The latest on coronavirus-related situations around baseball… The Tigers placed right-hander Joe Jimenez on the COVID-related injury list yesterday due to a positive test. First base coach George Lombard also tested positive, while pitching coach Chris Fetter, quality control coach Josh Paul and bullpen catcher Jeremy Carroll are away from the team due to contact
On a March day in 1981, at a baseball clubhouse in Sun City, Arizona, a young sports writer approached a player he needed to speak with for a Detroit News story. Moreover, this was a man the scribe wanted to talk with because he knew from all testimony that Ted Simmons was a definitively interesting
We don’t often consider extensions to Detroit Tigers players. Nick Castellanos was the last Tiger who really deserved serious consideration, but these are different times for the organization, with several different decision-makers holding the keys. And there are very good reasons why the Tigers may consider trying to convince third baseman Jeimer Candelario to sign
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers rookie starting pitchers Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal understand the bigger picture of the organization’s plan. The Tigers aren’t in postseason contention with a 65-74 record, but they want to prepare their young pitchers for October by getting them acclimated to a 162-game season. Reaching the playoffs could happen in 2022, considering this
Perfection was not the goal for Casey Mize on Sunday in Cincinnati. The Detroit Tigers’ rookie righty went into the game knowing he had nine outs to get, per the plan. And get them he did, retiring the nine Reds he faced in order — no hits, no walks, no runs allowed over three innings

We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after his Tigers drop a 6-3 decision to the Pirates on Monday. #Leinenkugels
Pittsburgh — It was a rough Labor Day for the Tigers. In the morning they learned that pitcher Joe Jimenez and bench coach George Lombard tested positive for COVID-19 and three other coaches would have to leave for quarantining because of contact tracing. “It’s just something you’ve got to deal with,” shortstop Niko Goodrum said.
The Tigers were down early, roared back, and then watched the game slip away in a rough seventh inning as the Pirates took game one by a score of 6-3 on Monday. Tarik Skubal got the start, but as with Casey Mize, these are going to be short outings the rest of the way as
PITTSBURGH — Detroit Tigers reliever Joe Jimenez and bench coach George Lombard tested positive for COVID-19. Both are vaccinated and experienced symptoms. The Tigers will also be without pitching coach Chris Fetter, quality control coach Josh Paul and bullpen catcher Jeremy Carroll because of contact-tracing. The organization received the results of its latest batch of
PITTSBURGH — Once again, Detroit Tigers left-hander Tarik Skubal struggled in the first inning. He bounced back for perfect second and third innings before manager AJ Hinch removed him from the game. Through 25 starts this season, the 24-year-old has a 6.48 ERA in the first frame but often improves for the rest of his outing. This time,
PITTSBURGH — The velocity with which Tarik Skubal fired his glove off the dugout wall might have rivaled his hardest fastball during the 28-pitch opening inning that preceded his rare flash of anger Monday afternoon at PNC Park. It was an emotion that continued in the Tigers’ 6-3 loss to the Pirates. This was a
What was it like, Todd Jones was asked last week, pitching to a someday-Hall of Famer? What was it like during their 14 seasons of common big-league years, eight of which Jones spent with the Tigers, squaring off against a Yankees shortstop and right-handed swinger named Derek Jeter? Jones preferred to respond in an email. There

PITTSBURGH — The Tigers, the first team to reach MLB’s threshold to be considered fully vaccinated against COVID-19 back in April, have had their first situation since then. Reliever Joe Jiménez and bench coach George Lombard tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday morning, manager A.J. Hinch announced. Both Jiménez and Lombard are fully vaccinated. Both
Pittsburgh — COVID-19 has jumped up and bit the Tigers. Reliever Joe Jimenez and bench coach George Lombard both tested positive for the virus, even though both have been vaccinated. Both felt symptoms of the virus Sunday night. Additionally, pitching coach Chris Fetter, quality control coach Josh Paul and bullpen catcher Jeremy Carroll will be away
The Erie SeaWolves are the Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, and play at the beautifully updated UPMC Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. UPMC Park has been home to the Erie SeaWolves since 1995. The ballpark is more than just a great place to watch high-quality, professional baseball. The home of the SeaWolves is a
Toledo Mud Hens 11, Omaha Storm Chasers 10 (box) It was a rough Sunday for Hens’ pitching, but the offense came through with seven home runs to overpower the Storm Chasers. Leading the way were Riley Greene and Kody Clemens, who each homered twice. Spencer Torkelson got in on the action, as did Josh Lester
As the Detroit Tigers continue their road trip across the NL Central with a three-game series starting in Pittsburgh this afternoon, it does seem rather fitting that Tarik Skubal would take the mound on Labor Day.
