Jobe tossed 3.2 scoreless innings in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Blue Jays. He allowed one hit and two walks, while striking out one.
After allowed two runs in two innings in his first spring start, Jobe has dialed things up, allowing just one run across 6.2 innings in his last two outings. The 22-year-old righty is closing in on an Opening Day rotation spot, and while there will likely be some bumps in the road during his first full MLB campaign, the talent is there for Jobe to have a big fantasy impact. His stock is trending upward.

Jobe allowed one run on two hits across three innings in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Pirates. He struck out three.
Jobe was fine in his spring debut Tuesday, allowing two runs over two innings while striking out one, but he was a bit better Sunday as he dialed up the strikeouts and allowed only one run on a solo homer. The 22-year-old righty appears to be on track to earn a rotation spot out of camp, and while there may be some ups and downs during his first full MLB campaign, Jobe does offer considerable upside on the mound.

Jobe allowed two runs on a hit and a walk across two innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Orioles. He struck out one.
Making his spring debut, Jobe allowed a two-run home run to Heston Kjerstad but otherwise managed to navigate a tough Baltimore lineup playing plenty of regulars. The 22-year-old righty made his brief MLB debut toward the end of the 2024 regular season and is now hoping to make Detroit's 2025 rotation right out of camp. Jobe stands a good chance to do just that if he has a productive spring, which makes the top prospect a popular breakout candidate heading into the season.
