Yordan Alvarez’s lingering hand soreness has continued to bother the Astros slugger this spring, yet Alvarez took a noteworthy step today when he hit the batting cage to take some soft-toss swings.

LAKELAND, Fla. — Spencer Torkelson was so enthused to see his line drive fall into open territory in left-center field that he could have floated into second base.

With the first phase of spring camp now over, and a number of Detroit Tigers’ regulars now off to play in the World Baseball Classic, it’s time for some roster trimming to set up the final battles for various roles. And after a blessedly quiet set of injury reports early on, the Tigers have a
In retrospect, the Detroit Tigers 2021 season looks like an odd blip on the radar in the midst of a long period of extremely dismal baseball. Breakouts and career best seasons were abundant as the club posted its best record since 2016 and played good baseball after an awful stretch from mid-April to mid-May. One
BRADENTON, Fla. — So many Tigers are playing multiple positions this year that it’s hard to discern which player has the most gloves in camp. Unlike past Spring Trainings, there’s no Don Kelly or Niko Goodrum with seven or eight gloves stacked in his locker in this camp. Ask Ryan Kreidler about his glove count,
LAKELAND, Fla. — Riley Greene stepped to the plate Sunday against Twins starter Pablo López and took three called strikes, all different pitches, in his first at-bat.

LAKELAND, Fla. — The first-pitch curveball Matthew Boyd flipped over the plate Tuesday on Cardinals top prospect Jordan Walker was slow enough that it could have drawn dirty looks on Interstate 4 nearby. “If you look over my years, nobody really swings at a first-pitch curveball from me. It’s a free strike,” Boyd explained afterwards.

LAKELAND, Fla. — Last spring’s Tigers prospect contingent had an obvious focus with Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene both closing in on their Major League debuts.
