While one Tigers top prospect is going on a much-anticipated hitting tear, another one spent his Saturday taking hits away. Spencer Torkelson returned to the High-A West Michigan lineup in time for a two-homer outburst for the Whitecaps Saturday night against Lake County. MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 overall prospect now has three home runs in
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch isn’t calling Grayson Greiner’s situation a setback, but there is a delay in the backup catcher’s return from the injured list. Greiner hasn’t played during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo since Thursday, his second game for the Mud Hens. He was placed on the 10-day injured list May 12 with a
Detroit Tigers fans had quite a bit to celebrate as Detroit took the series over the New York Yankees, Riley Greene turned into “Superman” and Spencer Torkelson had his first multi-home run game as a professional.

It’s not always the stuff that counts. Though if you’re building an ace pitcher, you could do a lot worse than starting with the arm talent of Detroit Tigers rookie Casey Mize. He throws four pitches well. Two of them — his splitter and breaking ball — are punchout-quality no matter the count or hitter. He can also throw any
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch doesn’t like accepting moral victories or silver linings. The 2017 World Series winner with the highest managerial winning percentage in Houston Astros history, Hinch views the game in two ways. You win or you lose. The Tigers have done more losing than winning this season, with a 21-31 record. They’re in last place

Outfielder Daz Cameron and infielder Yariel Gonzalez led the offensive charge for Toledo, backing up a great team effort by the pitching staff. The win gives the Hens a 3-2 series
Detroit — For a minute there Saturday, Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull looked vulnerable. He was spraying pitches, missing spots, seemingly searching his rhythm and release point. “I was nowhere close to the strike zone,” Turnbull said. “It’s hard. It’s like a mental battle because you’re so frustrated with yourself. You aren’t getting beat by them, you’re

Detroit — For a minute there Saturday, Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull looked vulnerable. He was spraying pitches, missing spots, seemingly searching his rhythm and release point. That lasted for roughly five hitters. Then he went back to being mostly unhittable. Turnbull allowed a run and three singles through 5.2 innings and the Tigers beat the Yankees for
DETROIT — The more Spencer Turnbull pitches, the more his no-hitter from last week looks like a stepping stone in his development. It’s not for his ability to throw no-hit stuff in two outings since, but his ability to succeed when his arsenal of pitches has been far from that quality. A year ago, maybe
