Wednesday’s news of Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers going under the knife for Tommy John Surgery was disheartening to be sure but probably not shocking. Rogers had been out for some time with an arm ailment and not much positive news was leaking out.
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch and starting pitcher Matthew Boyd stood in left-center field last week at Comerica Park. They were watching utility player Harold Castro crush home runs in batting practice. “This guy can hit. He keeps the ball in the air,” Hinch said to Boyd. “But you watch. Tonight, he’s going to

On Monday, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his 40th home run, the first of what will presumably be many seasons in which he reaches that mark. (His previous high? 15. To be fair, he is 22 years old.) Forty is a big number, and harder to reach than you might think. Cal Ripken Jr. never did
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps enjoyed a strong showing from their pitching staff in a 5-1 bounce-back victory over the Great Lakes Loons Wednesday night at LMCU Ballpark. ‘Caps starter Jack O’Loughlin picked up his first win as a Whitecap, going five innings while allowing just one run and striking out four
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning threw a slider to Colin Moran with two outs in the third inning.

Pittsburgh — Earlier in the day Wednesday, Tigers players were in the clubhouse watching Derek Jeter’s Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

PITTSBURGH — Miguel Cabrera is officially chasing 3,000 career hits in 2021.

Tigers catcher Jake Rogers underwent Tommy John surgery and will miss the remainder of this season, manager A.J. Hinch announced to reporters (Twitter link via Jason Beck of MLB.com).

PITTSBURGH — Miguel Cabrera used to try to hit batting practice homers out of PNC Park and into the Allegheny River. That was years ago. The past two nights, he has sprayed hits around the field in a streak never seen in his illustrious career. Cabrera’s 4-for-4 game Wednesday night included three RBI hits, building
Big nights at the plate from Miguel Cabrera and Robbie Grossman powered the Tigers to a win in Pittsburgh, avoiding the series sweep with a 5-1 victory on Wednesday night. Matt Manning got the start in this one, and it was a good one, if abbreviated. After a leadoff single from Ke’Bryan Hayes, Manning got
Despite avoiding the innings restrictions that have bound Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, Tigers rookie starter Matt Manning was pulled early from Wednesday night’s start in Pittsburgh. Manning took a line drive from Pirates third baseman Colin Moran in the third inning and exited the game. The Tigers announced he suffered a contusion on his left knee.
As we conclude the series, we look at his rise in the Big Leagues.
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch was a guest on MLB Network Radio yesterday morning, and when the subject turned to Spencer Torkelson, Hinch said what everyone already suspected: The experiment at third base was cute, and Spencer Torkelson was passable there. But he has now played 21 games in Toledo, and 20 of them have…

A two-year wait seemed worth it Wednesday at Cooperstown, New York, where the sun shined, a breeze blew, a late-summer crowd cheered, and four men were inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, all with eloquent words that perhaps reached their zenith during a stirring address from Southfield native and early Tigers follower, Ted Simmons.
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers reliever Bryan Garcia doesn’t like watching videos to solve his problems. His body needs to feel everything, from the struggles to the successes. Recently, the 26-year-old has been tested with a slew of troubles. After one outing in August, Garcia told Triple-A Toledo pitching coach Doug Bochtler that three or four of his pitches
