Friars reportedly in on top free agent in upcoming class

A recent report from The New York Post’s Jon Heyman suggested that the San Diego Padres might return to their former Seidler-spending ways this offseason, even getting into the bidding war for the services of Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. Skubal has long been sought after by other clubs, and teams like the Los Angeles […]

Hao-Yu Lee’s first home run a sign of things to come

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee had a pretty rough spring. After a slow start in camp, he headed off to represent his native Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic. An oblique strain suffered before the tournament even began caused him to miss the opportunity, and then it lingered, costing him the first week of […]

JR Ritchie to get second start, Reynaldo López heads to bullpen

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced after today’s 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies that rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie will get his second major league start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Weiss also confirm that former right-handed starter Reynaldo López is heading to the bullpen to work out some mechanical issues that are […]

Tigers 8, Reds 3: Sweepless in Cincinnati

After a gut-punch of a loss on Friday night, and a generalized shellacking on Saturday, could the Tigers salvage at least one win from their three-game series in Cincinnati? Well, with the help of some nice home runs — surprise, surprise, in this bandbox — and a feat not seen in a Tiger uniform for […]

Spencer Torkelson homers for fifth straight game, tying Tigers franchise record

After a slow start to the 2026 season, Detroit Tigers’ first baseman Spencer Torkelson is suddenly scorching hot. His approach has remained strong throughout some early struggles, with a consistently low chase rate and plenty of walks. He just wasn’t swinging at enough strikes. Problem solved. On Sunday, Torkelson homered for the fifth straight game, […]

Game 28: Reds vs. Tigers (1:40 PM ET) – Lowder vs. Montero

Rhett Lowder’s best outing of the 2026 season came back on April 4th against the Texas Rangers. The Cincinnati Reds righty fired 6.0 IP of scoreless, 3 hit ball that day, and he did so pitching to catcher Jose Trevino for the first (and, so far, only) time this year. That’s largely because Trevino hit […]

Paging bullpen support for the Detroit Tigers

It’s a given year, and a given baseball season, and so the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen is a problem. Despite a nice run of 3-1-1 in their last five series, things still feel too precarious for any comfort. The club has the 19th best ERA and the 23rd best FIP out of their relief corps currently. […]

Game 29 Preview: Tigers try to prevent a sweep at the Reds on Sunday

The Detroit Tigers have dropped the first two games of the weekend series at the Cincinnati Reds after their 9-2 loss on Saturday night.

Homer-happy Reds blast past Tigers in 9-2 rout

The Cincinnati Reds welcomed Aaron Harang, Lou Piniella, Brandon Phillips, and Reggie Sanders into their team’s Hall of Fame in ceremony on Saturday afternoon.

Reds 9, Tigers 2: Bad Jack strikes again

Jack Flaherty had zero command of anything in this one and was mauled for six runs in two innings of work. Even accounting for Flaherty’s usual rollercoaster nature, this is two in a row where he really couldn’t put the fastball remotely where he wanted it with any consistency. Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkelson homered […]

Missouri defeats Arkansas 6-1 for first SEC home win since 2024

It had been 715 days since Missouri baseball had last tasted a Southeastern Conference victory at Taylor Stadium. 1,491 days marked the last time the Tigers had bested Arkansas. Both of those streaks ended in Mizzou’s 6-0 victory on Saturday afternoon at Taylor Stadium. Another monkey off the Tigers’ back? Their recent nine-game losing streak, […]

Reds to place Eugenio Suárez on injured list with oblique strain

Cincinnati Reds slugger Eugenio Suárez was a late scratch from the Friday evening lineup in the team’s series opener in Great American Ball Park against the Detroit Tigers.

Reds 9, Tigers 8: Bullpen breakdown, Queen City shakedown

The Tigers continued their string of games against National League Central opponents on Friday night, in the opener of a three-game series against the Reds on the banks of the Ohio River.

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Tigers walk it off on Torkelson homer

The Yankees captured a good win on Thursday against the Red Sox. Cam Schlittler looked great once again, pitching eight innings, and a rally in the seventh on the backs of Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge propelled them to victory.

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 4/24-4/30

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers bounced back nicely on their road trip against the Marlins and Tigers, and they’re now back in Milwaukee to host Paul Skenes and the Pirates this weekend.
