The Detroit Tigers have made their first trade, just minutes after their latest loss. After Monday’s loss to the Twins, the Tigers sent outfielder Robbie Grossman to the Atlanta Braves, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. The Tigers received left-handed pitcher Kris Anglin in return. This year’s trade deadline is 6 p.m. Tuesday. HOW IT ALL
With the Twins presently desperate to cling to their tenuous hold on the first-place position in the AL Central, and a pretty dismal pitching staff to keep them there, they turned to Aaron Sanchez to start off the series against the Tigers. And with trade rumors circling around pretty much every half-decent player on the

MINNEAPOLIS — Tigers starter Tarik Skubal, whose name had been gaining mention on the market leading into Tuesday’s Trade Deadline, left his start Monday at Minnesota after five scoreless innings and 77 pitches with what the team announced as left arm fatigue. Skubal, who has emerged as the ace of the Tigers’ rotation this season
Minneapolis — Thank goodness Tarik Skubal and Tyler Alexander are still here, otherwise Matt Manning might’ve thought he walked into the wrong clubhouse Monday. “I know, right?” he said. “I feel like I’m debuting all over again.” Manning, who will make just his third start of season here Tuesday, hasn’t been on a big-league mound
Minneapolis — The Tigers needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster to reinstate reliever Andrew Chafin off the restricted list. Center fielder Derek Hill, the Tigers’ first-round pick in 2014, drew the short straw. He was designated for assignment Monday. “Decisions are going to get harder and harder as guys on the 60-day injured

The Tigers have designated outfielder Derek Hill for assignment, per a club announcement. His spot on the 40-man roster will go to lefty Andrew Chafin, who has been reinstated from the restricted list. Detroit also optioned righty Angel De Jesus to Triple-A Toledo to open an active roster spot for Chafin. There’ll be more moves
In a bit of unexpected news on Monday afternoon the Detroit Tigers designated for assignment their former first-round pick Derek Hill. The DFA came as part of a small series of moves so the Tigers could welcome left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin back from the restricted list — however brief that return may be.
The Detroit Tigers signed left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin last March to be a key contributor to their bullpen for the next two seasons. Chafin chose not to get vaccinated against Covid-19, so he wasn’t with the team last weekend in Toronto, but apart from that he has largely held up his end of the bargain,…
Right-hander Derek Law had an … ummm … inauspicious Detroit Tigers debut Saturday in Toronto. Over a 13-pitch span in the sixth inning, he (in order) hit a batter, committed an error, threw a wild pitch and gave up a homer, turning a 3-1 Tigers lead into a 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays and making franchise
Considering that the MLB trade deadline is now only a day away, this preview should be filled with dramatic tension. Lefty Tarik Skubal making potentially his final start in a Tigers’ uniform.

TORONTO — There was a time, not too long ago, when the Detroit Tigers envisioned a much different approach at the 2022 trade deadline — 6 p.m. Tuesday, less than two hours before they play the Twins in Minnesota. General manager Al Avila expected to add talent at the deadline. So did manager A.J. Hinch. FOR
Detroit — The Tigers are low on chips, ridiculously low. They do have two sizeable ones for Tuesday’s trade deadline, but I’m sorry, GM Al Avila should not be permitted to deal either. Rookie outfielder Riley Greene isn’t going anywhere, obviously. Top pitcher Tarik Skubal is the other big chip and also shouldn’t be going anywhere,
