On April 20, 2022, De Jesús was promoted to the major leagues for the first time after Matt Manning was placed on the injured list.[4] De Jesús made his major league debut three days later and pitched two scoreless innings against the Colorado Rockies in the first game of a doubleheader. He was sent back down to Toledo prior to the second game of the doubleheader.[5] De Jesús was recalled by the Tigers on July 15.[6] He was designated for assignment on December 23, 2022. On January 6, 2023, De Jesús was sent outright to Triple-A Toledo.[7]

De Jesús was assigned to Double–A Erie to begin the 2023 season. In 32 appearances, he recorded a 4.21 ERA with 45 strikeouts and 2

Tommy John surgery, and would miss the remainder of the season and likely the entire 2024 season as well.[8]
