Cristopher Sanchez smothers Tigers’ bats to even the series

Casey Mize didn’t have his best outing, and the opposing pitcher was a tough test in this one. Cristopher Sanchez won that contest, and while the Tigers actually swung the bats reasonably well, they fumbled a few opportunities and the Phillies won 4-2 to even the series at a game apiece. This was going to […]

Detroit Tigers select SS Dominic Pellegrin with pick No. 125 of 2026 MLB Draft

The Detroit Tigers first day of the 2026 MLB draft is in the books. With their fourth round pick, they took prep shortstop Dominic Pellegrin out of Holy Cross High School in Louisiana. We were waiting for a prep shorstop pick all through Day 1, and the Tigers delivered, finding an underviewed, though older, right-handed […]

The Detroit Tigers selected Florida Gulf Coast Eagles two-way standout Tyson LeBlanc in the Competitive Balance Round B of the 2026 MLB Draft with the 69th overall pick on Saturday afternoon. The junior from Tampa, Florida, bats left-handed and throws right-handed, and his slot value is set at $1.25 million. MLB Pipeline ranked him as […]

The Detroit Tigers selected Kansas Jayhawks shortstop Tyson LeBlanc in the second round of the 2026 MLB Draft with the 61st overall pick on Saturday afternoon.

Detroit Tigers select RHP Cameron Flukey in the first round

The newest future Detroit Tiger has joined the organization, as Scott Harris and co selected RHP Cameron Flukey with the 22nd pick of the MLB Draft. Flukey just finished his third year with Coastal Carolina with 31 strikeouts in 24 innings, having missed most of the season with a preseason stress fracture in his rib. […]

The 2025 Detroit Tigers MLB draft in retrospect

As in 2024, the Detroit Tigers were once again faced with a low pick as they selected 24th overall in the 2025 MLB amateur draft. Unlike 2024, they had the competitive balance A round selection, which helped both in terms of picks but also in terms of bonus pool to a degree. They did as […]

Tigers can clinch 4th straight series with win over Phillies on Saturday

The Detroit Tigers continued their surge into the All-Star break on Friday night with an authoritative 10-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Comerica Park. Jack Flaherty made it to the six-inning mark for the first time in what seems like forever, giving his team a quality start in the process, while a trio of […]

Max Clark homers in Mud Hens loss

Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 3 (box) Troy Watson was knocked around in his return to the rotation, and the Hens couldn’t capitalize enough on 10 hits and two walks to mount a comeback. Watson gave up a run in the bottom of the first, and then three more in the third. The score […]

The 2024 Detroit Tigers MLB draft in retrospect

Scott Harris’ second draft with scouting chiefs Rob Metzler and Mark Conner followed a similar set of preferences, but in a much more challenging position as the Tigers had the 11th overall selection, and their compensation pick was set after the second round this time around. As a result, they were working with a much […]

Jackson Strong homers, Elissalt K’s seven in Whitecaps victory

Indianapolis Indians 6, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) These two teams continue to go back and forth as the Indians fought off a late rally from the Hens and walked this one off. Ty Madden got the start in this one, and it was another rough one. Madden has struggled after a nice stint up […]

Dingers from unlikely sources power Tigers to sweep of A’s

The white-hot Detroit Tigers went for the home sweep of a three-game weeknight series against the Homeless A’s on Thursday evening, after winning the first two games in fun fashion. They made it eight wins in the past nine games with a 4-1 win to complete the sweep. It was Framber Valdez’s turn in the […]

Tigers DFA Jahmai Jones, Eduardo Valencia promoted from Triple-A

Well, the day was bound to come. Pinch-hit specialist Jahmai Jones has struggled mightily all season long, and while the Detroit Tigers were more patient than most liked, he just hasn’t been able to turn things around. Dillon Dingler’s hand contusion isn’t going to put him on the injured list, but it did precipitate a […]

Detroit Tigers go for home sweep of Athletics on Thursday

The Detroit Tigers are on a roll as the All-Star break approaches, notching their fifth win of July and seventh in the last eight games after securing a 6-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night. Troy Melton set a new career high in strikeouts with nine while allowing just an unearned run over just […]

Bryce Rainer’s monster performance leads Whitecaps over Fort Wayne

Toledo Mud Hens 2, Indianapolis Indians 0 (box) The Hens got really good pitching in this one and while the offense wasted some opportunities, it was enough to even the series. Max Clark led off the game with a walk, but was picked off. I don’t mind this at all. Would love to see him […]

Jake Rogers becomes unlikely hero in Tigers’ win

Perhaps they should rename Comerica Park to Rogers Center after Jake Rogers’ pinch performance helped the Tigers beat the A’s 6-1. The Tigers have been pretty good lately, 7-3 for their last 10 games, and as we know, performing well against teams with much better records than theirs. So naturally, against another fourth-place team, they’re […]

The 2023 Detroit Tigers MLB draft in retrospect

With the 2026 MLB amateur draft only days away, and Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris going into his fourth draft as head of the club, it’s a good time to look back at his first three efforts. The 2023 edition was, of course, quite a good one. Harris and amateur scouting director […]

Justin Verlander named to All-Star Game, announces he’ll retire at season’s end

On Wednesday afternoon, Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander was selected to the 2026 MLB All-Star Game as the American League Legend’s pick. Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper was also named a Legend’s Pick on the National League team by the Commissioner’s office. Both will be honored during the All-Star Week festivities.
