Spirits among Detroit Tigers’ faithful were low entering Wednesday afternoon’s series finale against the Texas Rangers. Not only had the Texas offense whooped Detroit’s pitching two days in a row. Not only did the team just lose its best pitcher and best position player for indefinite periods less than 24 hours apart. But Joey Wentz,
There’s life for the Detroit Tigers after Riley Greene, after all. On the same day that the second-year outfielder went on the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture in his left leg, his replacement in center field, Jake Marisnick, made a big catch to open the game and delivered an RBI single in the
Detroit — As manager AJ Hinch said Wednesday morning after announcing that Riley Greene was going on the injured list because of a stress fracture in his left fibula, the baseball schedule doesn’t allow for wallowing or self-pity. The games just keep coming. He said the players had a choice — they could fold or

Hinch announced to the team’s beat this morning (link via Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press). He’ll step into the vacated rotation spot of lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, who’s on the

The timetable for Greene’s return to the Tigers
DETROIT — For the second time in 15 months, the Tigers have lost promising young outfielder Riley Greene to a freak injury. This time, they lose him just as he was emerging as the key cog in the Tigers’ resurgence in the American League Central. What looked initially like a minor injury on Tuesday night
Detroit — You wonder how much misfortune a baseball team can take in a 24-hour span. The Tigers are providing a case study. Tuesday the club announced that their best starting pitcher, lefty Eduardo Rodriguez, was going to be lost for an extended period of time because of a rupture in the A4 pulley in
10:00am: The Tigers have formally announced Greene’s placement on the injured list and the selection of Marisnick’s contract. In order to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Marisnick, Detroit transferred righty Trey Wingenter from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. Wingenter has already missed five weeks due to tendinitis in
Go ahead. Take a peek at the baseball standings and let yourself dream. It’s OK. I promise. The Detroit Tigers aren’t too far off the American League Central Division lead. So maybe if they keep it going, maybe if they catch a few breaks, maybe if the pitching gets better and they find more power,
On Wednesday morning, the Detroit Tigers announced that outfielder Riley Greene has been moved to the 10-day injured list with a stress fracture of his left fibula.

Detroit — If you were watching the Tigers Tuesday night and were surprised that manager AJ Hinch moved Zack Short into center field in the fourth inning and kept true outfielder Akil Baddoo on the bench — well, you haven’t been paying attention. Since the start of spring training, Hinch and team president Scott Harris
The Detroit Tigers, desperate for starting pitching, turned to prospect Reese Olson in Triple-A Toledo to fill a void in the rotation. Olson, a right-hander, has been promoted to the Tigers to replace injured ace Eduardo Rodriguez, who is on the injured list with a ruptured pulley of his left index finger. The 23-year-old is
Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo didn’t miss a mistake from Chicago White Sox right-hander Dylan Cease, who finished second in American League Cy Young voting last season, in the third inning of Sunday’s 6-5 win. He punished an up-and-in fastball, which was supposed to be located on the outside part of the plate, for a
Erie SeaWolves 11, Richmond Flying Squirrels 1 (box) I’m still unsure what happened to the Erie SeaWolves pitching staff this season, but it remains a hot mess down there even when a top prospect starter has a good game. Wilmer Flores tossed five innings of one-run ball with only a solo home run as the
The Detroit Tigers have done a fantastic job of exceeding expectations as the month of May wanes, leading into the dog days of summer. As of Monday afternoon, the Motor City Kitties were just two games under the .500 mark and a pair behind the American League Central-leading Minnesota Twins, who sit perched atop the
Enough already. Just make it stop. The Detroit Tigers were hit with a series of painful blows on Tuesday, as two outfielders and a pitcher went down with injuries — all of which added up to a downright awful day. Eduardo Rodriguez, the Tigers’ best starting pitcher this season, was placed on the 15-day injured
