While players continue to move up and down Draft boards, and MLB Pipeline expands its 2023 Draft rankings to 200 names, there appears to be one certainty as etched in stone as anything Draft-related can be: There’s a clear top five in this class.

The Tigers relief pitcher is proving to be one of the game’s best.
DETROIT — The Tigers have a challenge on their hands battling the AL West-leading Rangers this series. But they had their chances to give some of that pressure back. One day after Eric Haase won Sunday’s game for Detroit with a 10th-inning walk-off sacrifice fly, he stepped to the plate on Monday afternoon against Nathan

Detroit — Matt Manning, on the injured list with a broken bone in his foot, will throw his second, full bullpen session on Tuesday and he hopes that leads to a live session against hitters next week. “Yeah, I’m going to go on the road, so maybe I’ll throw one more bullpen and then a
Detroit — As Matthew Boyd said afterward, hindsight is 20-20 and it’s certainly easier to second-guess than it is to first-guess. But there was no ducking the bottom-line Monday after the Tigers were beaten by the scorching-hot Texas Rangers, 5-0, in the first of three at Comerica Park. “I threw the pitch I wanted,” he

Being commissioner has its conveniences in professional sports, especially in baseball, no matter how inconvenient The Commish’s decisions and whims might be. Consider the MLB Draft, which this year runs July 9-11. Rob Manfred decided three years ago that All-Star Week, well into July, would be a jim-dandy time to showcase all those blue-chip college
The Detroit Tigers had their chance — bases loaded, no outs — in the second inning against Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi, one of the best pitchers in the month of May. But the Tigers stranded the runners and lost to the Rangers, 5-0, in Monday’s series opener at Comerica Park. Eovaldi walked a season-high three
Matthew Boyd vs. Nathan Eovaldi wasn’t a particularly encouraging matchup. The former entered Monday’s Memorial Day contest with an ERA approaching 6.00. If you extrapolate his last five starts, it’s nearly 7.00. Meanwhile, Eovaldi’s pitched to a 2.60 ERA and an even lower FIP in his first 10 starts with the Texas Rangers. It also

When Wednesday comes around, Detroit Tigers left-hander Joey Wentz — who has a 7.80 ERA in 10 starts this season — is expected to take the mound in the first inning against the Texas Rangers at Comerica Park. He knows he’s struggling badly. But he’s trying to stay positive. “It’s not going to do me

It’s no surprise to find the Oakland Athletics at the bottom of the MLB Power Rankings based on winning percentage against winning ball clubs. (Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty Images) Run differential is one way to differentiate the frauds from the teams with something serious to play for. In this week’s MLB Power Rankings, we look…
Detroit — Robbie Grossman enjoyed his time with the Tigers. He had a very productive season here in 2021, posting career-bests in homers (23), RBIs (67) and walks (98). He was a quiet, by-example leader in the clubhouse. He liked living in Birmingham and the comfortable commute to the ballpark. He did not, however, love
It might come to the surprise of many that the Detroit Tigers currently sit just one game under the .500 mark as well as a game behind the American League Central division-leading Minnesota Twins as the month of May draws to a close. Believe it or not, the Motor City Kitties’ record through 51 is
It feels too early to mention this word. It probably is too early. But the Detroit Tigers are playing a competitive brand of baseball as the end of May approaches, and in a weak American League Central, an opportunity remains for the Tigers to reach the postseason for the first time since 2014. There’s that
Top of the eighth inning. The Detroit Tigers down 1 run. Jake Burger up for the Chicago White Sox, and he crushes the pitch. Exit velocity: 107.1 mph. Projected distance: 418 feet, which, in theory, should be a homer in the revamped Comerica Park. But the Tigers have a center fielder named Riley Greene. A
