Across the Detroit Tigers Minor League affiliates in week nine the common theme among them was power as the SeaWolves hit four home runs on the Fourth of July, Bryant Packard for West Michigan has now homered in three straight games and Aderlin Rodriguez had three home runs in the series against Columbus.
Detroit Tigers reliever Jose Cisnero could have been an All-Star in 2021. Instead, the other half of the Tigers’ one-two punch out of the bullpen gets to make the trip to Denver. Left-hander Gregory Soto will represent his team on the American League All-Star roster. It’s the 26-year-old’s first All-Star Game in his third MLB season. But
Arlington, Texas — We were all forewarned. Manager AJ Hinch very nearly did it against Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in spring training, and he said then, don’t be surprised if he uses a four-man outfield at some point this season. That point in the season was Monday in the Tigers’ 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers in their

The first game of a seven-game, seven-day, pre-All-Star-Break road trip, and the first of a three-game series in Texas against the Rangers, saw the Tigers win 7-3, but only after the Rangers scored all their runs with two outs in the ninth. This was Detroit’s first visit to Globe Life Field, not to be confused
Detroit Tigers shortstop Zack Short flailed his bat in frustration, striking out for the sixth straight at-bat during the fifth inning Monday against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. That made his sixth-inning home run — the second of his career — a bit sweeter. Short’s two-run shot to center field off Rangers reliever Brett Martin
As Wily Peralta walked off the mound after the seventh inning, catcher Eric Haase jogged out to meet him with a hug and a grin. Even with three innings to go, it was hard not to celebrate the 32-year-old’s performance. As Peralta continues to settle into his starting role with Detroit, his successes have risen

He went into play Monday hitting .265, with a .347 on-base percentage and a 101 OPS-plus. His .716 OPS is third best on the team. You could
In yet another testament to manager A.J. Hinch’s hiring decision when he came to Detroit, the Tigers announced Monday that third-base coach Chip Hale had accepted a job as head coach at his alma mater, the University of Arizona. “If you want to be a head coach in college, come on board, we’re going to
Arlington, Texas — To lose one assistant coach to the college ranks in one season is rare. To lose two, well, that speaks to the quality of staff manager AJ Hinch has put together in his first season with the Tigers. Third-base coach Chip Hale has accepted the head coaching job at his alma mater, the
Tigers third base coach Chip Hale is leaving his position to accept a job as head coach at the University of Arizona, per an announcement from the school’s baseball department.

Gregory Soto stared down Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu, the 2020 American League MVP, with runners on the corners and one out Sunday in the ninth inning.
