The recent rash of injuries to Detroit Tigers position players led the club on Wednesday to formally select the contract of Jacob Robson. So who is Detroit’s newest outfielder, and what can he do on the baseball field?
Late on Wednesday evening, shortly after the Detroit Tigers had taken a 5-0 lead over the Baltimore Orioles, NBC Sports Washington writer Pete Hailey decided to send a very dumb Tweet: Watching Os-Tigers and realizing how little I’ve thought about the Detroit freaking Tigers in my life. What a boring franchise. Have they mattered since…
As the injuries pile up again, the Detroit Tigers are busily making roster moves. The latest is the promotion of outfielder Jacob Robson from Triple-A Toledo. He’ll be active for the Tigers game with the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday afternoon. The Tigers have moved starting pitcher Matthew Boyd to the 60-day injured list temporarily in
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Columbus Clippers 4 (box) It was an eventful night down in Columbus. Hens starter Drew Hutchison was pulled in the middle of the second inning, with the intention of calling him up to start for the Tigers on Sunday. Christin Stewart continued the outrageous tear he’s on, Daz Cameron returned from
Though the Tigers did not get on the board until the fifth inning of Wednesday’s win over the Baltimore Orioles, it was apparent early that they were in control. They loaded the bases in both the first and third innings but failed to scratch any runs across — until Miguel Cabrera put himself one longball
The Miguel Cabrera home run chase has reached the last stop before 500. Facing Baltimore Orioles’ right-hander Matt Harvey, the big man led off the fifth inning of Wednesday’s contest in Camden Yards by turning on a 78 mph curveball and lofted it over the left field wall. In the process, Cabrera’s 499th career home
Well it’s deja vu all over again. Wednesday night’s matchup in Baltimore is a re-run of their July 30 meeting in Detroit. Things didn’t do so well for the Tigers in that one. Instead, they lost 4-3 as tonight’s starter, Tarik Skubal, allowed three home runs, four earned runs total in the losing effort. Three
Toledo Mud Hens 9, Columbus Clippers 4 (box) Starter Ricardo Pinto had a shaky night, giving up four runs in six innings of work, but it didn’t matter much. A six run fourth inning propelled the Hens to a comfortable victory, as they added on a pair of runs late for insurance. The lineup struggled
This was a long, strange, eventful night in Camden Yards. Initially the game was delayed about two hours for an absolute deluge that had both dugouts flooded and the beat writers posting ominous pictures of the murky skies. When things finally got underway, the game moved pretty briskly until a scary moment for the Tigers

In the series against Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers saw their defense cost them the series in the rubber match on Sunday as Zach Short’s two errors allowed for Cleveland to come back in the game. As a collective, the Tigers are -17 in DRS at shortstop.
The major Detroit Tigers news of the past week was the two-year extension signed by Jonathan Schoop. The move felt bigger than the actual scale of the two-year, $15M pact. Indeed, it’s widely being taken as a sign that the club will finally pursue some serious free agent help and lay the foundation for an
Back when I started the Detroit Tigers Minor League Report, I spent time looking at World Series winners and the core of teams I grew watching. Since the Tigers have drafted high in the last four seasons, there is a good chance a good amount of a potential World Series-winning team would be built with…
The Tigers fell just short of a series win — and chance to close the gap in the standings — against Cleveland, but it was still a respectable showing overall. Detroit continues to play fairly solid baseball, and this upcoming series represents a great chance to earn a few more wins. While the Tigers creep
Some minor league players just jump off a stats page. For the West Michigan Whitecaps, outfielder Eric De La Rosa has been one of those guys this year. Few, if any, Detroit Tigers prospect lists would’ve included De La Rosa before the season. Then again he was hitting well under .150 as a 22 year
There was a segment of the fan base that wanted Jonathan Schoop gone, no matter the cost. Their reasoning was fairly sound—they felt a player on a one-year deal would not be a part of the next Detroit Tigers contender.
Nashville Sounds 4, Toledo Mud Hens 2 (box) Well it didn’t go well for the Hens over the past week. The offense was held down on Sunday in a 4-2 loss, and as a result, the Sounds took the series five games to two. Things got off to a promising start. Kody Clemens struck out
The Detroit Tigers have been a much better team over the past three months than they have been at any time in the past five seasons. From May 8, 2021 through August 7, 2021, their 44- 34 won-loss record is fifth in the American league, which would be just about good enough for a wild
The two heavyweight teams traded killer blows for the first two games of the brutal, three-game early-August showdown. Who would, on Sunday, be crowned the series victor, the ultimate champion of the baseball world? Aww, who am I kidding? This is the AL Central. We’re flyweights at best around here; maybe welterweights if we’ve just
