Phoenix — Outfielder Austin Meadows, out since June 17 after testing positive for COVID, has cleared protocol and is expected to start a rehab assignment next week. “He’s going to report to Toledo,” manager AJ Hinch said. “He will do a couple of workouts and then probably start playing games on Tuesday.” After missing three

Phoenix – A hefty segment of the 22,064 people who came to Chase Field Friday night to welcome Spencer Torkelson back to Arizona where he starred at Arizona State, but Javier Báez gave them a bonus treat. He blasted a grand slam home run in the third inning, sending the Tigers to a 5-1 win

Phoenix — Michael Pineda, the veteran right-hander who has been out since May 14 with a fractured finger on his pitching hand, is expected to make his second and last rehab start for Toledo on Sunday and, barring any setbacks, rejoin the Tigers during the homestand beginning July 1 against Kansas City. All right, now what?

Boston — Tarik Skubal, asked where his frustration level was Wednesday night after he endured his third straight rough start, let out a sort of groan, paused, and then chose his words carefully. “I can be as frustrated as I want but it doesn’t matter,” he said. “What I’m doing on the field is what

Boston — You take your glimmers when you see them and if his at-bats Monday and Tuesday against the Red Sox are an indication, Javier Báez might be breaking out. “Yeah, I think so,” Báez said after he homered and tripled in the 5-4 loss Tuesday. “I was pulling a little bit to third base.

Boston — A phrase that manager AJ Hinch has uttered way too frequently this season was apropos again Tuesday night at Fenway Park. The Tigers didn’t do enough to win a baseball game. They battled. They stayed in the fight. They lost. For the eighth time in 10 games, they lost. For the 42nd time

Boston — You might’ve had to do a double take, but that side-arming right-hander throwing 96- and 97-mph bullets at the Tigers in the eighth inning Monday night was indeed Downriver’s John Schreiber. He’s bigger these days and bearded and more confident than he was at any time during his two seasons with the Tigers in 2019

Boston — Tigers pitching coach Chris Fetter isn’t going anywhere. Fetter, according to manager AJ Hinch, informed officials at the University of Michigan that he was taking his name out of consideration for their search for a head baseball coach. “He was contacted by them and he has removed his name from consideration,” Hinch said Tuesday.

Boston — Manager AJ Hinch doesn’t typically make a mound visit unless he’s changing pitchers. Which made his visit to starter Alex Faedo in the fourth inning of the Tigers’ 5-2 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park Monday curious. There was nobody warming in the bullpen. Hinch’s mission became crystal clear. It may

Boston — He wasn’t gone that long, but in some ways Jeimer Candelario had to feel like he was walking into a completely different clubhouse Monday. “Just the vibe,” he said. “Things are starting to go our way.” Candelario, out since June 6 with a left shoulder subluxation, made the short drive from Worcester, Massachusetts, where

Hamtramck — Hamtramck Stadium is the second-oldest Negro League ballpark still standing in 2022. Legends such as Cool Papa Bell, Satchel Paige and Detroit native Norman “Turkey” Stearnes played in the venue. It’s a relic of the past, and one of importance to many. But it was closed in 1997 and there were talks to demolish

Bally Sports Detroit is launching a direct-to-consumer streaming service that will give Detroit sports fans access to Tigers, Red Wings and Pistons game broadcasts without needing a cable subscription.

Detroit — Maybe AJ Hinch just wanted to go hang out with his kids on Father’s Day. Or maybe — and perhaps more likely — he was arguing balls and strikes with the umpire behind home plate, who ran Hinch out of the game in the third inning of the Tigers’ 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday. It’s

Detroit — Tigers top prospect Riley Greene arrived on the scene Saturday and reached base safely four times to help propel Detroit to a 14-7 win over the Texas Rangers, snapping a six-game losing skid. Greene registered two singles and a pair of walks working out of the sixth spot in the lineup. On Sunday, however, he

He can be overlooked, even forgotten, when Colt Keith, Ryan Kreidler, Cristian Santana, Izaac Pacheco — and others tend to be the Tigers’ spicier farm-system celebrities. But be careful with Wenceel Perez. He’s an infielder. Aiming for Detroit. “He’s really put himself back on the map,” said Ryan Garko, the Tigers vice president who oversees player-development. Perez

One year ago, before so much changed across Detroit’s baseball terrain, Akil Baddoo was playing for the Tigers and driving a born-again MLB team. He was batting .262, with five home runs, a .350 on-base average, and .839 OPS. A rookie the Tigers had all but stolen from the Twins was a fan darling. And

Detroit — The Tigers were due for a boost and a burst. Overdue. Way overdue. That’s fitting, because Riley Greene was due for his celebrated debut, way overdue. Whether it was a quirk of timing or a legitimate spark, we’ll see. All we know for now is, the Tigers just inhaled deeply on fresh hope.
