Thayron Liranzo homers again in Erie victory, Vest and Brieske rehab

Beau Brieske got the start in this one as his rehab progression advanced to Triple-A. He gave up a run in the first, but tossed a clean second inning. Brieske averaged 95.9 mph on his fourseamer, and mixed in some good changeups in his outing. He looks fairly close to rejoining the Tigers. Will Vest […]

Tigers 3, Blue Jays 2: Tork walks it off

The Tigers came home from New York with their tails between their legs, hoping their fortunes would change with some home-cooking. An unexpected bullpen game (of sorts) with finally some strong pitching, a key stolen base and a well-placed line drive gave the Tigers a 3-2 victory in the opener of a three-game weekend series […]

Casey Mize on track to start for the Tigers on Saturday

Well, the question over the past two weeks was whether the Detroit Tigers could hold it together long enough to start getting some help back off the injured list. Suffice it to say it hasn’t gone well. Losers of eight of their last ten games, the Tigers are still only 4.5 games behind first place […]

Thayron Liranzo goes yard in Erie victory, Malachi Witherspoon blanks Clearwater

Omaha Storm Chasers 7, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long got the start, and after a few false starts coming off the injury list, is at least working regularly back toward full strength. He wasn’t good in this one, however. He gave up three runs in two innings of work. Konnor Pilkington took over […]

Mets 9, Tigers 4: Detroit gets swept out of the Big Apple

I would start this recap by talking about the importance of the Tigers avoiding a sweep, and how they need to come together to prove they are a better team than what we’ve been seeing from them, but that’s just stating the obvious at this point and the Mets are starting Nolan McLean, who totally […]

Troy Melton rehabs in Toledo, Carson Rucker homers twice for Lakeland

Omaha Storm Chasers 3, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Troy Melton’s rehab work went reasonably well for the Hens, but after building a slim early lead they couldn’t add on runs and the Storm Chasers avenged their rough loss on Tuesday. Melton’s stuff looked excellent and he mixed in five different pitches in this outing, […]

Game 43 Preview: Tigers try to even series at Mets on Wednesday night

The struggles continue for the Detroit Tigers, who opened up their three-game road series at the New York Mets on Tuesday night with a miserable 10-2 loss. Jack Flaherty only lasted 3 2/3 innings and gave up three runs, which was all it took to overtake the visitors’ anemic offense. The good news is that […]

Max Anderson rakes in Hens rout of Omaha, Jhonan Coba shines in FCL outing

Toledo Mud Hens 19, Omaha Storm Chasers 1 (box) The Mud Hens got a solid start out of Dylan File, but they didn’t need any help as they piled up the runs early and put it to Storm Chasers’ pitching all game long. Gary Jones first game as Mud Hens manager went quite well. Ben […]

Mets 10, Tigers 2: A lousy excuse for a ball game

After limping out of Kansas City bruised and full of more question-marks than The Riddler, the Tigers went to New York City to face the Mets, who have been terrible so far. Well, the questions kept coming as fast as the Mets scored runs in this one, with the New Yorkers besting the Detroiters by […]

Troy Melton’s rehab moves to Toledo, Casey Mize and Will Vest throw bullpens

The Detroit Tigers tend to keep their injury reports as quiet as possible. That makes it difficult to interpret how things are actually going with various injured players. Zach McKinstry was on the injured list for a few weeks for what was described as hip/abdominal inflammation. Turns out it was a Grade 3 oblique tear […]

Game 42 Preview: Tigers head to Big Apple to take on Mets

The Detroit Tigers open up the second half of their six-game road trip on Tuesday night with a trip to Queens to take on the New York Mets. The team has played an ugly brand of baseball of late — and by “team”, I mean the Tigers, but the Mets have not been great either. […]

Bryce Rainer hits second High-A homer but Whitecaps lose again

Memphis Redbirds 8, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) A day after scoring 13 runs the day before, the Toledo Mud Hens had just six hits in an 8-1 loss, ending the series with the Memphis Redbirds tied at three games apiece. Max Anderson and Andrew Navigato each had two hits, Ben Malgeri drove in the […]

Gage Workman introduced himself with a bang on Sunday

On Sunday night in Kansas City, Detroit Tigers infielder and longtime farm hand Gage Workman, launched a two-run homer in his first major league at-bat with the Tigers. He’s already contributed, but whether he can continue to help the Tigers is a pretty big question mark. For years, Workman has been a talented minor league […]

Tigers 6, Royals 3: The kids are alright, again

The younger Detroit Tigers powered them to victory on Sunday, snapping a five-game skid. Gage Workman launched his first major league homer after being called up for Kerry Carpenter earlier in the day. Hao-Yu Lee and Wenceel Pérez had big RBI knocks, as did Matt Vierling, and the bullpen was pretty good overall filling in […]
