Royals 5, Tigers 1: Sleepwalking towards the cellar
Once again, the Detroit Tigers did not swing the bats well in this one. The makeshift pitching combination didn’t actually do that badly, but they aren’t scoring any runs, and they watched another player go down with a potential injury as Kerry Carpenter left the game after crashing into the wall on a play in […]

Game 40 Preview: Tigers try to snap four-game losing streak on Saturday
We have reached the magical 40-game mark of the season, the point at which one should have a good idea of what a major league team is made of. However, with the plague of injuries that the Detroit Tigers have sustained so far, it is still pretty difficult to get a clear view of what […]
Troy Melton perfect in rehab start, Jude Warwick and Gage Workman star on Friday
Toledo Mud Hens 10, Memphis Redbirds 4 (b0x) Sawyer Gipson-Long returned off the injury list for this one, and was pretty meh, but he did a lot better than lefty Pete Hansen did against the Hens. Gipson-Long gave up two runs in the top of the first, and then another run before departing in the […]
Tigers 3, Royals 4: Tigers go off the rails late, drop series opener
After a nice Thursday off day, the Tigers are in Kansas City hoping to get some games back in the AL Central and push their way back towards first. The AL Central is an extremely tight race at the moment, so every game really does count, even this early in the year. The Tigers had […]

Game 39 Preview: Tigers hit the road to take on Royals this weekend
The Detroit Tigers kick off a six-game road trip on Friday with a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Coming off a rough homestand that saw the team drop four of six — including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox — maybe a little time away […]
Malachi Witherspoon strikes out 10, Peyton Graham homers twice for Erie
Memphis Redbirds 11, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Bryan Sammons threw a decent game, but the bullpen crumbled to dust on Thursday as the Redbirds ran away with this one. Sammons gave up a pair of runs in the top of the second, but otherwise kept things clean over five innings of work. In the […]
BYB Book Club: Unhittable
Welcome to the inaugural BYB Book Club discussion. Our April pick for the book club was Unhittable by Rob Friedman, aka Pitching Ninja. If you’ve read the book (even if you didn’t finish it, we’re not going to check), we’d love for you to participate in this open thread discussion about it. Below we’ve put […]
Bryce Rainer hits first Whitecaps homer while Ben Jacobs dominates again
Toledo Mud Hens 4, Memphis Redbirds 3 (Gm1)(box) (F/8) Gage Workman’s eighth inning single walked Game 1 off for the Mud Hens as the first of a doubleheader after Tuesday night’s rainout. Right-hander Dylan File was knocked around a bit, but hung in there to toss 5 1/3 innings of three-run ball while striking out […]
Red Sox 4, Tigers 0: Flaherty better; bats and defense, not so much
The Detroit Tigers had one goal in mind on Wednesday evening: salvage one win from a three-game home series against the Boston Red Sox. It wasn’t meant to be, though, as the Crimson Hosiery completed the sweep with a 4-0 shutout victory. Making the start for the Tigers tonight was Jack Flaherty, whose troubles have […]

Pitching tipping or not, Framber Valdez failed the competition on Tuesday
It’s hard to think of a bleaker week of Detroit Tigers baseball in recent memory. During the whole length of a seven year rebuild there were no hopes and dreams to be crushed. The 2024 stretch drive came out of nowhere, while the collapse late in 2025 came with such a huge margin of error […]
The Tigers options are thin in the wake of Tarik Skubal’s injury
In case you’ve been living under a rock, it was announced on Monday that Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has been diagnosed with loose bodies in his elbow and will require surgery, sidelining him for a minimum of two months. Unless there is underlying damage in the elbow discovered during the procedure, this injury has […]
MLB News: Tarik Skubal, Kevin McGonigle, Matt Vierling, John Sterling, George Springer
Well, friends, we certainly don’t need to talk about last night’s game against the Red Sox, but we also don’t have much good news to share in today’s news brief either. The Tigers reported on Monday that Tarik Skubal would be headed to the IL and would undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his […]
Game 38 Preview: Tigers try to prevent home sweep at hands of Red Sox
Things have not gone well for the Detroit Tigers in the second half of their current homestand against the Boston Red Sox. On Tuesday night, de facto ace hurler Framber Valdez completely fell apart, coughing up 10 runs in three innings en route to a 10-3 loss. Now facing a possible sweep at home — […]
Beau Brieske rehabs while Whitecaps losing skid hits nine games
Toledo Mud Hens vs. Memphis Red Birds (postponed) This was just as well in the wake of manager Gabe Alvarez’s sudden firing on Tuesday. The team could probably use the time to absorb the news, as whatever his violation, Alvarez has had a reputation as a pretty popular and well-liked manager. With Mike Hessman now […]
Tigers 3, Red Sox 10: Tempers flare in a blow-out as Detroit’s bats fall largely silent
The Tigers find themselves in a precarious position early in the season. They’ve lost two starters as Casey Mize and now Tarik Skubal are out of commission, and they just dropped the first game of the series to one of the most struggling teams in the AL. They needed to start winning, if only to […]

Zach McKinstry returns, Triple-A manager Gabe Alvarez fired
This is going to be a grab bag of news items on the Tigers for Tuesday. Manager A.J. Hinch was on MLB Radio on Tuesday morning. He confirmed that infielder Zach McKinstry will return from the injured list against the Boston Red Sox tonight. McKinstry was banged up in a pair of collisions in a […]
OF Cris Rodriguez, RHP Owen Hall lead FCL Tigers as Complex League season gets underway
Under the leadership of Scott Harris, the Tigers have put a great deal of money and effort into stocking the low minors with lottery ticket teenagers, hoping for some big breakouts. Though injuries have prevented the team from reaping much in the way of tangible rewards yet, it makes for an exciting bunch of players […]
Game 37 Preview: Tigers look to even series vs Red Sox on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers dropped the series opener at home against the Boston Red Sox on Monday night, 5-4, in a game that Tarik Skubal was supposed to start, but instead, Tyler Holton took the mound to open things up for the second straight day. The weather was ugly, but not nearly as bad as losing […]
Red Sox 5, Tigers 4: Bad bullpen dooms Detroiters
On a day in which some big, dark, looming injury news was made, some big, dark, looming clouds — literal, not metaphorical — hung over downtown Detroit. Eventually, those clouds caused a rain delay, but after dodging the drops, the Tigers dropped the opening contest of their three-game home series against the Red Sox, 5-4. […]

Tarik Skubal headed to the injured list for an elbow procedure
During Detroit Tigers’ ace, Tarik Skubal’s last outing, there was momentary concern as the pitcher shook out his left arm on several occasions. His velocity and command didn’t appear to be impacted and Skubal didn’t think there was anything really wrong. Unfortunately, as A.J. Hinch told reporters minutes ago, loose bodies were found in his […]
