Long before the Tigers took the field for batting practice last homestand, Willi Castro was often on his knees in foul territory in front of Detroit’s dugout. Infield coach Ramon Santiago, a former Tigers infielder, was about 30 feet away with a fungo bat and a bucket of baseballs, peppering Castro with grounders. One ball
St. Petersburg, Fla. — A season like the one Willi Castro has endured could ruin a player. Going from getting Rookie of the Year votes in 2020 and winning the regular shortstop job to losing the shortstop job; moving to second base and losing the regular second base job, to taking on a utility role, even
Heading into the season, the Detroit Tigers Triple-A affiliate, the Toledo Mud Hens were a veteran ballclub that had the potential to make noise under the new alignment in Triple-A.

This weekend’s four-game road series between the Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays got off to a clunky start on Thursday night when the visitors fell to the hometown boys, 5-2, in a game that the good guys got beat by a superior bullpen. The good news is that the Tigers get three more tries

Leiter spun seven innings of one-run ball, absolutely dominating an admittedly poor Clippers’ lineup with 11 strikeouts. Isaac Paredes started the scoring for the second straight
The Milwaukee Brewers put runners on second and third base with two outs in the second inning of Wednesday’s two-game series finale at Comerica Park, thanks to Lorenzo Cain’s RBI double for a 1-0 lead. Once Manny Pina walked, the bases were loaded for the National League Central leaders. Detroit Tigers starter Matt Manning had
St. Petersburgh, Fla. — What’s amazing about the underhand pitch Tyler Alexander flipped over the hitter-catcher-umpire all the way to the backstop in the fifth inning Thursday was that there was an actual purpose to it. To set the scene, Rays Manuel Margot asked for — and was given — a timeout by home plate umpire
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch walked out to the mound and removed left-handed starter Tyler Alexander with two outs in the sixth inning.

St. Petersburg, Fla. — The Tigers beat up the vaunted Rays bullpen in Detroit over the weekend, scoring 15 runs in three games.

LANSING, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps couldn’t find their offense when it mattered most as part of an 8-1 loss to the Lansing Lugnuts in front of 6,855 fans at Jackson Field on Thursday night. The Whitecaps struggled with runners in scoring position, going just 1-for-9 at the plate. Lansing plated six of their

The last time Tyler Alexander faced the Rays, on Friday at Comerica Park, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch pulled his left-handed starter just before he could get a third matchup against Tigers nemesis Nelson Cruz. As effective as Alexander had been, there was no way Hinch was giving Cruz a third at-bat against a left-hander. As
The Tampa Bay Rays’ typically deep, talented bullpen was too much for the Tigers’ offense in this one. A bit of sloppy defense and no batted ball luck doomed Detroit to a 5-2 loss in the first of four from Tropicana Park. Tyler Alexander put together a very Tyler Alexander outing in this one. For
