It’s a single game. And in the six-month grind of a Major League Baseball season, a fraction of the end result. But then math doesn’t account for the human psyche, and to say the Detroit Tigers‘ 3-2 win over the Texas Rangers Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park meant no more than any other win this
In a span of 24 hours, the Detroit Tigers officially lost their two best players — one pitcher and one hitter — to the injured list, and those two players might not return in the near future. Left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, the ace of the pitching staff, suffered a ruptured pulley in his left index finger. Center
As part of last year’s collective bargaining agreement, MLB and the Players Association agreed to a few automatic opt-out dates for some veteran players on minor league contracts.

A Draft requires more than five years before we can make a final judgment as to how well (or poorly) picks played out. But it’s already safe to say that the 2018 Draft hasn’t turned out as expected to this point. The first seven picks — Casey Mize (Tigers), Joey Bart (Giants), Alec Bohm (Phillies),
TACOMA, Wash. — When Mike Ford told his current manager, John Russell, about his 2022 season, Russell had an apt response: “That’s not a season. That’s a career!” That about sums it up. Ford, a heavy-hitting first baseman and designated hitter, is currently a member of the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers.
DETROIT — The first ball Jake Marisnick saw as a Tiger was a 417-foot drive from Rangers leadoff hitter Marcus Semien on Wednesday afternoon. Marisnick chased it to the depths of left-center field, bouncing lightly off the fence after making the catch. “Wasn’t too bad, had a little give to it,” Marisnick said with a
Detroit — We don’t believe in curses, right? I mean, they’re not rooted in science or séance. They don’t explain a series of seemingly unrelated mishaps, and they generally don’t afflict one random city. But, how in the bleeping bleep do we explain this?

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
