Jackson Jobe has already completed the emotional part of his comeback. He returned to a major league mound, trusted his rebuilt right elbow and shut down the San Francisco Giants for five innings.
Now comes something different.
When Jobe takes the mound Friday night at Comerica Park, he will not be making a ceremonial appearance for a rebuilding club. The Detroit Tigers need him to perform against the team sitting directly above them in the American League Central.
This return comes with pressure, opportunity and a ballpark full of Detroit fans waiting to welcome him home.
Jobe could hardly have scripted a better season debut.
