Fans of the Detroit Tigers know nothing good ever comes of a trip to Cleveland. Since the Tiger reign as AL Central overlords ended in 2015, Cleveland has feasted on the Tigers. However, Monday’s contest in Progressive Field has already provided one big highlight. In the second inning, with Cabrera leading off the frame, starter
Cleveland — Is it an important start for right-hander Jose Urena on Tuesday? Of course it is. For the Tigers, for sure. For him, as well, for his own peace of mind. But is it a make-or-break start in terms of keeping his spot in the Tigers’ rotation? It is not. “As far as the
Unlike in 2020, the Tigers don’t know who will be available when they make their 1st round selection. In the first of a 3-part series, we take a closer look at the top players available in the 2021 draft according to MLB Pipeline who may be available when the Tigers make the 3rd overall pick,
Editor’s note: This is the 18th in a weekly series of stories in which Detroit News freelance writer Lynn Henning will rank the top prospects in July’s MLB Draft. Next week, in Lakeland, Florida, the Tigers front office and scouts will amass at their minor-league headquarters, with all its meeting rooms and video boards designed to
Cleveland — Could you even imagine Kyle Funkhouser doing this at any point last season? Fourth inning in Game 2 against the Astros on Saturday. Tigers up 1-0. Funkhouser is in the game early because manager AJ Hinch had structured a specifically-modified, match-up based bullpen game. Funkhouser had just induced a double-play ball from slugger
In week 8 of the Detroit Tigers Minor League Report, we recap a series of firsts as Dillon Dingler, Eric De La Rosa both had good weeks. Toledo finishes 4-2 against Memphis and Lakeland’s pitching woes continue.
Happy Monday. We find ourselves fresh off a fun little Sunday afternoon game where the hometown team overcame the best efforts of Jake Odorizzi, the friendly confines of Comerica Park, and the wind to pull off a suicide squeeze and take an extra-inning win to split the weekend series with the Astros. There are still
There was every reason to be fearful for Matt Manning. After not pitching in 2020, his Triple-A numbers to start 2021 were…not great. His peers Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal got off to very bumpy beginnings upon their first MLB call-ups last season, so it seemed like a given that the first few outings were
Toledo Mud Hens 9, Memphis Redbirds 3 (box) The Hens powered up to take the series 4-2 over the Redbirds on Sunday. They jumped on them with a four-run first inning sparked by an two run single from Renato Nuñez to score Kody Clemens and Isaac Paredes. One batter later Aderlin Rodriguez pulled a two-run
AKRON, Ohio — You can see the core coming together. The future of the Detroit Tigers. All in one place. Riley Greene roaming the outfield. Spencer Torkelson anchoring the infield. And Dillon Dingler controlling everything from behind the plate. They are the “Big Three,” the Tigers’ top three positional prospects. And they are playing together
With the Houston Astros in town to face the Detroit Tigers, and Daz Cameron and Jake Rogers starting to earn serious playing time in Detroit, it’s only natural for our thoughts to drift to Justin Verlander. Yes, we know that the righty is out all season recovering from Tommy John surgery; we won’t be seeing
The Tigers placed right-hander Michael Fulmer on the 10-day injured list due to a right cervical spine strain. Left-hander Miguel Del Pozo was called up from Triple-A Toledo to take Fulmer’s spot on the active roster. Despite the rather ominous-sounding official injury designation, “the normal term is his neck is bothering him,” manager A.J. Hinch

Detroit — There is no such thing as a lame walk-off win. If it comes on a balk or a walk, a passed ball or wild pitch, a hit by pitch, error — or even on a sacrifice bunt, the win is exhilarating. “Our guys have bought in that you’re not always going to win
Justin Verlander is set to be a free agent after this season. Verlander has pitched for the Houston Astros since 2017, but he isn’t ruling out a reunion with the Detroit Tigers. He admits he has pondered a return, but he doesn’t want to focus too much on the future. “I’d be lying if I said I

Robbie Grossman played the role of hero again, this time with a squeeze bunt in the bottom of the 10th inning that led to Akil Baddoo sliding in for the winning run. The Tigers were in the position to win thanks to a dominating start from Tarik Skubal, who struck out 9 Astros in 7
