A detailed list of nope about the Detroit Tigers
The Tigers find themselves in a precarious position early in the season. They’ve lost two starters as Casey Mize and now Tarik Skubal are out of commission, and they just dropped the first game of the series to one of the most struggling teams in the AL. They needed to start winning, if only to […]

This is going to be a grab bag of news items on the Tigers for Tuesday. Manager A.J. Hinch was on MLB Radio on Tuesday morning. He confirmed that infielder Zach McKinstry will return from the injured list against the Boston Red Sox tonight. McKinstry was banged up in a pair of collisions in a […]
Under the leadership of Scott Harris, the Tigers have put a great deal of money and effort into stocking the low minors with lottery ticket teenagers, hoping for some big breakouts. Though injuries have prevented the team from reaping much in the way of tangible rewards yet, it makes for an exciting bunch of players […]
The Detroit Tigers dropped the series opener at home against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night, 5-4, in a game that Tarik Skubal was supposed to start, but instead, Tyler Holton took the mound to open things up for the second straight day. The weather was ugly, but not nearly as bad as losing […]
On a day in which some big, dark, looming injury news was made, some big, dark, looming clouds — literal, not metaphorical — hung over downtown Detroit. Eventually, those clouds caused a rain delay, but after dodging the drops, the Tigers dropped the opening contest of their three-game home series against the Red Sox, 5-4. […]

During Detroit Tigers’ ace, Tarik Skubal’s last outing, there was momentary concern as the pitcher shook out his left arm on several occasions. His velocity and command didn’t appear to be impacted and Skubal didn’t think there was anything really wrong. Unfortunately, as A.J. Hinch told reporters minutes ago, loose bodies were found in his […]
Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) A 6-3 loss led to a series tie between Columbus and Toledo on Sunday. The Mud Hens had just four hits, two of which came from Gage Workman. Tyler Gentry singled in Workman, who doubled with two outs in the fourth, tying the game. The other two […]
No surprise here, as the Detroit Tigers’ rookie phenom was a candidate for league MVP in March and April. He is second place to Aaron Judge in the American League in Baseball Reference’s rWAR with 2.1 wins above replacement and currently tracking toward a potential 9 WAR season in his major league debut. He’s made […]

The Detroit Tigers bullpen put together a really impressive game as six different relievers handled the Rangers without much trouble. Meanwhile, Spencer Torkelson supplied some power, and a parade of soft hits that found holes helped them pile up the runs and win this series two games to one on Sunday night. The Tigers have […]

Columbus Clippers 5, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Zach McKinstry hit a home run in his Triple-A debut on Saturday, but Toledo’s offense didn’t do much else in a 5-3 loss to Columbus. McKinstry hit his bomb in the fourth with Max Burt on base. It was the only extra-base hit of the day, but […]
The Detroit Tigers evened up their weekend home series against the Texas Rangers on Saturday night with a 5-1 victory. Keider Montero gave the good guys 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball, while Dillon Dingler’s three-run shot in the opening frame was enough to earn the W. Sunday night, the two teams will duke it […]
After a rough day of injury news and in the wake of another messy start from Jack Flaherty, the Detroit Tigers needed to settle things down.

Toledo Mud Hens 18, Columbus Clippers 5 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long was scratched prior to this game, fueling talk that he might be part of a spot start plan against the Rangers on Sunday in Casey Mize’s regular turn. Instead, it was a bullpen day with Grant Holman leading the way, and early on the Clippers […]
The Detroit Tigers opened up their six-game homestand with a 5-4 loss to the Texas Rangers on Friday night.

On Saturday night, the two teams will do it again, with right-hander Keider Montero taking the mound for […]
After a road trip full of late heartbreaks and near-misses, it was time for a little home-cookin’ with a three-game weekend series on tap with the Texas Rangers.

Another week, another Baseball America staff draft to cover. Why not? I love the draft, probably because it was the only chance for hope for much of the Al Avila years; even now, with the Detroit Tigers in first place, I can’t shake the habit. So here we are yet again. A ‘Staff Draft’ is […]
Happy Friday, everyone! The Tigers eked out a win against the best team in baseball yesterday afternoon.

The team now heads home to hopefully […]
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Columbus Clippers 3 (box) The Mud Hens pummeled Clippers pitching while the bullpen dominated, racking up 11 strikeouts. Once again, Ricky Vanasco was outstanding.
