Detroit — Manager AJ Hinch saw Casey Mize in the clubhouse on Sunday. “I was thinking about something,” Hinch told him. “You’re going to be the last player on the roster to play.” Mize, who recalled the story Monday morning with a chuckle, just looked down and said, “I don’t know how I feel about that,
The best part about a moment like this is sharing it, and Akil Baddoo would be the first to tell you so.

Detroit – Tigers manager AJ Hinch could certainly empathize with what Brewers manager Craig Counsell and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli were going though Saturday night. Their starting pitchers – Twins Jose Berrios and Brewers Corbin Burnes – were both throwing no-hitters through six innings. And both, coming off the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, were over 80
In keeping with the past year’s COVID-caused dislocations, Tigers farm kids remain in a state of semi-flux as they get ready for what already has been a weird baseball season.

Detroit — It was a good day for a couple of Tigers rookies. Less than for the Tigers as a whole. The Cleveland Indians scored four times off reliever Daniel Norris in the top of the seventh inning and salvaged the third game of the season-opening series with an 9-3 romp Sunday at Comerica Park. BOX
Detroit – Major League Baseball is expected to announce early next week the new site for the All-Star Game, but, alas, it will not be Detroit and Comerica Park.

By Mitch Stacy | Associated Press Cincinnati — Nick Castellanos stood over, flexed and jawed at St. Louis pitcher Jake Woodford after scoring, setting off a series of scuffles that included relievers shoving in the outfield as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cardinals 9-6 Saturday.

Detroit – There will be times this season when manager AJ Hinch makes the right decision at the right time, for the right reasons, and it will backfire. Then there is a game like Saturday when every lever he pulled hit a jackpot. “I enjoy all wins, whether I made good decisions or not,” he said
Mae Anderson | Associated Press News of Major League Baseball’s decision to pull this summer’s All-Star Game from Georgia over its sweeping new voting law reverberated among fans Saturday, while Gov.

Detroit — It’s enough to make a player wistful, nostalgic even. Derek Holland, once upon a time, could ring a radar gun — 95 mph, 96, occasionally bump it to 97. And even now at age 34, he can still bring it in pretty firm (94-95 mph in his shorter bullpen stints). Which he can
Detroit – The tradition of bestowing championship belts on teammates in this city goes back to Rasheed Wallace, who adorned his teammates with boxing-wrestling styled belts after the Pistons won the NBA title in 2004.

Detroit — Matthew Boyd is a hockey player. He grew up in the rain and chill of the Pacific Northwest. So, of course, he was out there pitching in a mini-blizzard on Opening Day with no long sleeves under his jersey. “I never wore them on the mound growing up,” Boyd shrugged after pitching 5.2
Howard Fendrich | Associated Press Washington — The entire season-opening three-game series between the Washington Nationals and New York Mets was called off on Friday after three players for the 2019 World Series champions tested positive for COVID-19.
