A detailed list of nope about the Detroit Tigers
The Tigers were hoping to bounce back from their Tuesday evening loss to the Braves, and they were hoping Tarik Skubal would be the man on the mound to make that happen. Atlanta was leaning on J.R. Ritchie to get them the second win of the series. The Tigers started out aggressively against Ritchie, with […]

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. The relationship between president of baseball operations, Scott Harris, and GM Jeff Greenberg, goes back a decade to their time working under Theo […]
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 […]
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. Adding insult to… um, injury, was losing Casey Mize to right groin tightness and Javier Báez to a bum right ankle. Both will undergo MRIs prior to Wednesday night’s game to […]
Columbus Clippers 8, Toledo Mud Hens 6 (box) The Mud Hens fought back from an early deficit only for the bullpen and a rough error from Max Clark to allow the Clippers to re-take the lead and win on Tuesday in Columbus. Ty Madden got the start, and once again looked like an aging depth […]
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 […]

The Detroit Tigers wrap up their nine-game interleague schedule this week by heading south to face the Atlanta Braves starting on Tuesday night. After taking two out of three from the Milwaukee Brewers at home before dropping two of three at the Cincinnati Reds, the Motor City Kitties move on to face the top team […]
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 […]
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. The Storm Chasers actually struck first on a two-out triple from Josh Rojas that scored Abraham Toro, but the Mud Hens’ pitching staff was sound after that. Bryan Sammons went […]
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 […]
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, […]

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 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 […]
Toledo Mud Hens 2, Omaha Storm Chasers 0 (box) Toledo and Omaha each had five hits on Saturday, but the Mud Hens were the only team to score in a 2-0 win over the Storm Chasers. Sawyer Gipson-Long outdueled Mitch Spence in a battle of minor-league veterans. Both went five innings, but Gipson-Long was better, […]
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. Jack Flaherty looked completely lost on the mound while solo shots by Kevin McGonigle and Spencer Torkleson were all that the offense could muster. On Sunday, they turn to right-hander Keider […]
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 […]

The Detroit Tigers dropped their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, 9-8, in a walk-off on Friday night after building an early lead and sitting through a two-hour rain delay. On Saturday, they look to even things up behind right-hander Jack Flaherty. Opposite him on the mound for Cincinnati is fellow righty Brady Singer. Here’s […]
The Detroit Tigers dropped their series opener against the Cincinnati Reds, 9-8, in a walk-off on Friday night after building an early lead and sitting through a two-hour rain delay. On Saturday, they turn to right-hander Framber Montero to even things up in the Queen City against their NL foes. The 25-year-old hurler has been […]
Toledo Mud Hens 4, Omaha Storm Chasers (box)(F/5) This one lasted just long enough as the Mud Hens seized the lead in the bottom of the fifth, and then the game became official as rain washed out the rest of the day. Lael Lockhart Jr. was uncharacteristically wild in this one, walking four. He gave […]
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. There was a big early lead which evaporated, and then a nice comeback for a late lead, but one final home run doomed […]
