Cleveland — Not much good seems to happen to the Tigers in this city. It’s bad enough they’ve posted a 7-24 record at Progressive Field since 2017. Bad enough starting pitcher Julio Teheran felt tightness in his right triceps and shoulder while warming up here Friday night and will be lost until June at the

Cleveland – From Jake Rogers and Daz Cameron to John Schreiber, Gregory Soto and Bryan Garcia; from Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal to Akil Baddoo — the Tigers have had a steady stream of big-league debuts over the last couple of years. Twenty-two, to be exact, since 2019. And they are all special, all heartwarming in

Cleveland — Tarik Skubal will have better nights. The rookie left-hander gave up three long home runs in four innings in the Tigers’ 11-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians Saturday night. It was the Tigers’ third straight loss. “What happened tonight was unacceptable,” said Skubal, who just six days ago limited the Indians to two runs

Cleveland — Tarik Skubal will have better nights. The rookie left-hander gave up three long home runs in four innings in the Tigers’ 11-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians Saturday night. It was the Tigers’ third straight loss. Skubal, who limited the Indians to two runs in 5-1/3 innings six days ago, didn’t have the same

Cleveland – It’d be a stretch to call it a curse, but the Tigers’ recent luck with veteran free agent pitcher signings continues to stink. Matt Moore, gone after two starts; Tyson Ross, gone after seven starts; Ivan Nova, gone after four starts. And now Julio Teheran. The Tigers on Saturday placed Teheran on the

Cleveland — You don’t have to explain the humbling nature of baseball to Renato Nunez. After being cut by two of the worst teams in baseball in the span of about five months, he could write a treatise on it. In 203 games over the 2019 and 2020 seasons, Nunez produced 43 home runs and

Cleveland – Not the way you want to start a three-city, 10-game road swing. Right-hander Julio Teheran experienced tightness in his right triceps while warming up for his start Friday night and was officially scratched after the Tigers had batted in the top of the first inning. Lefty Derek Holland got the emergency call and

Cleveland — The Tigers relievers, as is their custom, strode out to the bullpen single-file while starting pitcher Julio Teheran completed his warm-ups Friday night. Typically, the relievers wait and fist-bump with him on his way to the dugout. But Teheran kept throwing and throwing. Finally, the relivers gave it up and trudged up the

Cleveland — The open date is sitting there, kind of ominously — April 19. The Tigers will have just completed a 10-game road trip through Cleveland, Houston and Oakland, with a stretch of 20 games in 21 days coming after the day off. And right-handed starter Spencer Turnbull could be close to returning to the rotation. Will that be

One dead giveaway in appreciating the human psyche, in knowing if a person is dealing with bruises or with better days, is the voice. Spencer Torkelson sounded — mostly — Thursday as if he had hit .370 rather than .037 during March’s spring camp at Lakeland, Florida. It was his first spring training with the Tigers, his first

Cleveland — Maybe it’ll be different by the end of the weekend. Maybe he won’t really feel anything until the plane lands in Houston or until he walks back into that stadium, which has been his personal field of dreams. Maybe it won’t happen until his name is announced and the fans stand and applaud and

It’s a good sign your message is being heard as a manager when you start hearing it repeated back. It’s an even better sign, though, when you start seeing it put into action. And so it is with this “race to two strikes” we’ve heard quite a lot about from AJ Hinch and the Tigers’ pitching

Detroit — The culture of pressure that AJ Hinch has tried to instill in the Tigers this spring has paid plenty of dividends already this season. But in the sixth inning Wednesday, it may have crossed the line from aggressive to reckless. Trailing by a run, the Tigers had two runners thrown out at the

Detroit — When Nelson Cruz came to bat in the top of the 10th Tuesday in a 3-3 game with the free runner on second base and no outs, he was 5-for-10 in the series with three home runs and six RBIs. You walk him, right? “No,” said lefty Gregory Soto, through Tigers interpreter Carlos Guillen.

Detroit — With two outs in the bottom of the 10th inning and the potential winning run on third, Akil Baddoo walked out of the Tigers’ dugout Tuesday afternoon and headed to the on-deck circle. Robbie Grossman, who had two hits and a pair of RBIs already, was stepping into the batter’s box against Minnesota’s

Wayne Parry  |  Associated Press Atlantic City, N.J. — A New York hedge fund said Tuesday it is selling as much as half its ownership of Atlantic City’s Ocean Casino to the Ilitch family, owner of two major-league sports teams, a nationwide pizza chain and a casino in Detroit. Officials of Luxor Capital Group LP told The Associated

Detroit — There’s something to be said for finding a way to win. On a day the Tigers struck out 15 times, left 11 runners on base and watched a two-run lead disappear in the late innings, it was the heroics of a youngster who is quickly becoming a hero in Detroit that bailed out the Tigers. With two

Pat Graham  |  Associated Press Denver — The All-Star Game will be played at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Major League Baseball officially announced the new venue Tuesday after pulling the Midsummer Classic from Atlanta over objections to extensive changes to Georgia’s voting laws. Coors Field last hosted the All-Star Game in 1998. The game will be held

Detroit — So there he was Monday, minding his own business in the dugout in the eighth inning, thinking that maybe, with the Tigers down 15-1, he might not be called upon, when suddenly bench coach George Lombard was at his side. “He said, ‘How is your arm?’” Harold Castro said. “I said it’s good.

Pat Graham |  Associated Press Denver – Major League Baseball plans to relocate the All-Star Game to Coors Field in Denver after pulling this year’s Midsummer Classic from Atlanta over objections to sweeping changes to Georgia’s voting laws, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of
