Tigers look to take series from Angels on Saturday
The Detroit Tigers came charging out of the All-Star break with a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim on Saturday night. Troy Melton and Keider Montero combined to hold the opponent to just one run while a ninth-inning rally that saw Hao-Yu Lee plate the two winning runs gave the visitors all […]
Gleyber Torres, Kelvis Salcedo, Burch Smith, and Thayron Liranzo all rehabbed on Friday
Toledo Mud Hens vs. Gwinnett Stripers (postponed) The cloud of smoke streaming across the Great Lakes and east coast remained bad enough on Friday to postpone the first game of this series at Fifth Third Field. They’ll try to play two on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Et. Erie SeaWolves 5, Richmond Flying Squirrels 2 (box) […]

Tigers open up second half on road against Angels on Friday
Welcome back from the All-Star break, Detroit Tigers fans! AJ Hinch and Co. open up the “second half” of the 2026 campaign on the road against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim starting on Friday night. It will be a late start for those of us in the more easterly time zones — and will […]
First round pick RHP Cameron Flukey signs with Tigers
The Detroit Tigers have reportedly come to terms with their first five draft picks in the 2026 amateur draft, as well as few select other picks so far. We’ve been waiting for numbers to be announced so we can begin to get an idea how many of their prep and JUCO picks they might actually […]
The Tigers still don’t want to trade Tarik Skubal
The national baseball media has been trying to trade Tarik Skubal from the minute the Detroit Tigers were eliminated from the ALDS by the Seattle Mariners last October. That’s not a surprise, because it’s a good storyline, and one that media in major markets loves to push as the big spending teams pluck talent from […]
Troy Melton’s cutter may be the ticket to acehood
Following the developmental path of Detroit Tigers’ starting pitcher Troy Melton has been a pretty fascinating ride. Watching him improve in 2024, it was pretty clear that he would become a factor in 2025 if he could avoid the plague of pitcher injuries in the Tigers’ system, and so it went. However, during his mixed […]

Tigers Media Day roundup from All-Star week
There are a lot of Detroit Tigers’ storylines playing out during All-Star Week. From Justin Verlander’s honorary selection as a Legends pick and final appearance at the MidSummer Classic as an active player, to Kevin McGonigle’s first All-Star game and triumphant return home to Philadelphia, where the Delaware County native grew up going to Citizens […]
Red Sox acquire OF Jahmai Jones from Tigers
Well, we wondered if anyone would be interested after a disastrous first half, and it turns out the Boston Red Sox came calling. The Detroit Tigers have traded pinch-hitting, lefty mashing specialist Jahmai Jones to the Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later. Getting anything at all back for Jones is […]
How much will it take to sign Tarik Skubal?
Tarik Skubal is not going to sign a multi year contract extension with the Detroit Tigers from a purely financial standpoint. Even if he’d had interest the time for that was sometime in the past two offseasons, and frankly neither party expressed any real interest in doing so. As the reigning two time Cy Young winner, […]
Inside the Numbers: Detroit Tigers 2026 First Half Report
After a horrible start to the 2026 season, the Detroit Tigers have rebounded nicely, posting the best record in the American League since June 1, leaving themselves in position to challenge for a playoff spot and a division title in the second half of the season. At the end of May, Detroit had plunged to […]
Moon Mammoths win via walkoff, Lakeland has a hit party before ASB
Indianapolis Indians 5, Toledo Mud Hens 0 (box) Toledo managed just one hit in the series finale, losing 5-0 and finishing the week 2-4. Indianapolis’ Connor Wietgrefe retired the first 13 batters he faced. Brett Callahan broke up the perfect game with a one-out double in the fifth. He made it to third after tagging […]
Breaking down Detroit’s Day 2 picks in the 2026 MLB draft
The second day of the 2026 MLB draft is underway, and this is where the Tigers can get some good value. Remember, Tarik Skubal went in the ninth round, and Kerry Carpenter was a 19th-rounder, so some of these guys have a chance to make big impacts in Detroit. It’s rare to see players picked […]
Tigers slide into All-Star Break with second straight loss
The finale and rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Phillies in Detroit promised a sensational showdown of starting pitchers. The game lived up to its billing for a while, but a decisive inning filled with infield singles proved the difference in a 5-0 Phillies win. In the white-and-navy corner was Tarik Skubal, […]

Tigers look to take rubber match from Phillies heading into All-Star break
The Detroit Tigers’ six-game win streak came to an end on Saturday evening at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, inside Comerica Park. Casey Mize just did not have it this time around, and while Eduardo Valencia continued to prove that he belongs in the big leagues, the offense just could not get anything […]
Charlie Christensen spins a gem in Whitecaps victory, Cale Wetwiska shows out for Lakeland
Toledo Mud Hens 4, Indianapolis Indians 3 (box) The Hens got really pretty good pitching in this one despite a dire lack of offense considering they drew 12 walks in this game. They can split the series now with a victory on Sunday. Max Clark led off the game with a walk and took second […]
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 […]
