Max Anderson and Max Clark post two-hit games in Mud Hens’ loss
Columbus Clippers 6, Toledo Mud Hens 4 (box) Carl Edwards Jr. gave up four runs in the first two innings, and the Hens couldn’t quite fight back enough in this one. Edwards did eventually settle in and strike out eighth, but he continues to be pretty vulnerable to the long ball. Max Clark was clipped […]
Tigers welcome back familiar faces in blowout victory
This was a very different game from Monday as the Tigers beat the Orioles 14-0. After taking their third loss in a row on Monday, the Tigers were really hoping to get out of their run of bad luck. With Troy Melton on the mound, they were looking to improve over their dismal series opener. […]

Jake Rogers DFA’d, Javier Báez reinstated from injured list
Well this is a peculiar first move for trade deadline season. Jake Rogers, the longest tenured Detroit Tigers player, has been designated for assignment. Eduardo Valencia was recalled on Sunday and will be taking over the backup catcher duties. Rogers’ roster spot will go to Javier Báez, who returns from a three-month absence after suffering […]
Tigers seek a series-evening win against the Orioles on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers opened up the back leg of their current homestand with an 8-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday night. Keider Montero was far from his usual self, surrendering six runs in four-plus innings, while the offense just did not have enough to dig out of the hole. Taking the mound in […]
Tigers drop O’s series opener with disappointing Montero start
Not an ideal outcome to the series opener against the Orioles as the Tigers lost 8-5. But hey, there was wildlife! After losing their last two games over the weekend to the Royals, the Tigers really needed to win some games. Unfortunately, they were facing off against the Orioles, a sub-.500 team struggling in the […]

How the Tigers can keep Tarik Skubal without ruining their 2027 draft
Should the Detroit Tigers decide to keep Tarik Skubal through the August 3 trade deadline without signing him to a contract extension, they will still face one of the most complicated roster decisions of the Scott Harris era. As discussed previously, should Skubal decline a qualifying offer and sign elsewhere this winter, the Tigers would […]
How valuable is a good reliever?
Despite a 48-54 record, the Detroit Tigers have a bit of an embarrassment of riches when it comes to good starting pitching. At various points in time, any and all of Tarik Skubal, Casey Mize, Jack Flaherty, and Troy Melton have been on the injured list, yet the team has the 6th highest fWAR and […]
Tigers wrap up homestand with 3-game set vs Orioles
The Detroit Tigers had to settle for a split in their four-game home series against the Kansas City Royals last weekend, succumbing to the visitors in a 5-4 finale on Sunday afternoon. Framber Valdez was far from efficient and the bullpen once again squandered a late lead, resulting in the team’s 56th defeat this season. […]
Tigers farm hits two grand slams to close out week
Toledo Mud Hens 10, Louisville Bats 2 (box) Lael Lockhart worked through a pair of homers in the first two innings — one being of the inside-the-park variety — and then it was smooth sailing for Toledo’s pitching staff in this one. Ivan Johnson took Lockhart deep on the very first pitch of the game, […]
Tigers bullpen blows another late lead
Framber Valdez was mediocre at best once again on Sunday. Despite not swinging the bats well in this series, the Tigers did fight back and take a lead into the late innings, but once again their makeshift bullpen couldn’t lock it down. The Royals came back on a two-run homer by Michael Massey in the […]

What can the Tigers ask for in a Tarik Skubal trade?
Right now, the Detroit Tigers are on a 28-17 run going back to June 1, and have crept back into the fringes of the wild card conversation. They don’t want to sell, and there’s no word of even any exploratory talks on the subject, but their situation remains extremely difficult. The Tigers are winning, but […]
Tigers seek series win over Royals on Sunday
The Detroit Tigers fell short of a series-clinching win on Saturday afternoon, falling to the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, as the offense continues to struggle and the bullpen once again failed to maintain a late lead. It was the 11th-straight game between the two teams decided by one run at Comerica Park. The Motor City […]
Jobe goes four innings in rehab start, Max Clark hits 10th HR
Toledo Mud Hens 9, Louisville Bats 4 (box) Sawyer Gipson-Long had another short yet intriguing outing. His strikeout numbers are decent — six today and five last week — but he couldn’t make it to the fourth inning this week. There’s consistent contact, except when there isn’t. He struck out five straight after allowing four […]
Late dingers doom Detroiters
The Tigers looked to make it three in a row at home against the Royals in a four-game weekend series. It was a tight game all throughout, not unlike Friday night’s game, but a couple of solo home runs late in the game spoiled a solid pitching performance as the Royals won 3-2 on Saturday […]

Tigers sign second round pick SS Tyson LeBlanc to complete 2026 draft class
It took a while, but on Friday the Detroit Tigers wrapped up their 2026 MLB draft class by signing second round pick Tyson LeBlanc to a slightly overslot deal worth $1,608.955. The Kansas Jayhawks shortstop waited until closer to the July 27 signing cut-off, presumably to let the Tigers work on three prep players they […]
Tigers can clinch series win vs Royals with win on Saturday afternoon
The Detroit Tigers took the second of the four-game home series against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night with a narrow 2-1 victory. Tarik Skubal was his dominant self over 7 1/3 innings of work and the offense managed to muster up just enough for the win for the second night in a row. […]
Edian Espinal stays hot for Lakeland, Justice Bigbie’s hit streak reaches 23 games
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Louisville Bats 2 (box) Dylan File went seven innings in this one while the Mud Hens were clutch in cashing in their scoring opportunities on Friday. The Hens opened the scoring with a run in the bottom of the second. Eduardo Valencia led off with a double, took third on a […]
Skubal masterful in narrow victory over Royals
After Thursday night’s thrilling come-from-behind win to open the four-game series against the Royals, the tension was high all night as the Tigers, behind terrific pitching and just enough offence, squeaked-out a 2-1 victory on Friday night to ensure at least a series tie. Tarik Skubal made his fifteenth start of the season; his previous […]

Three paths for the Detroit Tigers at the trade deadline
The Detroit Tigers are doing their very best to get back into the playoff picture. After a 22-14 run from June 1 to the All-Star break, they’ve won five of seven, including a 4-2 road trip, to start the unofficial second half of the season. As fun as it’s been, their surge has been muted […]
Kerry Carpenter’s more selective approach isn’t working out
If you’d told me on March 1st that Kerry Carpenter would be batting 6th on July 20th, I would have assumed the Tigers had the best offense in baseball, or at least that a lefty was on the mound. I would certainly have been wrong. After years of menacing right-handed pitchers from the top of […]
