For the struggling Detroit Tigers, the trend of injuries to pitchers and poor offense continued Sunday.

MIDLAND, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps used a career-best performance from an unlikely source, as catcher Chase Barbary sparked a five-run seventh inning as part of a 10-5, come-from-behind victory over the Great Lakes Loons on Sunday in front of 2,746 fans at Dow Diamond. Barbary, who had only MIDLAND, MI – The West
The finale of an abbreviated two-game weekend series between the Twins and Tigers in Detroit saw the Tigers drop a 9-1 decision on a muggy Sunday afternoon. Honestly, you could’ve had a better afternoon cleaning out your garage… which reminds me, I really need to clean out my garage. Rony García got the nod for
Detroit — There’s been a lot of organizational head-scratching over the play of third baseman Jeimer Candelario this season, including in the manager’s office. “I’m not sure which is more surprising,” manager AJ Hinch said Sunday morning. “The defensive struggles? It’s always been something he’s worked really hard at and hasn’t found a comfort zone, at
Detroit Tigers right-hander Rony García waved his arms at the dugout following the 62nd pitch of his first start since June 29. He couldn’t throw another pitch. Athletic trainer Doug Teter emerged on the field with two outs in the third inning. Moments later, García left Sunday’s game with right shoulder soreness. The 24-year-old allowed three runs on
A player who for nearly four months has been working for the Tigers, accepting big-league baseball’s bliss and its bruises, suddenly returns to Triple A. It is a blow. He has essentially been told that, for all his talents, he failed. He must be further schooled. In the minors. Lloyd McClendon, who manages the Toledo
The Detroit Tigers have been picking up the pieces all season. The offense is primarily responsible for the 38-57 record, but the starting rotation has been in shambles throughout the year due to injuries. Right-hander Michael Pineda suffered the latest injury, as his elbow tightened up and forced his exit from Saturday’s loss to the

The Tigers announced a number of roster moves this morning.

The Detroit Tigers could not get things going at home against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday in the opener of a short two-game weekend set as Michael Pineda got shelled again and the offense simply could not keep up with the surging Twinkies, taking an 8-4 loss. The bludgeoning came just after the worst outing
As the Tigers draft wrapped up, the headliners were, of course, the Tigers’ top two picks, Jace Jung and Peyton Graham. Those players represent only a fraction of the team’s overall draft haul, all of whom were taken from college programs, and as they filter into pro ball, some should make it to the High-A
DETROIT — Akil Baddoo made the leaping grab look almost effortless, his jump and reach over Comerica Park’s left-field fence smooth and easy in taking a home run away from Carlos Correa on Saturday. Baddoo’s reaction to the defensive gem was equally subdued. Part of that stemmed from the three seventh-inning runs the Twins had

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Pineda left Saturday’s start with right tricep tightness. The 33-year-old completed three innings on 55 pitches against the Minnesota Twins, but while the Tigers were batting in the bottom of the third, left-handed reliever Tyler Alexander began warming up in the bullpen.

Detroit — The Tigers drew the third-largest crowd of the season to Comerica Park Saturday night, 34,205, and treated it to some pretty bad baseball. The Minnesota Twins took advantage of a batch of shaky defensive plays late in the game, scoring six straight runs (only two were earned) to beat the Tigers 8-4. “I
