and optimism:

> “He’s got the toughness,” said **\[teammate]**. “He wants this. When he comes back, we know he’ll be that much more determined.”
What’s Next

For **\[Pitcher’s Name]**, the goal is not just to return, but to come back better. That means adhering to rehab, staying engaged with the team, and maintaining mental sharpness. For the Tigers, the season just got harder—but if handled well, this could be a defining moment that tests the team’s depth and character.
