Detroit — Buck Farmer admits he endured some dark thoughts. There he was, 31 years old, with parts of nine big-league seasons under his belt, — eight with the Tigers — with a wife and two young children back in Georgia, shuffling his bags into the Triple-A clubhouse at Louisville. This was May 2022. He’d

One of Miguel Cabrera’s favorite local restaurants is getting in the spotlight this season as a Miggy-themed pop-up restaurant in the District Detroit. Detroit’s El Rey de las Arepas will serve food at a pop-up experience on select days this month at 44 W. Columbia in Detroit, across from Comerica Park. The Venezuelan restaurant is

Detroit — The role kind of looks good on him, to be honest. It may be too early to call it a transition, but the Tigers are experimenting with right-hander Alex Faedo in a hybrid reliever role and the early results are encouraging. He was summoned in the sixth inning Saturday night to protect a

A year ago, the only thing Clayton Campbell wasn’t missing was a meal. A bad meal — nutritionally, anyway. A teenager from Australia, with equal ties to his native New Zealand, was homesick for everything he had left when he signed with the Tigers in December 2021, a few months before he was bound for

Hand it to those minor-league managers, for whichever MLB team they toil. It’s one tough job — all that shuffling of players from one level to the next, while having to watch pitch counts and innings limits and front-office wishes on where and when to deploy certain people. The Tigers have had their best farm

Detroit — He was beyond calm in the moment, but afterward, after the beer shower, after the emotional on-field gathering with family and friends, after the laminated lineup card was tucked in his locker and the Tigers’ 3-2 season series-ending win over the Chicago White Sox was in the books, the magnitude of what Sawyer

Detroit — Fans were chanting, “We want Miggy! we want Miggy!” throughout the game Saturday night. And Tigers manager AJ Hinch gets it. Miguel Cabrera’s illustrious career is winding down and the fans absolutely deserve to see him play as often as possible. But there are going to be nights and days when it’s not

Detroit — As they were walking off the field at the end of the first inning Saturday, Tarik Skubal sidled up to Tim Anderson. “I asked him, ‘How do you get you out?'” Skubal said. “He said, ‘You know how.’ I was like, ‘No, please tell me.'” Anderson’s first-inning single brought his career damage against

Detroit — There was no transaction. No press release or press conference. Just a new nameplate over his locker and another player’s uniform on the rack. Outfielder Austin Meadows’ season has been effectively over since May 1 when he was placed on the 60-day injured list. It was officially over on Saturday when the Tigers

Detroit — In a game initially predicated by defense, the Tigers went nearly seven innings without allowing a single hit before Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada had the definitive two-run homer needed to kick-start Detroit’s 6-0 loss on Friday night, the first of three at Comerica Park. Moncada’s timely homer came in the

Detroit — Sawyer Gipson-Long won’t have to wait much longer to throw his first Major League pitch. The Triple-A Toledo right-handed pitcher will officially make his MLB debut at Comerica Park during Sunday’s series finale between the Tigers and White Sox, manager A.J. Hinch announced Friday night. “I’m really excited to see him pitch,” Hinch

New York — Road warriors? “I’ll take that,” Spencer Torkelson said Thursday, after his two-homer, four-RBI night sent the Tigers to a 10-3 romp over the Yankees in the series finale at Yankee Stadium. The Tigers went 4-2 on this two-city trip and, despite being 13 games under .500 overall, are 35-36 on the road.

New York — It didn’t show on the scoresheet, but the Tigers had put up a lot of quality at-bats in the first two games of this series against Yankees starters Gerrit Cole and Clarke Schmidt. They made both earn their outs, for sure, albeit without tangible results. In the series finale Thursday, the results

New York — This has been a breakout season for Jason Foley. The right-hander has, in one year, gone from middle-innings, lower-leverage roles to one of manager AJ Hinch’s most trusted leverage relievers, working all but three of his 59⅔ innings in the seventh inning or later. With 23 games remaining in the season, he’s

Mark Kennedy |  Associated Press New York — Jeff Daniels tackles his life and career in an absorbing, unconventional way this month with a music- and skit-filled audio memoir from Audible that he calls “a little bit like a one-man musical.” In the 12-episode season of “Alive and Well Enough,” the actor, musician and playwright explores his influences and opinions,

New York — Come on, not again. Some version of that sentence, maybe one more R-rated, had to be going through Tigers’ starter Matt Manning’s mind after his outing Wednesday was ended in the first inning when a line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton struck him in the right foot. Yes, the same

New York — Come on, not again. Some version of that phrase, maybe one more R-rated, had to be going through Matt Manning’s mind after his outing Wednesday was ended in the first inning when a line drive off the bat of Giancarlo Stanton struck him in the right foot. Yes, the same right foot

New York — There are still moments, even a couple of weeks into his big-league career, when Parker Meadows is tempted to pinch himself. Playing center field at Yankee Stadium certainly felt like a dream. “Just showing up here in New York City, at Yankee Stadium, it’s been surreal,” he said. “I was here to

New York — They were booing Giancarlo Stanton at Yankee Stadium Tuesday night after he struck out in his first two at-bats. In the bottom of the sixth, they stood on their feet and begged him for a curtain call. After the Tigers missed turning an inning-ending double-play by inches, Stanton locked onto a spinning

New York — Javier Báez was back in the Tigers’ starting lineup Tuesday. A month ago, that wouldn’t have been news. These days, though, even Báez has to check the lineup for his name on a daily basis. “I’m letting him know series by series what the plan is for that series,” manager AJ Hinch
