Detroit — Before his first at-bat of the game, Tigers’ leadoff hitter Riley Greene usually has a brief consult with manager AJ Hinch. “I will say, ‘Should I take or swing?’ And he’ll say, ‘Go ahead and swing it,'” Greene said. “Today I didn’t talk to him. I just decided I was going to do
No one sells him short. No one makes assumptions. All because Dane Myers is the Tigers farm-hand story that with time gets better and better. Part one: Myers is a pitcher at Rice University, good enough in 2017 to win a sixth-round draft stab by the Tigers. Part two: The pitching dream, by 2019, isn’t
DETROIT — The seats over Comerica Park’s out-of-town scoreboard in right-center field have some of the best views in the ballpark, giving fans an appreciation of the expansive outfield from 11+ feet up. What the seats don’t normally provide are home runs. Riley Greene has played enough games already to appreciate how far that is.

Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop turned the corner near Miguel Cabrera’s locker and rolled into the clubhouse on a medical scooter supporting his sprained right ankle. He is wearing a boot on his right foot. The 30-year-old injured his ankle in Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels at Comerica Park. Schoop tried to
On Sunday’s first pitch from Shohei Ohtani, Detroit Tigers rookie Riley Greene smoked a fastball well over the wall in right-center field for a solo home run. The ball traveled 448 feet, marking the longest home run Ohtani has allowed in the big leagues. Just like that, the Tigers controlled an early lead. “It’s just another

Riley Greene wasted no time vs. the Angels, hitting the first pitch he saw from Shohei Ohtani to deep center field. The 448-ft homer is the Tigers’ longest leadoff HR tracked by Statcast (since 2015). It’s also the longest home run Shohei Ohtani has allowed in MLB, surpassing a 430-ft J.P. Crawford homer.
According to popular Tigers fan-lore, the Jackson Jobe thing just wasn’t working out. Not ideally. His stuff allegedly was “backing up.” Competition in professional baseball was unmasking an overhyped pitching prodigy who last year exploited prep kids from Oklahoma. Admit your mistake, Tigers, a sizable chuck of Detroit’s audience implored. Acknowledge that you blew it
Those who tuned into the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels game on Sunday expecting the usual from living video game character Shohei Ohtani didn’t quite get what they expected in a 4-0 Tigers win. Ohtani didn’t dazzle early on. In fact, he looked uncomfortable on the mound and at the plate for whatever reason.
John Wockenfuss, the Detroit Tigers player who could field just about any position and had a batting stance like nobody else, died Friday. He was 73. Wockenfuss, heralded as one of Delaware’s most accomplished athletes of all time, spent parts of 10 seasons with the Tigers and worked his way up from little-used backup catcher to

Detroit — It wasn’t as if Robbie Grossman shined a light on an organizational issue the Tigers were blind to. They’ve known that they lag behind other organizations in some aspects of player development, which is why over the last three-plus years they’ve invested millions of dollars into sports science and technology. Clearly, as was
The Detroit Tigers evened up their weekend series with the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday afternoon with a clutch 4-3 win at home thanks to a quality start from Tyler Alexander and some timely hitting by the good guys. The victory was a great bounce back from the 1-0 shutout loss they took the night
In March, when the MLB owners’ lockout ended and the season schedule was confirmed, I started looking forward to the Detroit Tigers’ series this weekend with the Angels — this was the weekend I knew I might see a unicorn at Comerica Park. Unicorns, of course, are rare in real life. But they’re even rarer
The Detroit Tigers broke me. I thought they were going to have a solid season. I’m not talking about getting to the World Series or even the playoffs. But I was convinced they would play meaningful games late in the season. All of the additions seemed to plug the major holes. I was in favor of signing Javier

COLUMBUS, Ohio – After the Toledo Mud Hens fell in game four of the series, they would look to get back in the win column over the Columbus Clippers. With last night’s loss being the only one of the series, the Mud Hens were looking to clinch their first series COLUMBUS, Ohio – After the
