Two away. Miguel Cabrera on Tuesday night hit home run No. 498 in the second inning of Detroit’s series-opener against the Boston Red Sox at Comerica Park, driving a fastball from lefty Garrett Richards out of the park to move within striking distance of home run No. 500. Cabrera took ball one, a 94.9 mph fastball before getting
Miguel Cabrera’s march to 500 home runs continued Tuesday night at Comerica Park, where his 498th career homer was an opposite-field drive into the right-field tunnel off Red Sox right-hander Garrett Richards. Cabrera’s 11th home run of the season was also his third in five games this homestand. His last seven homers have been opposite-field
Trevor Thompson and Craig Monroe are joined by Johnny Kane, who is talking about Eric Haase, the first Tiger to win A.L. Rookie of the Month in 11 years. Despite the accomplishment, Haase is not too big to work around his house. #DetroitRoots
As the 2021 season winds down, the Detroit Tigers believe they will need as much pitching as possible. They started to stockpile for the final two months by adding right-handed reliever Nivaldo Rodriguez off waivers Monday from the Houston Astros. He was designated for assignment by the Astros on Saturday. The Tigers had two of their

Detroit — As red flags go, they don’t get much clearer than this. Infielder Isaac Paredes, on a rehab assignment with the Toledo Mud Hens, was clocked at six seconds going from home to first in a game. “Well below what we need,” manager AJ Hinch said. As a result, Paredes, out with a hip injury,
Hamtramck — What a morning it was. Not only was ground ceremoniously broken on a $2.6 million renovation plan for historic Hamtramck Stadium, now appropriately named after Detroit Stars Negro League star Norman “Turkey” Stearnes, but president and CEO Christopher Ilitch gave the firmest indication to date that the Tigers are going to start adding top-shelf
HAMTRAMCK, Mich. — Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch was at historic Hamtramck Stadium on Tuesday morning to celebrate baseball’s history in Detroit as part of a ceremony to begin the renovation of the historic Negro Leagues ballpark. But he was also excited about the future of baseball in Detroit, one that could include the Tigers taking
With just 54 games left in the 2021 season, the Detroit Tigers can already consider it a successful season, certainly the most successful in many years. With three straight months slightly over .500, the slow motion rebuild finally has some real momentum. However, keeping their pace through August is going to be tough. The Tigers
Today was a big day for baseball fans around Detroit, as several prominent Detroit Tigers players and brass were on hand for the announcement of the Hamtramck Stadium being restored. This was the former home of the Negro League Detroit Stars, and the historic stadium played host to the Stars’ own Turkey Stearnes, as well…

Detroit Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch stood behind a lectern at Historic Hamtramck Stadium, where the Negro National League’s Detroit Stars used to play, to discuss the ballpark’s $2.6 million renovation and community impact. As Hamtramck Stadium gets a much-needed makeover, the Tigers are continuing their building process. General manager Al Avila recently stated the rebuild — four
It was not that long ago when many of the Detroit Tigers faithful were clamoring for the team to select Jack Leiter from Vanderbilt. That, of course, wasn’t an option but that doesn’t leave the organization Leiter-less. Those bloodlines currently have a station in Toledo with Mark Leiter Jr., who is Jack’s cousin. The Tigers
Miguel Cabrera feels the pressure. He stood outside the Detroit Tigers‘ dugout Friday at Comerica Park, discussing the milestones — 500 home runs and 3,000 hits — that he knows are within reach. There’s a giant green sign in left field named “Miggy Milestones” to track his results. The sign is visible from all angles
The Tigers announced they’ve claimed right-hander Nivaldo Rodríguez off waivers from the Astros and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo. Houston designated Rodríguez for assignment over the weekend. Detroit had a pair of vacancies on the 40-man roster, so no corresponding move was necessary. Rodríguez has made nine appearances totaling sixteen innings of relief at the big
First and foremost, pardon for the absence of the weekly Detroit Tigers reports but now until the end of the minor league season, they will be back on a weekly basis and it will include the FCL. There is a lot of ground to cover so let’s get right into it!
Trade deadline passed Friday for MLB teams who had quite the seismic day and week peddling all kinds of high-profile treasure. As for the Tigers, they treated the Richter scale gently, sending Daniel Norris to the Brewers for a kid pitcher named Reese Olson. This exercise in minimalist shopping didn’t endear general manager Al Avila
The baseball season has a funny way of feeling both fleeting and interminable. It seems like we published our list of the top 20 Detroit Tigers prospects yesterday (it was actually five months ago), but it also feels like 10 million things have happened since.
Remember when we said not to look at the Detroit Tigers’ August schedule? That was a good plan while it lasted, huh? And while the Tigers didn’t sweep the final week of July — though, hey, undefeated in August! — and climb back to .500, they picked up enough wins (three) to lock in their
Until Eric Haase showed up, Brennan Boesch was the most recent Detroit Tigers player to win American League Rookie of the Month. He won in May and June 2010, which led to a fifth place finish in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. But 11 years feels too long. Haase, 28, learned Monday he was crowned
