Options for the Tigers to replace Jahmai Jones
Well, we had some good times in 2025. Lefty masher Jahmai Jones seized that role from Andy Ibáñez, hero of the 2024 AL Wild Card series win over the Houston Astros, last year and he ran with it. This year it just isn’t happening, and while it’s easy to give up on a bench bat […]
Kevin McGonigle walks off the Mariners
After a tense afternoon that saw the Tigers forced to come back repeatedly to keep pace with the Mariners, they reached the ninth inning still down a run. The Mariners ran themselves into a pair of dumb outs on the bases with Will Vest on the mound, and that set the stage. The back of […]
Tarik Skubal’s rehab in West Michigan went perfectly
There was a Tarik Skubal party in Comstock Park on Sunday. The Detroit Tigers’ ace took the mound for a rehab outing against the Dayton Dragons, the Cincinnati Reds’ High-A affiliate. Huge crowds turned out on a beautiful, sunny day, and Skubal did not disappoint. He appeared fully on track to rejoin the Tigers’ rotation […]

Detroit Tigers look to take rubber match vs Seattle Mariners on Sunday
All good things must come to an end, they say, and that applies to the Detroit Tigers as well. On Saturday afternoon, their four-game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Seattle Mariners, who used some hard contact to hand Keider Montero and Co. a 4-0 loss at Comerica Park. Never […]
Hao-Yu Lee homers twice as Hens split doubleheader, Brett Callahan homers again for Erie
Iowa Cubs 7, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (Gm1)(F/7)(box) The Hens swung the bats well in Game 1 but Dylan File took a beating from the Cubs. The right-hander gave up seven runs, six earned on 10 hits and a walk, with five strikeouts. Hao-Yu Lee opened the scoring in the top of the first with […]
Mariners pitching smothers Tigers bats to even the series
Bryce Miller one-hit the Tigers over six innings of work, while Keider Montero had a bit of a rough day on the mound. The Tigers’ bats were quiet all afternoon, failing to take advantage of good work from their bullpen, as the Mariners evened the series at a game apiece with a 4-0 victory on […]

Detroit Tigers look to clinch second-straight series win vs Seattle Mariners
The Detroit Tigers extended their win streak to four games on Friday night with a 7-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners, remaining perfect in the month of June so far. Framber Valdez gave his team five innings of one-run ball, the bullpen did its job, and the offense continued to produce crooked numbers. This squad […]
Whitecaps walk off Dayton, Callahan and Peck homer for Erie
Toledo Mud Hens 8, Iowa Cubs 4 (box) The Hens bullpen had a good night as the lineup build a nice lead, and the pen shut the Cubs down for much of the game. On another rainy day in the region, a planned doubleheader was switched to a single game, with the doubleheader to make […]
Carpenter and Torkelson help extend Tigers’ winning streak
The Tigers have extended their winning streak to four, and it’s starting to look like it’s not just luck. They beat the Mariners 7-3 on Friday night. The Tigers were back in Detroit after a very hot and cold road trip. They were still riding the high of their sweep of the Rays at the […]

Framber Valdez’s confusing lack of ground balls
Like so much of the Detroit Tigers’ 2026 season, Framber Valdez hasn’t exactly worked out as planned. Signed to a backloaded 3 year, $115M deal with an opt out after 2027, Valdez was supposed to stabilize a rotation that had Reese Olson injured and Jack Flaherty a total wildcard coming into the season. More importantly, […]
Detroit Tigers head home to host Seattle Mariners for 3-game series
Suddenly, being a Detroit Tigers fan is fun again! Who knows how long it will last, but the Olde English D is coming off a three-game sweep of the best team in the American League, the Tampa Bay Rays — at Tropicana Field, no less. AJ Hinch and Co. look to keep things rolling back […]
Izaac Pacheco homers twice in Erie victory, Witherspoon struggles in Lakeland
Toledo Mud Hens at Iowa Cubs (postponed) They’ll play two on Friday starting at 5:38 p.m. ET after they were rained out on Thursday. Erie SeaWolves 5, Richmond Flying Squirrels 1 (b0x) Carlos Peña and the SeaWolves bullpen pitched a gem while their power at the plate produced enough runs to provide a nice cushion. […]
Max Clark and Eduardo Valencia homer in Hens romp, Andrew Sears rehabs in West Michigan
Toledo Mud Hens 10, Iowa Cubs 2 (box) Max Clark homered for the second straight day and the Hens crushed the Cubs again with a strong effort from the bullpen as well. Troy Watson made a short start and did quite well against a pretty good Cubs lineup. He blanked them on three hits and […]
Tigers sweep with a dazzling Melton start and another Dingler homer
The Tigers did the seemingly impossible on Wednesday afternoon as they wrapped up their series against the American League’s top team with a sweep, winning 7-2. I’d be very curious to know if someone in the Tigers’ front office has promised their firstborn child to an Etsy witch, or something, because I don’t know who […]

Detroit Tigers News: Tarik Skubal rehab, trade rumors, MLB CBA, Elly De La Cruz, Dodgers
Happy Wednesday everyone, and it is indeed a happy day because the Tigers have won two games in a row, Jack Flaherty had a shutout, and no matter what happens today, they have won their series against the Rays. It feels good to be watching fun baseball again! Of course, this only muddies the water […]
Detroit Tigers go for sweep against Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday
Don’t look now, but the Detroit Tigers are undefeated in June after their 8-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Tuesday night. Sure, the month is only two days old, but the Motor City Kitties have already scored as many runs (18) over the past pair of games as they did […]
Mud Hens crush Cubs as Justin Verlander rehabs
Toledo Mud Hens 16, Iowa Cubs 1 (box) With Justin Verlander on the mound, the Mud Hens’ offense honored their famous temp by absolutely mauling Cubs’ pitching on Tuesday. Verlander, sidelined after one start this spring with a hip issue, looked pretty good. He had no trouble at all with the Cubs, scattering three singles […]
Tigers swinging hot bats in shutout win over Rays
The Tigers are on a roll with a 8-0 victory over the Rays on Tuesday night. It’s unclear what has gotten into the Tigers, but I’m not mad at it, and I don’t think any of their fans are either. While the Tigers did cut it very close in Monday night’s game against the Rays, […]

Tigers try to make it two in a row against Rays on Tuesday
The Detroit Tigers opened up June with a white-knuckle 10-9 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in St. Petersburg, as one of the worst teams in the majors took down the top squad in the American League. AJ Hinch’s squad went wire-to-wire in the victory, but the team nearly collapsed in characteristic fashion in the […]
