New Detroit Tigers outfielder Max Clark has already made some adjustments. The 18-year-old, hitting too many balls on the ground, decided he needed to change the mechanics of his swing last winter — following an up-and-down summer in which he learned to deal with failure — and bought into the process. When that happened, Clark

Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris is nothing if not consistent. Since he took over the Tigers in October, he has preached the same mantra: We want hitters — guys who are smart at the plate, swing at strikes, can make adjustments and do some serious damage. And that’s how he approached the

The Detroit Tigers, for the fifth time in six seasons, will make a top five pick when the 2023 MLB draft gets underway Sunday evening in Seattle. The Tigers have the third overall pick and are expected to select from a trio of candidates depending on Pittsburgh’s and Washington’s picks at Nos. 1 and 2:

The 2023 MLB draft is upon us and, as always, it inspires a bit of dreaming over what the Detroit Tigers could unearth with their 21 picks, beginning at 7 p.m. Sunday at Lumen Field in Seattle. Although the MLB draft is much more hit-or-miss than the three other pro drafts during the summer, it

This is a monster month for Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris. He will run his first draft for the Tigers starting Sunday night. The trade deadline approaches on Aug. 1. And at some point, he’ll have to make some big decisions about some prospects. Namely, when is he going to start calling

It might not be the challenge Detroit Tigers fans would like to see this season, but prospects Colt Keith and Justyn-Henry Malloy acquitted themselves well in their appearances in the MLB All-Star Futures Game on Saturday night at T-Mobile Park in Seattle. Keith and Malloy, who have been teammates for approximately two weeks with Triple-A

The Detroit Tigers on Saturday threw the ninth no-hitter in franchise history in a 2-0 win over Toronto at Comerica Park and first-ever with multiple pitchers. Yet neither of the team’s regular play-by-play men were on the call when third baseman Zach McKinstry fielded a slow chopper from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and threw to Spencer

As we’re reminded annually, there are no sure things in the MLB draft, whether you’re picking first, 30th or third, as the Detroit Tigers will on Sunday night in Seattle (thanks to a win in December’s first-ever MLB draft lottery). It’s the fifth time the Tigers have had the third overall pick in the draft,

Infielder Jonathan Schoop, an 11-year MLB veteran, has been designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers ahead of the All-Star break, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Alek Manoah stepped onto an MLB mound in a game Friday for the first time since June 5, when a terrible start promoted a rare demotion to the Florida Complex League. A month-long absence to fix his delivery in the minors, as well as the optimal opponent for a strong return

The Detroit Tigers have been desperate for productive left-handed hitters. Outfielder Akil Baddoo, a left-handed hitter with a 14.3% walk rate, returned from the injured list Friday and started in left field for the series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park. Riley Greene, another lefty hitting outfielder, is slated to return from

Jake Rogers was sitting in front of his locker in the Detroit Tigers clubhouse. “What does it mean to get all these guys back?” I asked him. Rogers leaned back in his chair and broke into a smile. “The boys are back together,” he said on Thursday afternoon after the Tigers’ 9-0 victory over the

There have been countless iconic images that represent Detroit sports over the last century. There’s Magglio Ordóñez rounding the bases after a walk-off home run to send the Detroit Tigers to the World Series, Steve Yzerman raising the Stanley Cup to end the Detroit Red Wings‘ 42-year drought, Isiah Thomas and the Bad Boys celebrating

Detroit Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen, who will represent the organization at the All-Star Game in Seattle on Tuesday, kept the Oakland Athletics from scoring through five innings in Thursday’s series finale.

The Detroit Tigers were blown out by the Oakland Athletics in Wednesday’s 12-3 loss, but center fielder Riley Greene picked up five hits in five plate appearances Wednesday in the second game of his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo. The 22-year-old served as the Mud Hens’ designated hitter. Greene, who suffered a stress reaction in

Eduardo Rodriguez’s return was bittersweet. I’ve always enjoyed covering the Detroit Tigers left-hander. He’s not only a very good pitcher, but he’s also a good talker who answers questions thoughtfully and intelligently without getting too wrapped up in the kind of technical minutia of pitching mechanics that makes my eyes roll back into my skull.
