Joey Wentz was pitching too well this spring to keep him down long anyway. In the end, an injury to right-hander Michael Lorenzen left an opening for at least the first turn through the Detroit Tigers’ starting rotation. On Friday, manager A.J. Hinch announced that Wentz will break camp with the major league club for

By the start of the 1960 season, Major League Baseball had been deeply established as a staple of American culture, with teams playing the game from coast to coast and many major cities in between. Star baseball players were icons, while sports like football, basketball, and hockey were still far behind in popularity. In Part

Last Friday’s contest against the New York Yankees had something on the line for Matt Manning. After a third straight season saw him beset by minor arm trouble, the 25-year-old right-hander and the Detroit Tigers pitching coaches had a lot to clean up this spring. His early Grapefruit League outings didn’t inspire much confidence. But

When the Tigers traded Gregory Soto to the Phillies in January for a package of players that included Matt Vierling, it’s reasonable if you weren’t fired up to get a 26-year-old outfielder who had an on-base-percentage below .300 last season. While I’m not here to tell you that you’re wrong and that Vierling is a

There’s still a week left to go, but the Detroit Tigers’ spring camp has generally been a success. Of course, that’s a dubious distinction as these games don’t count. What really matters is that they’ve had precious few injuries so far. Knock on wood. That’s what counts as success at this point in the season.

Other than Miguel Cabrera himself, no player in the Detroit Tigers’ organization is longer tenured than the man known as Red Bull. Spencer Turnbull was drafted out of Alabama way back in 2014 with their second round selection. For four years he worked his way through the farm system dealing with minor injuries and bouts

With a new season ahead of us, it seemed like a good time to look back at the origins of the game as an organized sport. Typically we tell the story of the game in terms of specific players and teams, but the organizing structures, the clubs and leagues of pro baseball’s early years, formed

Well it’s been quiet on the Detroit Tigers injury front this spring. Too quiet, as it turns out. On Thursday, the club announced that 2021 first round pick Jackson Jobe has been diagnosed with lumbar spine inflammation and will be shut down from three to six months before beginning a rehabilitation program. There’s a good

Reliever Chasen Shreve came the Detroit Tigers spring camp knowing there were bullpen openings for left-handers in particular. The departure of Gregory Soto in the offseason trade with the Philadelphia Phillies left a pretty big hole. In Soto’s wake, Tyler Alexander was the only southpaw reliever with a claim on the active roster. Shreve isn’t

Despite a generally positive spring camp so far for the Detroit Tigers, a quiet offseason in terms of free agents and the pervasive fear surrounding Spencer Torkelson have harshed the vibe, as it were. Concern is justified, but the miserable pessimism has gotten a bit out of hand in some quarters. What’s the point of

As the final roster battles start to take shape in spring training, playing time is at a premium and the cuts in major league camp start coming fast and furious. On Tuesday, the Tigers sent four prospects down to minor league camp. The group is headed by outfielder Parker Meadows and includes infielder Andre Lipcius,

One of the clearest manifestations of a whole new way of doing business for the Detroit Tigers under Scott Harris has been the lengthy list of waiver claims and minor league free agent signings over the past five months. The “roster churn” as it were, is a good sign that the club is leaving no

With just over two weeks left until Opening Day, the Detroit Tigers roster battles are still just starting to take shape. While most of the everyday players are locked in, there are still plenty of question marks in the infield and for the fourth outfielder spot. Meanwhile the bullpen still feels largely up in the
