St. Petersburg, Fla. — Not again. The Tigers’ already-battered starting rotation may have taken another hit Wednesday afternoon. Eduardo Rodriguez, the club’s lefty ace, came out of the game after 23 pitches in the first inning with an apparent injury.

St. Petersburg, Fla. — For the past six weeks, as the Tigers dropped a steady stream of 3-2 and 2-1 games, it was natural to wonder about Riley Greene. How might he have changed that day’s scoreboard? Greene had been a stud during Tigers spring camp: .429 batting average in 11 games, a couple of homers,
St. Petersburg, Fla. — Game plans are only as good as those who execute them. The Tigers watched the Rays attack fastballs and chase breaking balls against Alex Faedo Monday night. So on Tuesday, rookie right-hander Beau Brieske was looking to establish his breaking balls early. “It was also based on the way I’m trying to

St. Petersburg, Fla. — The conversation with manager AJ Hinch before the game Tuesday turned into an illuminating discourse on the art and craft of hitting at the big-league level. The central theme was hitters versus swingers. Miguel Cabrera, we can all agree, is a hitter. He can adjust his swing mechanics to react to the variations
Associated Press | The Detroit News Baltimore — Luis Severino allowed one hit in six innings, and Jose Trevino became the first New York catcher with a home run this year when he hit a three-run drive in the fourth to lift the surging Yankees over the Baltimore Orioles 6-2 Monday night.

St. Petersburg, Fla. — According to the Gregorian calendar, which remains a personal favorite, Monday marked 566 days since Al Avila called AJ Hinch to ask if he might want to discuss managing the Detroit Tigers.

St. Petersburg, Fla. — AJ Hinch nailed it before the game. He was asked about rookie Alex Faedo’s anxiety level as he prepared to make his third start and his first ever as a big-leaguer in his hometown, against the team he grew up rooting for. “Honestly, I think the people around him are more nervous
St. Petersburg, Fla. — At some point, Derek Hill might want to ask somebody on the Major League rules committee where exactly he’s supposed to run when he’s trying to beat out a bunt. “Nah, I don’t want no part of that,” he said before the game Monday. Back on April 29 in Los Angeles, he was
Detroit — The Tigers started the day comfortably with five available outfielders. By the third inning, two of them were out of the game and destined for the injured list. Makes it tough to enjoy a series sweep when you keep getting bitten by a snake. “We feel like we’re in a good place and we’re
Detroit – Two more outfielders went down, an inning apart. Another starting pitcher went down the previous day. The Tigers kept losing pieces, as the season teetered. At some point, you have to forget what you’re missing and lean on what you have left. On Sunday, the Tigers offered a reminder of what they might
Detroit — Austin Meadows was looking forward to getting home to Tampa, seeing if his house was still standing and maybe do some damage against his former team. “Be nice to get my first homer (of the season) there,” he said, laughing before the game Sunday. Mostly, he was hoping to get on his boat and
Detroit — Robbie Grossman, already in a full sweat after early work at 10:30 Sunday morning, sat quietly at his locker, scrolling around on his phone. Few in the Tigers’ clubhouse are as ready for a nine-game road trip than he is. “Can’t wait,” he said. Hitting in spacious Comerica Park, especially in the chilly April
We interrupt this regularly scheduled programming, which was to have been an update on Ty Madden’s mastery at Single-A West Michigan, to pass on this news bulletin: Madden hasn’t been pitching all that well for the Whitecaps. Still, to hear Brayan Pena talk, Madden’s 5.01 ERA and 1.32 WHIP are no big deals. “He has
It’s Sunday morning, and Brayan Pena, the West Michigan Whitecaps manager, is in his clubhouse office at Comstock Park, just outside of Grand Rapids, ready to answer a pressing question as his gang gets ready for an afternoon game against the venerable Beloit Sky Carp: Just what does Wilmer Flores need to do to get
Detroit — The Tigers turned four double-plays, got 7 2/3 innings of scoreless relief pitching including a bounce-back effort from closer Gregory Soto, got timely home runs from Eric Haase and Willi Castro, got two more hits from a surging Miguel Cabrera and beat the Baltimore Orioles, 3-0 Saturday, winning back-to-back games for the first
Detroit — What he should have done was work out a bonus system with Javier Báez and Jonathan Schoop. Like, $500 for every throw he digs out of the dirt and every time he stretches his groin to the snapping point to catch one of their throws. He’d have earned a nice little nest egg by
