The Detroit Tigers benched Miguel Cabrera before the seventh inning of Monday’s game as a precaution because of back tightness. He then missed Tuesday’s game, and before manager AJ Hinch could submit Wednesday’s lineup card, the game was postponed. The status of the 38-year-old’s health remains unclear. His back tightened up after he fell at first base

Daz Cameron looked a lot like a big leaguer Tuesday afternoon. He went 3-for-3 with one walk in the Detroit Tigers’ 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park. He then offered detailed responses to the media after the game, discussing his confidence, low batting average against left-handed pitchers and desire to win. Overall, the 24-year-old appeared

The Detroit Tigers and Chicago White Sox postponed Wednesday’s game, scheduled for 1:10 p.m., because of rain at Comerica Park in Detroit.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo isn’t his best against left-handed pitching, but the rookie hopes to change that moving forward. Manager AJ Hinch gave Baddoo, a lefty hitter, his latest challenge with 11 games remaining: Chicago White Sox left-hander Dallas Keuchel, the 2015 American League Cy Young, 2017 World Series champion and two-time All-Star over his 10-year career.

When Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch replaced Miguel Cabrera with Harold Castro before the seventh inning, he didn’t necessarily expect the utility player to take on the role of a hero in Monday’s series opener against the Chicago White Sox.

Anthony Gose last saw MLB action on May 15, 2016. The next time he suits up he’ll have completed a comeback from position player to pitcher, and that appearance seems imminent; Cleveland promoted the 31-year-old left-hander to the majors, per multiple reports on Monday. Gose was a second-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies out of Bellflower High School

It’s a bit trite, but what a difference a year makes. In sports, we’re fond of cherry-picking arbitrary dates as milestones to look back on, like saying “6-3 in their past nine games,“ “63-54 since May 8” or “72-78 since Opening Day.” We’ve certainly been guilty of it on the Detroit Tigers beat this season,
