Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila showed up in the press box Wednesday morning for what was described as an impromptu chat with reporters, his first such talk since the end of spring training. Hours later, the Tigers completed a four-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park. Now the team hits the road against three
Detroit — The crowd was modest, per usual these days. But it also was quite into it, not per usual. Miguel Cabrera had a two-out single in the fifth inning, drawing a roar much louder than you’d expect from a crowd of 17,829, and Kody Clemens later homered as the Tigers beat the Cleveland Guardians, 8-2,

The Detroit Tigers received some Miggy magic at an opportune time. Miguel Cabrera squared up a hanging slider from Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber with two on and two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning Wednesday, lacing a single to right, to score Tucker Barnhart and Javier Báez, giving the Tigers a three-run
DETROIT, Michigan — The finale of a four-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and the Detroit Tigers saw the Michiganders go for the four-game home sweep on a cool, cloudy afternoon. And, what do you know, they managed to pull it off with an 8-2 win powered by some timely hitting with runners on base.
You could be forgiven for forgetting that long-time Boston Red Sox’s left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez is even a member of the Detroit Tigers now. The 29-year-old signed a five-year, $77 million contract back in November prior to the lockout, threw eight poor starts in April and May, and left in the first inning of the final
MLB updated its prospect rankings and a familiar face is now at the top. Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene, who was rated the No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline when he was called up to the majors on June 18, is now rated the top prospect in all of baseball. Former top prospect Adley Rutschman, the 2019 top pick, has
Detroit — Last week, while introducing his new Red Wings coach, Tigers CEO Christopher Ilitch raised some eyebrows — and maybe certain fingers, too, at least from the long-past-patient fans — when he said he was “very pleased” with his baseball team’s progress, despite an abysmal record and woeful offense it what was supposed to be a possibly

Detroit — The trade was overwhelmingly applauded at the time. At least from the fans’ perspective, it’s quite the opposite now — the Tigers’ spring swap, which landed Detroit a slugger in Austin Meadows and sent an unproven prospect to Tampa Bay in Isaac Paredes. Paredes has been on absolute tear in Tampa Bay, with 13 homers and
Right-handed reliever Will Vest arrived in Omaha, Nebraska, around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, ready to join Triple-A Toledo. Once the plane landed, he reconnected to his cellular network and a few text messages appeared. The Detroit Tigers needed Vest at Comerica Park. “When we called him, he was still on the plane,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “We couldn’t divert the
Riley Greene sat in front of his locker in the Detroit Tigers clubhouse on Tuesday afternoon, looking so comfortable. Like he belongs. Just two weeks into his major league career, he had the presence of a veteran. “What has surprised you the most about being here?” I asked him. “I don’t really know to be honest,” he said.

Detroit — Suppose it was Wily Peralta’s turn. The Tigers on Wednesday announced that Peralta was latest pitcher heading to the injured list, after suffering a left hamstring strain in Tuesday’s 11-4 win over the Cleveland Guardians at Comerica Park. It’s the first time on the IL this year for Peralta, 33, shocking given all the
The Detroit Tigers will look to break out the brooms on Wednesday afternoon as they go for the sweep against the Cleveland Guardians. The Guards will deploy Shane Bieber to stop the skid while the Tigers will have Michael Pineda making his second start since missing time with a broken finger. After jumping to within
Tyler Alexander was speaking in the Detroit Tigers’ clubhouse after perhaps his best relief appearance of 2022. He inherited a bases-loaded situation, got out of it and proceeded to throw 3⅓ scoreless innings, Monday while the offense scored four unanswered runs in a 5-3 win over the Guardians. Standing in front of his locker, he shared what’s
DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera stepped to the plate with two on and two outs in the second inning Tuesday night against Guardians starter Cal Quantrill and did his trademark stare back to the field.
