You notice progress, ever so slightly, in each of Jackson Jobe’s successive starts in 2022. Jobe threw a season-high five innings Friday at Dunedin and got the victory as Single-A Lakeland whipped the Dunedin Blue Jays, 7-1. In those five innings, a 19-year-old, right-handed starter a year out of high school, allowed four hits and
We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after his Tigers are limited to two hits in a 6-0 loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday. #Leinenkugels
The SeaWolves dropped the series finale to the Richmond Flying Squirrels by a 5-4 final in 10 innings on Sunday afternoon at The Diamond. The loss drops the SeaWolves to two games back of the Squirrels in the Southwest Division with 12 games to play in the first half. The The SeaWolves dropped the series
On a day meant for celebration and joy the cold-hearted Toronto Blue Jays played to win and spoiled the party. How incredibly rude, and on Miguel Cabrera Day no less! A four-run fourth inning ruined a strong start for Detroit’s starter Tarik Skubal and the bullpen let the game slip further away late in the
Voting for the 2022 MLB All-Star game has begun, and the Detroit Tigers, with their current record of 24-34, aren’t likely to get a ton of representation on the American League roster once again. Their past few All-Star nods have gone to relievers, and that could very well happen again this season.
As part of our celebration of Miguel Cabrera’s 3,000th hit, we had Victor Martinez present the milestone baseball from the moment.
Detroit — There are days, and no doubt Friday was one of them, when Alex Wilson feels that old itch again. “I still think I could get an out or three,” he said, though he hasn’t recorded an out in professional baseball since 2019. But there he was Friday night, back on the mound at Comerica
Michael Fulmer didn’t give up a run in his first 10 outings this season. The Detroit Tigers setup man logged 10⅓ innings, striking out eight batters and walking two. But still, something didn’t feel right — his slider didn’t have the depth or the bite it was supposed to have. His velocity was down. So he
Detroit — Sometimes you have to bite the bullet and take a short-term hit for long-term growth. That’s essentially what Michael Fulmer did. He made 10 straight scoreless appearances to start the season, but he knew things weren’t right. He knew he wouldn’t be able to sustain that success unless he made some significant changes — especially
With his 0-for-4 performance against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera dropped his batting average this season to .291. Cabrera has been flirting with hitting .300 all season — his average topped out at .326 on April 23, as he picked up career hit No. 3,000, then fell as

He had two more hits Saturday evening for Single-A Lakeland, which pumped Roberto Campos’ batting average for June to .382 — with on-base (.488) and slugging (.500) tag-ons contributing to an OPS of .988. Peel back to games beginning May 26 and Campos is batting .332. So, this is why the Tigers three years ago gave Campos
If Michael Pineda could pitch in games without his slider, he might jump at the opportunity. That’s not happening, but Pineda is eager to return to the starting rotation and needs his slider to do so. The Detroit Tigers placed the 33-year-old right-hander on the injured list May 15 with a right middle finger fracture. The day
The Detroit Tigers struck back on Saturday afternoon with a big win over the Toronto Blue Jays at home behind a spectacular effort by rookie Beau Brieske. The young hurler tossed 5 2⁄3 innings of shutout ball allowing seven hits and no walks while striking out two. Meanwhile, the offense got rolling behind Victor Reyes
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch talked late Friday night about the fans and shortstop Javier Báez. The Tigers are losing too many baseball games, and Báez is chasing nearly every down-and-away slider. Fans aren’t pleased. “We are not going anywhere without the production of Javy Báez, whether it’s this series, this season or in the
With his 0-for-4 performance against the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera dropped his batting average this season to .291. Cabrera has been flirting with hitting .300 all season — his average topped out at .326 on April 23, as he picked up career hit No. 3,000, then fell as
GRAND RAPIDS — Ty Madden, the Detroit Tigers‘ No. 5 prospect according to MLB Pipeline, has turned into the gift that keeps giving. “I heard a little secret,” I said to him. “Your manager told me you got all your catchers a pair of shoes.” Madden’s face had a strange look. “I didn’t know we
It’s not easy for rookies to hit the ground running — and that has been especially true the last couple of years. With the Minor League season canceled in 2020 and shortened in ’21, plus a spate of big league injuries accelerating the timetables of various prospects, one can understand if players need a few
GAME RECAP (Toledo, OH): After a walk off win in last night’s outing, the Toledo Mud Hens were looking to increase their 4-0 series lead, to five straight wins. The Coon Rapids, Minnesota native, RHP Logan Shore took the mound this evening for Toledo, looking for his third winning decision GAME RECAP (Toledo, OH): After
