DETROIT — Franklin Pérez’s quest to try to get back to the pitching prospect he once was will continue in the Tigers’ organization. The team announced Friday that it had re-signed the oft-injured right-hander to a Minor League contract, shortly after he cleared unconditional release waivers. The new deal completes a busy week for Pérez,
Detroit — It must’ve felt like getting a new, shiny toy for Christmas and then having someone tell you not to play with it. Tigers rookie Tarik Skubal went to Driveline Baseball in Kent, Washington, this winter and in the span of two days learned and added a split-fingered fastball to his repertoire. He’d been searching
Let’s be honest, interleague games are a lot of fun. They’re a nice little mix-up mid-season when you get to see a team you don’t typically face (especially nice after seeing division rivals 19 times a year each), and the even bigger bonus is if it’s not the Pittsburgh Pirates (no shade to the Pirates,

Toledo Mud Hens 6, Indianapolis Indians 5 (box) Wily Peralta’s start was a short one on Thursday, as Indy dropped five runs on him in the second inning to knock him from the contest. Ultimately though, good work from the bullpen gave the offense room to reel them in. The Hens got on the board
The Mud Hens overcame a rough start by Wily Peralta, who only went one inning, allowing four hits and a pair of home runs. The bullpen allowed Toledo to come back, pitching eight shutout innings among five relievers including Buck Farmer in his first appearance for the Mud Hens since 2017 as Toledo won 6…
For Triple-A Toledo, catcher Eric Haase started the eighth inning Tuesday with a double for the Mud Hens. Despite only two players available on the bench, Toledo manager Tom Prince sent Brady Policelli to pinch-run. “What the heck are we doing here?” Haase, 28, said he thought to himself. Well, Detroit Tigers backup catcher Grayson Greiner
ERIE, Pa. — Imagine being a dad. A baseball dad.

ERIE, Pa. — Almost perfect. The Detroit Tigers’ Double-A farm team, the Erie SeaWolves, was almost perfect on Wednesday night — at least through six innings. Two Erie pitchers combined for a perfect start: 18 up, 18 down. Riley Greene, one of the most important prospects in the Tigers’ system, was almost perfect, going 3-for-4
Playing Metallica, Dropkick Murphys or AC/DC over the stadium loudspeakers isn’t enough. It takes a certain type of pitcher to close out a tight ballgame. What is required is one or two elite pitches and a mindset that won’t wilt under pressure. The role of the closer has evolved over time from the multi-inning masters
Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull isn’t sure what happened. A positive COVID-19 test barred him from joining the Tigers until April 21, but his first start went well. He tossed five innings of one-run ball in his return. After that, his confidence lacked, and the results weren’t pretty: He gave up 11 runs (nine earned) across
Detroit — There’s still miles to go, mind you. But sweeping the Kansas City Royals and winning four straight games is a solid step toward stability, if not full recovery. The Tigers took that step with a 4-3 win on Thursday, extending the reeling Royals’ losing streak to 11 in the process. “It’s just such a different

Detroit — Niko Goodrum led off the eighth inning Wednesday night with a walk. The Tigers, who had blown a seven-run lead the night before, were clinging to a skinny two-run margin and an add-on run would look mighty favorable. Goodrum was eyeing second base with bad intent. On the mound, though, was Royals’ hard-throwing right-hander
