By TC Zencka | August 21, 2021 at 10:16am CDT The Tigers have reinstated Derek Hill from the 10-day injured list. To make room on the roster, Renato Nunez was designated for assignment, per the team.

But as he closed the gap with each stride on Blue Jays rookie Kevin Smith’s drive in left-center field, he had a moment of decision. It was Hill’s second game back from the full-speed collision with Akil Baddoo
Yesterday, Detroit Tigers fans saw history being made as Miguel Cabrera hit his 500th home run off lefty Steve Matz. The home run tied the game at 1, and Detroit would later take the series win to improve to 10-9 in August.

We knew it was coming — literally, we knew here in the Newsletter-Cave before we saw it, thanks to a quick-messaging Detroit Tigers beat writer whose in-person view was 30 seconds or so ahead of the Bally Sports Detroit feed — and yet, still, it was a surprise. After eight homer-free games from Miguel Cabrera,
Job promotion happens for a reason, which is why a bunch of Tigers farmhands at Double-A Erie a week ago were bumped to Triple-A Toledo, a doorstep from Comerica Park. Three of them are doing just fine in their first week: outfielder Riley Greene, first baseman Spencer Torkelson, and shortstop Ryan Kreidler. They happen to
Detroit Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera became the 28th player in MLB history to hit 500 home runs Sunday at Rogers Centre in Toronto, taking a changeup from left-handed starter Steven Matz the opposite way to right-center field. Tigers director of player relations and authentics Jordan Field has been preparing for the historic moment since Aug. 11
With the Tigers traveling today and no games to distract us, that leaves plenty of time for us to rewatch clips of the big 500th home run, especially ones that involve Dan Dickerson making the call. As you can see it’s also Miggy Monday over here at BYB and we’re doing all-Cabrera features for the
You know it’s not a big Tigers milestone if there’s not a BreakingT shirt to celebrate it, and we couldn’t resist sharing this one with you to commemorate Miguel Cabrera’s big home run. What’s great about this design is that it represents so much of Cabrera’s whole career, not just his home runs, but his

What a weekend! There’s so much to be said and to appreciate about Miguel Cabrera hitting his 500th home run, and getting that much closer to his all-but-certain Hall of Fame entry. As Tigers fans, it feels joyous getting to celebrate such an enormous feat in what already feels like a turning point season for
Not bad, Ryan Kreidler. The Tigers promote you to Triple A following a three-month stretch at Double-A Erie and you act, in your first six games at Toledo, as if you’re attacking Single-A pitching: Six games, 20 at-bats, 11 hits, two doubles, .550 batting average, three walks as part of 23 plate-appearances, good for a .650 on-base percentage, .609 slugging average, and 1.559 OPS. And, take another
It happened. After what felt like an eternity sitting at 499, Miguel Cabrera hit number 500 on Sunday in a wild game that the Tigers would take in extra innings to clinch a series win in Toronto. Monday is yet another off day before the team takes on the Cardinals in a short two game
When Miguel Cabrera went deep for his 500th career home run Sunday afternoon in Toronto, it was an epic achievement, and one that can be difficult to fully fathom. First, there’s the sheer exclusiveness of the club: Even with baseball’s offensive boom in the 21st century, Cabrera was still only the 28th player with 500

Toledo Mud Hens 9, Indianapolis Indians 8 (box) After building a nice early lead, the Mud Hens’ bullpen imploded to let Indy back in the game, but they eventually pulled it out with late innings’ heroics. As a result they took the series four games to two, and now hold a 53-42 record. The Hens
Miguel Garcia gripped his hands on the steering wheel of a rental SUV. He had just picked up Al Avila from the airport in Caracas, Venezuela. They were headed to the La Pedrera neighborhood in Maracay, where a right-handed teenager named Miguel Cabrera lived. For 90 minutes, Avila wouldn’t stop talking. “OK, let’s see this
