Spencer Torkelson and Zack Short stepped up with clutch hits in the final two innings, but Andy Ibáñez — a waiver claim from president of baseball operations Scott Harris in the offseason — helped the Detroit Tigers snap a nine-game losing streak Monday with his offense and defense. “This is going to be the beginning,”

The Detroit Economic Club hosted the Detroit Tigers at the MotorCity Casino Hotel on Tuesday for their annual luncheon, and first-year president of baseball operations Scott Harris showed face at the event.

Left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin, the most reliable member of the Detroit Tigers‘ bullpen last season, returned to Comerica Park over the weekend with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old could have stayed with the Tigers, but this past November, he declined his player option that would have paid him $6.5 million for the 2023 season in

The Detroit Tigers were on the brink of losing 10 games in a row. Andy Ibáñez, who had a single, double, home run and walk, saved the Tigers from what had the potential to become their fourth shutout through 10 games in June.

It wasn’t long after the Detroit Tigers’ final at-bat Sunday — no more than 30 minutes, maybe — when Tigers catcher Eric Haase summed up June so far. “It all sucks, you know, it’s all losing, doesn’t really matter at the end of the year, we’re losing by 10 or one,” Haase told the reporters

If Major League Baseball warms to the idea of relegation, it may want to consider an entire division instead of just a single team. Yes, it’s getting that bad in the American League Central. None of its five teams has a winning record and, perhaps most alarmingly, three of them occupy the bottom five positions

With two outs, runners on first and second, and down to his final strike, Arizona’s Christian Walker

The Detroit Tigers made an early change to their pitching plans in the series finale against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday morning. Rather than start left-hander Joey Wentz, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch opted to go with right-handed reliever Will Vest in an “opener” role, lasting no more than a couple innings. Since making his strongest

Inside the sleepy clubhouse Saturday morning, one of the Detroit Tigers passed around a carafe of coffee, the kind used for a pour-over. A strong brew seemed in order for a team looking to awaken from a nightmarish June slumber marked only by defeat. But the Tigers remained comatose, falling to the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-0,

Less than 24 hours after Akil Baddoo suffered a right quadriceps strain in the series opener against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Comerica Park, the Detroit Tigers placed the outfielder on the 10-day injured list, the latest negative development for a club that has yet to a post a victory this month.

Detroit Tigers center fielder Riley Greene, sidelined with a stress reaction in his left fibula, couldn’t watch as the team’s six-game road trip turned into a six-game losing streak — in Chicago and Philadelphia. Literally. Greene couldn’t watch the games because of MLB.TV blackouts. Instead, the 22-year-old listened to Dan Dickerson’s radio calls throughout the trip.

This is Part 2 of the Free Press’ “Five most important players” series, in which we’ll take a look at the x-factors for the six major beats. Freep Tigers beat writer Evan Petzold consulted on this list. If the Detroit Tigers continue suffering injuries at the rate they did last week, this list could become
