After a month of covering minor league ball around the Detroit Tigers’ farm system, it’s time to step back for a quick overview. For the most part we’ll focus on the bigger names, but there are a few pop-ups to mention as well. Overall, things have looked pretty good. There are a few key disappointments
Well it’s been a whirlwind of injuries and roster decisions this past week, unfortunately. The Tigers went 2-4 since last Sunday, lost Spencer Turnbull and Michael Fulmer, got Jose Ureña back, and finally designated JaCoby Jones for assignment. Now they return home for a series with the Seattle Mariners starting Tuesday, and then welcome in

The Chicago White Sox took the rubber match of the series against the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on Sunday afternoon. In the getaway game, the offense of the Tigers must’ve taken the early bird flight out of O’Hare. José Ureña came off the injured list to make his 11th start of the season and looked okay
The Detroit Tigers, who have seen injuries to the pitching staff already to Julio Teheran, Urena, and Spencer Turnbull over the weekend, took another blow with Michael Fulmer heading to the IL with a right shoulder strain.
The Detroit Tigers continued their weekend roster shuffle on Sunday morning, announcing that righthander Michael Fulmer was placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to June 3 with a right shoulder strain.

The Detroit Tigers broke out of a funk against the Chicago White Sox on Saturday afternoon behind a strong showing by Tarik Skubal and Eric Haase, who helped lift the team to a 4-3 win. On Sunday, they look to do it one more time to split the four-game set with American League Central Division

Detroit Tigers catcher Eric Haase hit two home runs today, giving him seven on the season in just 70 plate appearances. Every season is full of surprises, and Eric Haase being one of the hottest hitters in baseball certainly qualifies. It’s far too soon to declare Haase the next J.D. Martinez, but that doesn’t mean…
Well, for a month or so, the Detroit Tigers have had it going on the pitching side. The offense has improved, but remains mediocre at best, but the rotation has been pretty strong, and the addition of Michael Fulmer as a full-time reliever really tied the backend of the bullpen together. All that is now
Winning is more fun than losing, which basically goes without saying, but I think it goes deeper than that. Exciting, close baseball games like this one are a lot more engaging than one-sided affairs with a runaway lead. I guess, unless your team has the runaway lead. This game was just a lot of fun
Lately it’s been Jonathan Schoop and Eric Haase delivering the power, but you can only keep the big fella down so long. The Tigers needed some add-on runs for a tired bullpen after Tarik Skubal’s excellent outing on Saturday, and Miguel Cabrera delivered for them. In the top of the sixth inning, with the Tigers

Simple questions don’t always have simple answers as much as we’d prefer them. A possibly meaningless throwaway line in a mock draft released this week did spur this question: Are the Tigers looking at this upcoming third overall draft choice as a chance at a big hack at a home run selection or looking to…
Friday night was a rough one for Detroit Tigers fans as their team played a hard-fought match with the Chicago White Sox but came out on the losing end, 9-8. The defeat was not the worst part, however. Also lost was Spencer Turnbull, who left the game in the fourth inning with forearm tightness. The
The Detroit Tigers minor league system has seen some recent promotions across the board and a few of them made their impact on Friday night. In a bullpen start for Toledo, Ian Krol and Angel De Jesus, fresh from his call up from Erie, combined for four innings of scoreless relief, striking out five but…
The Tigers don’t hold the top pick in the 2021 MLB draft, but they’re still neatly positioned to pick up plenty of good amateur talent this summer. Detroit holds the 3rd, 32nd, and 39th picks in the draft, which combine for a tidy sum of $11,385,300 of slot value. In other words, if the team
