Remember sweeping the Astros? Ah, to go back to two weeks ago. Since then, the Detroit Tigers have lost a pair of four-game series and two of three against the Royals, dropping their record down to 7-16, already eight games back in the division. While this whole season will not be this bad (right? please?)
Facing a one-run deficit, rookie Akil Baddoo stood on third base with no outs in the bottom of the eighth inning against the Kansas City Royals on Monday. The electric 22-year-old had just tripled off the left-field wall, and the Detroit Tigers felt the momentum. But the next three batters couldn’t drive him home. Those costly mistakes represent a trend,
It’s tough to imagine Carlos Correa with any team but the Houston Astros, but the 2017 World Series champion is up for free agency after this season and could be a valuable trade chip now. Trading a player of Correa’s caliber in the middle of the season won’t be popular among Astros fans, but given…
Robbie Grossman doubled, advanced to third on a Harold Castro ground out and scored when Miguel Cabrera singled to put the Detroit Tigers on the scoreboard for the first time in 15 innings. This sequence is what manager AJ Hinch wants to see more often — put the ball in play and good things will

The latest minor moves from around baseball… The Tigers have outrighted Renato Nunez to their alternate training site, the team announced. Nunez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. Nunez inked a minor league deal with the Tigers after being released by the Orioles prior to December’s non-tender deadline, and Nunez has
Editor’s note: This is the ninth in a weekly series of stories in which Detroit News freelance writer Lynn Henning will rank the top prospects in July’s MLB Draft. In the latter weeks of May, 2000, the then-Florida Marlins had a decision to make. They had the first pick in that June’s MLB draft. But they
Detroit — AJ Hinch, without seeking absolution, asked that everybody keep this horrific stretch of losing baseball in perspective. An ask that’s getting tougher with each passing day. “Without giving us a pass for underperforming, we have to stay positive,” he said. “It’s not going to get any better by coming to work in a bad
TOLEDO, Ohio – The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians were held to a scoreless tie on Monday in an alternate-site contest at Fifth Third Field. Zack Short reached base twice for the Tigers, going 1-for-3 with a single and a HBP. Christin Stewart finished 1-for-3 with a single, while Jake TOLEDO, Ohio – The Detroit
If the New York Yankees are ready to part with Aaron Judge, these teams should already be calling Brian Cashman. The MLB trade deadline is three months away, but there’s never a bad time to consider speculation going back to the offseason or looking ahead. To that end, as part of a longer piece, ESPN’s…
Let’s hear from Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull, who had a respectable outing as he continues to get into regular season form after a delayed debut in 2021. #DetroitRoots
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch addresses the media after Detroit suffers a series sweep at the hands of the Kansas City Royals. #Leinenkugels
The end of a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals mercifully came today, on a chilly Michigan Monday, with a 3-2 loss. Spencer “Big Red” Turnbull and Brad “The Georgia Peach” Keller, two extreme-groundball pitchers, started today, so the worms at Comerica Park were on high alert the whole afternoon. Keller’s season so far
DETROIT — The sight of Jarrod Dyson dashing home from third with Monday’s go-ahead run on Whit Merrifield’s fifth-inning sacrifice fly was a familiar one. The Royals’ speedster haunted the Tigers for years during his previous stint in Kansas City, and he has enough energy left in his 36-year-old legs to keep it up. The
Things are bad for the Detroit Tigers right now. Very bad. They are averaging just 3.05 runs per game, which is the lowest in baseball. Their 67 runs through 22 games is the 6th lowest total in franchise history, and the worst since the infamous 2003 season.
There’s nothing wrong with right-hander Michael Fulmer, but the Detroit Tigers are considering sending him back to the bullpen. Manager AJ Hinch is thinking about going to a five-man rotation, at least throughout the upcoming nine-game road trip to Chicago, New York and Boston, which would insert rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal into the starting rotation.
Detroit — Maybe calling it a “modified” six-man rotation is wrong. It might be better to call it a modifiable six-man rotation, or a six-man flex. Tigers manager AJ Hinch and pitching coach Chris Fetter are kicking around the idea of flipping roles again for Michael Fulmer and Tarik Skubal. “We’re talking about what we’re
DETROIT – Michael Fulmer has looked more like his pre-injury self since rejoining the Tigers’ rotation a couple weeks ago. His season-opening stint in the bullpen helped him regain his fastball velocity by taking a reliever mentality into his starts. So why, then, are the Tigers now talking about shifting Fulmer back into the bullpen?
The feel-good feeling from the Houston Astros series for the Detroit Tigers has clearly vanished into thin air as the frustrations of the team’s recent struggles have spilled onto social media. Venting on social media is nothing new. If you go back to the days of newspapers, social media just another evolution of the “keyboard…
Is it too soon to say the “P” word? No, not “playoffs.” And don’t worry, A.I., not “practice” either. No, we’re thinking of a different word… or words, properly: “Punchless.” “Powerless.” “Pathetic.” “Putrid.” “Pitiful.” And, of course, “Pissed off.” (OK, that’s actually two words, but AJ Hinch contributed it, and who are we to ignore
