Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch doesn’t consider Jose Urena‘s start on Sunday a wasted effort.

Forgive those fans at West Michigan — those merry folks already loving their promotion to the high side of Single-A baseball — who wanted Riley Greene to do a 2021 encore as the Whitecaps this week begin playing honest-to-gosh baseball for the first time in 20 months. Ah, but the Tigers had other ideas. Greene is

If there were a reason to move Miguel Cabrera down in the batting order, Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch wouldn’t hesitate to have the conversation. But the Tigers (8-21) have lost 14 of their past 16 games because of offensive shortcomings. After Jeimer Candelario’s .278 batting average, the next best everyday player is Wilson Ramos at .218,
New York — The Tigers hitters made Corey Kluber feel like it was 2018 all over again. The two-time Cy Young winner came into the series finale with a 4.15 ERA and a 1.7 WHIP, a far cry from the pitcher that used to give the Tigers fits when he wore an Indians jersey. But

Right-hander Jose Urena did as much as he could to keep the Detroit Tigers competitive in the three-game series finale, pitching to weak contact, flashing his never-quit mentality to complete seven strong innings. The offense, however, forgot to show up. The Tigers (8-21) lost their fifth contest in a row, 2-0, to the New York

I love the Detroit Tigers. Chances are if you are reading this article so do you. If you follow me on Twitter you know I despise tanking. Tanking is for losers and losing should never be rewarded. All the incentives for this scorched earth method employed by some teams who don’t mind making their fans…

Another day, another feeble performance from the Tigers offense. The only question this season has been whether the starting pitcher would keep them in the game or not. On Sunday, Jose Ureña handled a terrifying Yankees lineup with little trouble, but this lineup full of windmills generated no power and went down in a 2-0
José Ureña can’t do anything about the Tigers’ offense, not in the American League anyway. All he can do is pitch. He’s looking better at that with each start. And as Detroit continues its search for a consistent, productive offense, Ureña is at least giving them a chance to stay in games. Time and again
New York — Miguel Cabrera is a slam dunk, first-ballot Hall-of-Famer. He also went into the game Sunday hitting an untenable .125 with three extra-base hits and five RBIs. This can be a nightmare scenario for a manager, as both Brad Ausmus and Ron Gardenhire can attest from their time managing in Detroit. Do you move
Riley Greene has been captivating Tigers fans with his big league potential for more than a year between two Spring Trainings and last year’s Summer Camp. But he has been waiting to get back to Minor League ball for a while. His first regular-season game in 20 months is going to put him just a
The last time the Detroit Tigers won after Saturday’s loss to the New York Yankees was four games ago against the Chicago White Sox. Now, they stare a road sweep straight in their faces after dropping the first two of a weekend tilt in the Big Apple. Considering that the team has only won twice
Third baseman Jeimer Candelario snapped the Detroit Tigers‘ 22-inning scoreless drought on a fourth-inning home run Saturday. He caught a slider, sent the ball 378 feet and just missed the second deck in right field. Born in New York, Candelario was playing in front of family at Yankee Stadium. “Yeah, definitely felt good,” Candelario said. “Helping
