What Detroit Tigers right-hander Jose Urena had going for him earlier this season is no more. After signing a one-year, $3.25 million contract in the offseason, the 29-year-old made general manager Al Avila look good. He rattled off seven innings with two earned runs or less — for a 2.25 ERA — in four consecutive starts from
The Detroit Tigers reached the pinnacle of their performance Thursday night when Jose Urena threw his seventh pitch, which generated his fourth out. From that point forward, the Tigers crumbled, and the Houston Astros took advantage. Urena couldn’t complete the fourth inning and has struggled in four consecutive starts. Second baseman Willi Castro made two fielding
If Detroit Tigers veteran Miguel Cabrera had the final say, he would have penciled himself into Thursday’s lineup to face the Houston Astros. Instead, manager AJ Hinch gave the 38-year-old an extra day of rest. Cabrera has now missed two games in a row since exiting Tuesday’s contest with right calf tightness. He is scheduled to return Friday. “Miggy’s down
Detroit Tigers rookie Matt Manning is learning how to pitch in the big leagues. After an overabundance of fastballs in his MLB debut June 17 in Anaheim, it wasn’t surprising that 11 of his 14 pitches in the first inning Wednesday went for fastballs. But Manning, the team’s top pitching prospect, needs to mix all his
AKRON, Ohio — “Let’s go, Dillon!” somebody screamed. Dillon Dingler, the Detroit Tigers‘ No.4 prospect (according to MLB Pipeline), walked to the plate in Canal Park on Wednesday night with the bases loaded and one out against the Double-A Akron RubberDucks. When Dingler was introduced, a loud cheer came from the crowd even though Dingler
When St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina stepped into the batter’s box in the second inning Tuesday, Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers accomplished one of his childhood dreams. “Amazing,” Rogers, 26, said after knocking in three runs during the Tigers’ 8-2 win at Comerica Park. “It was amazing. It was pretty cool to see him back there and watch
Detroit Tigers rookie Matt Manning earned every bit of the standing ovation he received from the fans. Making his Comerica Park debut six days after his MLB debut, Manning guided the Tigers (32-42) into the sixth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals. There’s still plenty for him to work on, but the 23-year-old is holding his
Jonathan Schoop continues to deliver for the Detroit Tigers. He launched his 14th home run of the season, a three-run blast to left field, to cap a six-run fourth inning. The veteran infielder used his bat to help the Tigers chase St. Louis Cardinals starter Johan Oviedo and open the homestand with a victory. The Tigers (31-42) maintained the momentum
Based on wins and losses, the Detroit Tigers are no longer the worst team in baseball. Manager AJ Hinch has led his team to a 22-23 record since the beginning of May, but the Tigers are still worse than the 29 other teams at one position. They have a league-worst minus-15 defensive runs saved — how many runs a player has, or
Detroit Tigers rookie Casey Mize knows what happens next is unavoidable. Despite the 24-year-old right-hander’s rapid development in the big leagues, the Tigers are preparing to limit his workload. While manager AJ Hinch has not made his plan official, the organization knows it needs to protect its young arms from injuries, considering the jump from 60 games
So, how did you spend Matt Manning Night last Thursday? Did you watch the Detroit Tigers on a tablet while nestled in bed, thanks to a 9:38 p.m. first pitch, letting the dulcet tones of Dan Dickerson and Jim Price roll through your clock radio for the Tigers-centric take on the debut of the final
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press Normally, delivering a game-winning hit to end your team’s three-game losing streak would leave an indelible imprint in the mind of a rookie ballplayer. When Daz Cameron looks back at the Detroit Tigers’ 10-inning, 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday, the thing that will
Facing Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani isn’t easy. That’s something the Detroit Tigers learned first-hand this past weekend, as the Ohtani-led Angels sent the Tigers (30-42) back to Comerica Park with some discouraging losses during their four-game clash on the West Coast. “Ohtani can do so much on the field,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. “We’ve seen it
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press The Detroit Tigers salvaged the finale of a four-game series in Anaheim on Sunday. More appropriately, rookie Daz Cameron came to the rescue. Cameron smacked a two-run single in the 10th and the Tigers pulled out a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. SATURDAY NIGHT: Cameron homers
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press Daz Cameron delivered an early Father’s Day present in Anaheim on Saturday. With his father, former major leaguer Mike Cameron, watching from field level seats, the young Detroit Tigers center fielder smacked his second career home run. “For me to hit that homer was something exciting for me,”
Dana Gauruder | Special to the Detroit Free Press The Detroit Tigers have one more game left in Anaheim this weekend. They’ve already seen way too much of Shohei Ohtani. The Los Angeles Angels defeated the Tigers for the third consecutive night and once again, Ohtani played a starring role. He won the series opener on the
Dana Gauruder | Special to Detroit Free Press The Detroit Tigers will be without their top shortstop for at least the next 10 days. Niko Goodrum was placed on the injured list on Saturday with a tendon sprain in his left index finger, with Isaac Paredes recalled from Triple-A Toledo to take his roster spot.
Miguel Cabrera has hurt the Detroit Tigers more than he has helped this season. A 19-year MLB veteran, his presence will always be a positive impact. He is eight home runs away from No. 500 and 92 hits away from No. 3,000 — two historic milestones he seeks to add to an already strong Hall of Fame resume.
