There has been plenty of bad blood between the Tigers and Yankees in the past, from Rookie of the Year voting to bench-clearing brawls. But the two teams are not generally considered to be rivals. Still, there’s always a good chance of sparks flying when these two clubs meet up, and before things get interesting

Detroit Tigers hitting machine Miguel Cabrera stands merely five knocks away from baseball immortality. The coveted 3000 Hits Club is sitting there waiting to coronate Cabrera as it’s newest member. It’s been a long road for the to get here, and one worthy of celebration.
Three series into the season, there is not a ton that jumps out about the 2022 Detroit Tigers just yet. The team is near the bottom in runs scored, which was to be expected given the current lineup, and around league-average in runs allowed, which is what has kept the team near .500. All four
This off-season’s big free-agent deals and trades officially closed the book on the Detroit Tigers rebuild. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still focusing on the farm system. Spencer Torkelson will soon graduate off prospect lists, and Riley Greene will likely follow suit once he returns from his foot surgery. But even with those graduations,…
Whenever the New York Yankees roll into Detroit, I always go back to the game in 2017 where Miguel Cabrera fought Austin Romine, the benches cleared THREE times, and eight different players and coaches were ejected.
Injuries have been coming in mounds for the Detroit Tigers this season. During spring, they were forced to maneuver around injuries to Andrew Chafin, Kyle Funkhouser, Jose Cisnero, and Riley Greene. Now, they find themselves with another pile of injuries to deal with between Javier Baez, Casey Mize, and Matt Manning.
The Detroit Tigers were unable to keep up their winning ways on Saturday afternoon, taking a 3-1 loss against the Kansas City Royals on the road as the injury bug continues to rear its ugly head. After losing Casey Mize to injury on Friday, the Motor City Kitties got another scare when Matt Manning was
Injuries are, of course, a part of baseball like any sport. Particularly early in the year, pitcher injuries inevitably re-shape bullpens and starting rotations even before Opening Day. The Detroit Tigers have had more than their share already, and it’s going to be tough to keep around the .500 mark for the next few weeks
Well, they say bad news comes in threes. Yesterday was the gut punch news of Casey Mize landing on the IL with what was revealed today to be a strain in his elbow ligament. This was followed by the 10-day IL placement of Javier Báez before the game. And during today’s game, which the Tigers
Saturday afternoon, the Tigers announced that shortstop Javier Báez has been placed on the 10-day injured list because of soreness in his right thumb. A corresponding roster move has yet to be announced. The move is retroactive to April 13. The decision to move Báez to the injured list isn’t much of a surprise. He’s
The Detroit Tigers took the second of a four-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night, 2-1, with rookie Spencer Torkelson playing the role of Moses delivering the Motor City Kitties to the promised land with a two-run home run in the seventh inning. Tarik Skubal looked sharp on the mound, mixing
Look, we’re going to see the Royals a whole bunch this season, so I’m not going to drag this out. It was a game. The Tigers played the Royals. Obviously, it was wonderful to see everyone wearing number 42, and a cool thing where the number was Dodger blue for all uniforms. Tarik Skubal looked
The news is not good. While fans spent much of the day wondering when Javier Báez and Robbie Grossman would return to action, baseball had something else brewing. The Detroit Tigers placed starter Casey Mize on the 10-day injured list Friday evening with a right elbow sprain. Mize put together a decent outing against the
Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Parker Meadows has always been tremendously talented. He was a strapping 6-foot-5, 205-pound outfielder coming out of his Georgia high school, earning future above-average or better grades for his arm, defense, raw power, and speed.
Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera, after a three-hit performance Thursday night, finds himself with 2,994 career hits and inching closer to the magic 3,000 hit milestone, which would tie him with Roberto Clemente for 32nd on the all-time list and just seven away from fellow Tiger legend Al Kaline.
The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game road series against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night with a 4-2 win. Casey Mize showed improvement over his first performance of the season last weekend against the Chicago White Sox, ultimately winning the war against future Hall of Famer Zach Greinke, while Miguel Cabrera drew closer
There’s nothing quite like experiencing a game in person. You can watch hundreds of games on TV or listen to them on the radio, but being in the stands or behind home plate for an actual in-person experience is its own kind of magic. This past week as the new season unfolded we saw comeback
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 6 (box) Joey Wentz was in three true outcomes mode in his second start of the season, but the offense poured it on late for a comeback victory. Jamie Westbrook tied things up with a solo shot to lead off the ninth, and the Cubs bullpen came unglued, wild
I have a very clear memory of recapping a game last season between the Tigers and the Astros that featured a matchup between Casey Mize and Zack Greinke. In that game I also remember losing my mind watching Greinke pitch a 30-ish mph eephus pitch. Anyway, it was delightful and this is a very roundabout
As a part of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, the player’s association and the league agreed to expand MLB active rosters from 26 to 28 players to allow their pitchers to stretch out and account for any injuries that might take place due to the shortened spring training. For the Detroit Tigers, though, it will…
