Baseball America projects first three draft picks for Tigers

Another week, another Baseball America staff draft to cover. Why not? I love the draft, probably because it was the only chance for hope for much of the Al Avila years; even now, with the Detroit Tigers in first place, I can’t shake the habit. So here we are yet again. A ‘Staff Draft’ is […]

After losing two in a row against the Braves and dropping below the .500 mark for season wins, the Tigers were hoping to dodge a series sweep before heading back to Detroit.

Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic Detroit broke news on Wednesday afternoon that the Detroit Tigers have hired long-time Chicago Cubs starting pitcher, Kyle Hendricks, as a special assistant to the front office.

Injuries to Casey Mize, Javy Báez have the Tigers in a tight spot

The Detroit Tigers were dealt a blow on Tuesday night in Atlanta. Starting pitcher Casey Mize, off to an outstanding start to his 2026 campaign, left the game in the third inning with what was described as right side groin tightness. Then in the fifth, center fielder and backup shortstop Javier Báez rolled his right […]

Game 31 Preview: Tigers look to even up series at Braves behind Skubal

The Detroit Tigers opened up their three-game weekday series against the Atlanta Braves after a disappointing 5-2 loss at Truist Park on Tuesday night.

Atlanta 5, Detroit 2: Adding injuries to insult

After a pit-stop on the way down I-75 for three games and some questionable “chili,” the Tigers continued south to visit the red-hot Atlanta ball club for the opener of a three-game series on Tuesday night. The Tigers’ bats ran cold, two key players left the game with injuries, and they dropped the opener to […]

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 […]

Erie splits doubleheader while Jesus Pinto’s big game not enough for Lakeland

Toledo Mud Hens 2, Omaha Storm Chasers 1 (box) Toledo won its fifth straight game against Omaha, 2-1, despite only recording three hits on Sunday.

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, […]

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. […]

Casey Mize is pitching better than ever in 2026

Casey Mize has had an interesting career since being drafted 1st overall in 2018. Despite career highlights that include a Minor League no-hitter in his AA debut and a 2025 All-Star Game appearance, Mize has often felt underwhelming for a one-time top prospect. Some of that is due to injuries like Tommy John surgery wiping […]
