When you look at the career of Detroit Tigers right-hander Joe Jimenez, you can describe it as a rollercoaster, similar to former Tigers closer Todd Jones. Many Tigers fans, myself included, thought that Jimenez did not have it anymore after starting the season in Toledo in the alternate camp. Then we saw the two appearances…
During the Second World War, with many of the country’s young men overseas—including its professional athletes—women were asked to step up and join the war efforts. American Women, many of them housewives and mothers, were asked to take on jobs at factories, plants, shipyards, and… on the baseball diamond. Penny Marshall’s A League of Their…

High school players with a first-round projection usually take the money to turn pro. The millions of dollars teams shove at them are hard to turn down; that kind of money can stabilize an uncertain future, not to mention all the fun stuff it can buy in the meantime. Much like in literal gambling, when
PEORIA, IL – The West Michigan Whitecaps found themselves in a pitcher’s duel on the 4th of July, but catcher Pedro Pages provided the late-inning fireworks with a bases-clearing double as part of a 4-1 loss on Sunday night at Dozer Park.

The Detroit Tigers ran into pitching trouble in June, considering right-hander Spencer Turnbull went to the injured list June 5 with a right forearm strain and lefty Matthew Boyd was sidelined June 15 with left arm discomfort. Turnbull and Boyd should return sometime after the All-Star break, but the Tigers have missed their presence. The starting rotation

Detroit Tigers reliever Jose Cisnero could have been an All-Star in 2021. Instead, the other half of the Tigers’ one-two punch out of the bullpen gets to make the trip to Denver. Left-hander Gregory Soto will represent his team on the American League All-Star roster. It’s the 26-year-old’s first All-Star Game in his third MLB season. But

Manager AJ Hinch very nearly did it against Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in spring training, and he said then, don’t be surprised if he uses a four-man outfield at some point this season. That point in the season was Monday in the Tigers’ 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers in their

The first game of a seven-game, seven-day, pre-All-Star-Break road trip, and the first of a three-game series in Texas against the Rangers, saw the Tigers win 7-3, but only after the Rangers scored all their runs with two outs in the ninth. This was Detroit’s first visit to Globe Life Field, not to be confused
Detroit Tigers shortstop Zack Short flailed his bat in frustration, striking out for the sixth straight at-bat during the fifth inning Monday against the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field. That made his sixth-inning home run — the second of his career — a bit sweeter. Short’s two-run shot to center field off Rangers reliever Brett Martin
As Wily Peralta walked off the mound after the seventh inning, catcher Eric Haase jogged out to meet him with a hug and a grin. Even with three innings to go, it was hard not to celebrate the 32-year-old’s performance. As Peralta continues to settle into his starting role with Detroit, his successes have risen
