Sometimes it’s the callup of a great prospect that gets people excited. Case in point this year, of course, was the debut of Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic. Sometimes it’s the trade of someone conceived to be a big league obstacle that creates a palpable buzz. That definitely happened when the Rays traded shortstop Willy Adames

Detroit — If you were given this set of statistics — four runs allowed in the last 11⅓ innings, with 12 strikeouts, four walks and an opponent batting average of .231 — would you guess those numbers belong to Tigers lefty Daniel Norris? Bet not. Especially if you watched the Tigers’ 6-5 loss to the Indians Monday and saw
The Detroit Tigers cap. In pop culture, there are so many references to the classic home cap. From Ice Cube in “Boyz in the Hood” to Tom Selleck in Magnum P.I., the old English “D” is a well-traveled logo that looks good on any cap at least in my opinion.
Spencer Torkelson‘s left hamstring tightness doesn’t sound likely to keep the Tigers’ top prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, out more than a few days at High-A West Michigan. He told Whitecaps radio broadcaster Dan Hasty on Tuesday that it’s “not out of the equation” he could return to action by the end of the homestand
So, better to lose competitively than to get run over and stomped every series, right? The Tigers have endured a pair of tough losses back to back, but they’re certainly playing a much better brand of baseball in May. Michael Fulmer blew his first save on Sunday afternoon, while Eric Haase came within inches of
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch never planned on putting outfielder Akil Baddoo in the starting lineup as much as he did early in the season. But Baddoo, a 22-year-old Rule 5 draft pick, earned those opportunities. “He was the talk of baseball when he got off to such a hot start,” manager AJ Hinch said Sunday.
Orioles’ slugger Trey Mancini did not play in 2020, as he was fighting colon cancer. In 2021, Mancini has returned to the field and played amazing, launching 10 home runs so far with 41 RBIs!

Detroit — The difference between a Tigers win and loss was just a matter of a couple steps on Monday. Detroit was aiming to mount a ninth-inning comeback against Cleveland Indians closer Emmanuel Clase. And it looked like they were going to do it. Clase, who entered the game with a 0.84 ERA, struck out leadoff man

A tight game at Comerica Park featured a collection of Tigers offensive highlights, including Willi Castro’s third home run of the season. But the biggest play of the night was made by the Indians defense, robbing Eric Haase of a game-winning hit on the final out of the game.
DETROIT — The last time a Tigers pitcher followed up a no-hitter, fans were treated to the Summer of Verlander, when seemingly every start was a no-hit bid in the making. Nothing about Monday’s 6-5 loss to Cleveland or Spencer Turnbull‘s performance suggested this will be the Summer of Spencer in that sense. Yet much
Spencer Turnbull didn’t throw back-to-back no-hitters like Johnny Vander Meer in 1938, but he carried the Detroit Tigers through six innings and put his team in a position to take the series opener against Cleveland. Then the bullpen had other ideas. With the bases loaded and two outs in the seventh inning, right-hander Bryan Garcia threw a
Detroit — It likely wasn’t going to be a repeat effort from Spencer Turnbull. The Tigers starter threw his first career no-hitter last week against the Seattle Mariners and had good stuff again Monday. But whether it was fatigue, excitement or a Cleveland Indians team eager to swing the bat, Turnbull found himself working out of multiple
The Tigers fought through their own mistakes throughout this one, and almost pulled the game out in the bottom of the ninth in spite of themselves. In the end, they fell 6-5 to Cleveland in the opener of this three-game set in Comerica Park. All around this was just a sloppy game from the Tigers,
Detroit — Sometimes some time away can work wonders. Outfielder Victor Reyes was recalled late Sunday and is back with the Tigers after a 12-game stint with Triple-A Toledo. He started in center field and hit eighth as the team opened a seven-game homestand with a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians on Monday. Reyes had struggled after
