Mickey York and Dan Petry are on Tigers LIVE to get you set for Tigers-Red Sox, weather permitting. The offense woke up last night, but Miguel Cabrera has been in a slump. Casey Mize is excited for his first start at Fenway and got to visit the famous scoreboard. #DetroitRoots
In previous years, we’d be roughly a month away from the Draft at this point and the picture would be coming into clearer focus. But with the event pushed back to July 11 and teams having less history than ever on college players because of the pandemic, it’s still very fluid. Vanderbilt right-handers Jack Leiter
Before A.J. Hinch became a manager, he was a farm director, serving as director of player development for the D-backs. He hasn’t forgotten that role and the importance of communication between the big league club and the Minor Leagues that supply young talent and in-season help. That’s why, as the Minor Leagues get underway this
Boston — Changes are coming. Again. Outfielder Nomar Mazara, who homered in his first rehab at-bat in Toledo Tuesday, could be back off the injured list this weekend. That means somebody, maybe one of the outfielders, maybe a pitcher, will be either sent down or out of the organization. JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes, both off
The 2021 minor-league baseball season began yesterday, offering a welcome distraction for weary Detroit Tigers fans (and beat writers). Rogelio wrote a recap of yesterday’s results, and we hope to offer daily content on the happenings with Detroit’s farm teams.
Well the offense finally got loose on Tuesday night. So of course it came on a night where Michael Fulmer didn’t make it out of the first inning. The Tigers starter on Wednesday night is Casey Mize, and we can presumably expect much more effective work from him. Can this lineup put up some runs
TOLEDO, Ohio — For the first time in 610 days, baseball returned to Fifth Third Field. It was right-hander Matt Manning‘s second Opening Day start. He started Double-A Erie’s first game in the 2019 season before the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the minor leagues in 2020. He jogged out of the dugout Tuesday for the Toledo Mud
Boston — It was just eight days ago. In Chicago. First inning. The big right-handed hitter turned on a 95-mph heater from Lucas Giolito, middle-in. The ball left his bat with an exit velocity of 110 mph and traveled 445 feet soaring into the left-field seats at Guaranteed Rate Field. It looked like a swing from
May 5: Goes 0-for-3 in pro debutThe first regular-season game of Spencer Torkelson’s professional career is in the books. The Tigers’ top prospect made his debut at High-A for the West Michigan Whitecaps in the 2021 Minor League season opener on Tuesday. Batting in the No. 2 spot and playing third base against the Fort
The Detroit Tigers are the worst team in baseball. Maybe you expected this. Maybe you didn’t. What you weren’t expecting, it’s safe to assume, is that the Tigers could end up as one of the worst teams ever, both in won-loss record and offensive metrics. Entering Tuesday night’s game against Boston, the Tigers had lost 15 of their last
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Nashville Sounds 6 (box) Things started off pretty well in this one. Matt Manning was commanding his fastball beautifully and ran through the Sounds for two innings with three punchouts. However, the fastball was about all he had, as the curveball was scarcely used and regularly spiked into the dirt when
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — The stadium was almost empty. The grounds crew was cutting the grass late Tuesday night at Parkview Field, after the Fort Wayne TinCaps beat the West Michigan Whitecaps, 8-0. Spencer Torkelson, one of the Detroit Tigers‘ top prospects, came down the ramp to talk to the media after making his professional

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch speaks with the media following a run scoring filled game at Fenway Park between Detroit and Boston. #Leinenkugels
Mark Didtler | Associated Press Tampa, Fla. — It took just four batters at George Steinbrenner Field before a fan yelled “C’mon, blue!” toward home plate umpire Kaleb Devier after two consecutive close pitches were called balls. Never mind that a computer was making the calls. Didn’t matter on Tuesday night as the Tampa Tarpons took on the
Boston – Wouldn’t it figure. On the night the Tigers’ offense finally breaks out of a 18-game funk, the pitching staff allows double-digit runs. The Tigers, shutout in two of the three games in New York over the weekend, produced more runs than they had in a game since April 13, but it was still
