Wherever Colt Keith goes, he mashes. And if anyone needed more proof of that, look no further than his first game with Triple-A Toledo. Just two pitches into his first at-bat after being promoted from Double-A Erie, MLB’s No. 42 prospect clobbered a 425-foot homer to straightaway center. He went on to reach base four
Arlington, Texas — Only two more days left in this misbegotten month for the Tigers. It started with crippling injuries to their best hitter (Riley Greene) and best pitcher (Eduardo Rodriguez), which triggered a slog of nine straight losses. The injuries have continued to pile up and so have the losses, even with a stretch
The Toledo Mud Hens lost to the Columbus Clippers 11-10 in 10 innings on Wednesday night. It was the first game of the second half of the season, and three players made their Mud Hens debuts (Colt Keith, Nick Maton, and Sean Guenther). Tarik Skubal started the game for Toledo. The Toledo Mud Hens lost
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps got off to a hot start but couldn’t capitalize on numerous run-scoring opportunities or get timely outs as the Dayton Dragons rallied late in a 9-6 extra-innings defeat in front of 4,995 fans Wednesday night at LMCU Ballpark. The Whitecaps scored four COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The
We hear from A.J. Hinch after the Tigers fall 10-2 to the Rangers.
Not all ejections are created equally. Miguel Cabrera was kicked out of the Detroit Tigers‘ game on Wednesday with the Texas Rangers after appearing to disagree with a call made by first base umpire Ben May. The exchange happened in the fifth inning as the Tigers were trailing the Rangers, 6-0. On a low pitch,
ARLINGTON, Texas — The Detroit Tigers were in trouble from the first pitch in the bottom of the first inning. A double from Marcus Semien, who cranked Joey Wentz’s first-pitch fastball to left field, led to a four-run inning for the Texas Rangers, sending 10 batters to the plate. Meanwhile, the Tigers registered five hits without

This was one to forget. Joey Wentz got absolutely mauled in the first inning, and while Dane Dunning pitched pretty well, this might be the first game all year where the offense just seemed to give up. The at-bats were not very competitive once they were down. We had errors on Zack Short and Javier
Arlington, Texas — It was mentioned to manager AJ Hinch that the only bullpen in baseball that’s been used more than his in June was the San Francisco Giants’ bullpen. “Can I catch them today?” he said. He was kidding. We think. The reality is, partly as a strategy and mostly as a necessity, the
The best thing about the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game is getting to see all of that talent, all of these future stars, on the field at one time. We use the “kid in a candy store” metaphor often because it’s so apt. Before you see them all on Saturday, July 8, at 7 p.m. ET
ARLINGTON, Texas — Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 draft, completed a 15-pitch bullpen before Wednesday’s game against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. All 15 pitches were fastballs. “It feels good,” Mize said. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was fired up after the brief outing. “That was incredible,”

Colt Keith has wasted little time in making an impact at Triple-A Toledo. Keith, who has zoomed up prospect rankings this season, homered in his first at-bat for the Mud Hens in Wednesday’s game against Columbus at Huntington Park. The home run to right-center field pulled the Mud Hens within 2-1 in the top of
Arlington, Texas – Well, small blessing, at least Tigers lefty starter Matthew Boyd didn’t have to travel far to have the surgery. Boyd underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday morning with Dallas-based surgeon Dr. Keith Meister. He is expected to return to Detroit in a couple of weeks and begin the 12- to 18-month rehabilitation process.
ARLINGTON, Texas — Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning, the No. 9 overall pick in the 2016 draft, has a 4.73 ERA with a 16.1% strikeout rate across 33 starts in parts of three MLB seasons. Too many earned runs, not enough strikeouts and too many injuries. The 25-year-old was shut down before he could get settled

Arlington, Texas — Just having him back on the mound healthy provided a boost for the Tigers’ injury-wracked starting rotation Tuesday night. To get 5.2 strong innings out of him, well, welcome back Matt Manning. “Glad to have him back,” manager AJ Hinch said. “Lot of good and a lot for him to build on,
ARLINGTON — Matt Manning dazzled in his gutsy outing against the hard-hitting Rangers, but the bullpen faltered late in the Tigers’ 8-3 loss at Globe Life Field. Manning, 25, had not pitched in the Majors since April as he recovered from a fracture in his right foot, but looked sharp in his return to big
