Over the course of a regular season, the Tigers will face off against Cleveland a whopping 19 times. In past years they have proven to be a bit of a nemesis for the Tigers, and a point of struggle and contention. This year, the Cleveland team looks a little different, missing one of their best
Detroit — It’s cold. It’s April. It’s time to start the baseball season in Detroit. The Tigers and the Cleveland Indians will get things officially underway at 1:10 p.m. But hardy fans got things underway unofficially this morning. Though COVID-19 health precautions have restricted some of the traditional celebrations, establishments near and around Comerica Park are
Opening Day means baseball is back. It means the screams of fans in the stands, the crack of the bat, the smell of popcorn and hot dogs. It also means player introductions during pregame ceremonies!

“Hello, is this thing on?” *taps mic* “I just have one thing I’d like to say… BASEBALL IS BACK!” That’s right, it’s Opening Day for the Detroit Tigers. Old man winter has retreated back into his bungalow (well, mostly) and the baseball gods have officially entered the chat. Spring training was fun for awhile, but
Baseball is back! It wasn’t the longest offseason in recent memory — going without baseball last spring was painful, y’all — but those winter months still seemed to stretch on all the same. Now, with the 2021 MLB season getting underway in just a few hours, it’s time to get acquainted (or reacquainted, for the
On behalf of our Clubs, players and all of us at Major League Baseball, welcome to a very special Opening Day. This spring provides a moment to celebrate hope — not just for our favorite teams, but for our society as we emerge from a difficult year full of hardships and pain. We extend our gratitude
The Detroit Tigers designated outfielder Christin Stewart for assignment on Thursday, making room for lefthander Derek Holland, who was added to the 40-man roster prior to Detroit’s Opening Day matchup with the Cleveland Indians. The Tigers selected Stewart with the 34th overall pick in the 2015 MLB draft, and he rose quickly through the minors,
The 2021 MLB season is officially underway, Motown, and your Detroit Tigers are back in action against the longtime rival Cleveland Indians.

Welcome back baseball fans, Opening Day 2021 is finally upon us. After one of most tumultuous years in memory, a more familiar looking season lies ahead, and we can’t wait. There are still going to be strict limitations and guidelines for attendance, and the city of Detroit is warning fans off from tail-gating, so things
Opening Day in Detroit is upon us, and no one roots like Detroit Roots.
LAKELAND, Fla. — The Detroit Tigers are ready for Opening Day. The 26-man roster features five starting pitchers, eight relievers, two catchers, six infielders and five outfielders. The season-opening first pitch, and manager AJ Hinch’s first game since 2019, is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. Thursday against the Cleveland Indians at Comerica Park. “It’s time for us
Opening Day in Detroit is the unofficial start to spring. And, boy, we’ve never needed spring more than we do here in 2021 — not after the last year we’ve had, a year of so much loss, so much grief, and so much disruption to our everyday lives. Sports returned a while ago, but the fans only recently
After six weeks of watching their shadows in the Florida sunshine, the Tigers made their annual migration north from spring training Tuesday afternoon. And when the plane landed in Detroit, they were in for a pleasant surprise. “We got in and it was like 70 degrees — it was a little bit of a teaser,” said
DETROIT — Akil Baddoo finally had his “Welcome to the big leagues” moment. It took an entire Spring Training, a team flight north to Detroit, and a few steps towards the vast outfield at Comerica Park to get there. “It is really big,” Baddoo said, his eyes widening as he recalled it later Wednesday morning
Nothing is back to normal. Not totally. But we are getting closer. You can feel the optimism. Vaccines are going into arms. Spring is here, even if there are days when it doesn’t feel like it, and the Detroit Tigers will kick off their season Thursday against the Cleveland Indians at Comerica Park. Ironically, if
Detroit Tigers left-hander Gregory Soto is a special arm out of the bullpen. Entering the 2021 season, his third year in the majors, the 26-year-old is trying to lock down the coveted closer role. His resume explains everything: A 100 mph fastball, a nasty wipeout slider and — the drawback, like so many Tigers closers before
We’re fewer than 24 hours away from the start of the 2021 MLB season, when the Detroit Tigers kick off their year against Cleveland and reigning American League Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber. Rogelio posted our season predictions earlier, but this post is a bit more focused. We want to point you toward five…
Detroit – Akil Baddoo walked down the steps that lead from the Tigers’ clubhouse to the dugout before the team’s workout at Comerica Park on Wednesday and for the first time looked out onto the massive expanse of manicured green lawn. For a rookie outfielder who has never played a game above High-A, it was
Hear it straight from the players’ mouths, Opening Day is a big deal. Miguel Cabrera, Matthew Boyd, and JaCoby Jones each bring a vet’s perspective, but young guys like Willi Castro and Grayson Greiner know there’s plenty of reasons to be excited heading into the 2021 season.
When the Detroit Tigers hired AJ Hinch as manager in late October, the future plans became undeniably clear. You don’t hire a former World Series champion to start from scratch. This isn’t 2017, when the Tigers succumbed to the rebuilding process by trading away Justin Verlander, Justin Upton, J.D. Martinez, Alex Avila and Justin Wilson. So far,
