Detroit — As Tigers’ manager AJ Hinch was talking about the challenges of trying to get everybody at-bats these final four weeks, especially at third base now that Andre Lipcius and Tyler Nevin have joined the mix, he stopped himself. “We still need to get Matty reps there, too,” he said. “It’s very important we

Even as few as 90 days ago, what Jackson Jobe has managed to do in 2023 seemed far-fetched. He has made 13 starts, has a combined 3.19 ERA at three farm stops — Florida Complex League Tigers, as well as Single-A Lakeland and West Michigan — and a 1.04 WHIP. His last two turns at
One question, in particular, will follow the Tigers and front-office boss Scott Harris into the offseason. What can the Tigers do about reshaping their infield in 2024? They have pieces, no question. Good pieces, for the most part, in the form of big bats that gradually are maturing (Spencer Torkelson, principally) or hitters that are
Chicago — There is an attack dog inside of Tarik Skubal and the White Sox tried to exploit that Sunday. Didn’t quite. Behind seven strong innings from Skubal, the Tigers completed the sweep with a 3-2 win over the Southsiders at Guaranteed Rate Field. “Miggy told me before the game, with some expletives, that I
Chicago — Let’s look ahead to next season for a minute, specifically at what the Tigers’ 2024 starting rotation might look like. Certainly the organization is counting on Tarik Skubal, Matt Manning and Casey Mize to be the foundation. Reese Olson, one of the biggest player development success stories this season, is steadily carving his
Chicago — First big-league start, first big-league hit, first big-league home run. That all happened for rookie Andre Lipcius in the first inning Saturday, his two-run homer capping a four-run inning that sent the Tigers on their way to a 10-0 romp over the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. And guess who was
Chicago — First big-league start, first big-league hit, first big-league home run. That all happened for rookie Andre Lipcius in the first inning Saturday, his two-run homer capping a four-run inning that sent the Tigers on their way to a 10-0 romp over the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field. It was the Tigers’
Chicago — Look out Adrian Beltre, Miguel Cabrera is coming for you. “Oh, I don’t know,” Cabrera said, laughing before the game Saturday. “I don’t know if I can catch him.” Cabrera, who had two hits Friday night, sliced an RBI double into the right field corner in the first inning Saturday. It was career
Chicago – The body language told the story. When Riley Greene walked out of manager AJ Hinch’s office with head athletic trainer Ryne Eubanks Saturday afternoon, with his head down and not speaking, and immediately turned left into the kitchen area and away from his teammates, you knew something wasn’t right. A few minutes later,
Chicago — Riley Greene walked through the dugout before the game just as his manager was about to start his pre-game press briefing. “Riley Greene,” AJ Hinch said. “You’re a great player.” “Thank you,” said Greene, as he strode onto the field. Greene was certainly a great player Friday night. He commandeered the fifth inning
Detroit — It’ll happen to Ed Keelean nearly every game, as Keelean goes about watching his beloved Detroit Tigers on a beautiful summer day or evening at Comerica Park, jotting his baseball hieroglyphics onto his own unique scorecard. A nearby fan, unsure of what Keelean is doing, nudges over and peeks over his shoulder. “Invariably,
Chicago — Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull was scratched from his start at Triple-A Toledo Friday night. “He’s been referencing a cracked toenail that’s limiting him, as far as pitching,” manager AJ Hinch said. “That’s the reason he’s not pitching tonight. He’s getting some treatment and we expect him to be on the mound and ready
Chicago — Rom Lipcius would probably have been content with a card and phone call, but his son Andre went all out for his birthday on Thursday night. Playing in Toledo for the Mud Hens, Andre Lipcius slugged a home run. Later that night, he was able to tell him that he was going to
Chicago ― It’s probably not who you wanted or expected, but it certainly offers more evidence that things are operating differently these days under Tigers president Scott Harris. A September call-up isn’t a public-relations move. It isn’t necessarily just a reward for a job well done in Triple-A. It is part of an organizational development

Detroit — Zach Short made a diving stop to get the runner out at second. The Tigers, who had lost five straight, were on their way to closing a dismal home stand with a complete, team victory. The throw down to first— potentially the final out of a shutout win — was late. And you
Detroit — Former No. 1 pick Casey Mize issued a warning Thursday to those keeping a close eye on his rehab. “This is not linear at all,” Mize told reporters, in response to questions about cutting his live batting practice session short the day prior. He was supposed to throw “20 to 25, ended up
Detroit — As matchups on paper go, it would be hard to come up with one more one-sided than this: One of the premier fastball pitchers against by far the worst fastball hitting team in baseball. Yankees’ starter Gerrit Cole came into the game Wednesday holding hitters to a .209 batting average against his 97-mph
Detroit — Funny how these things go. When the news circulated Tuesday night that the Tigers had placed veteran reliever Jose Cisnero on waivers, people around him, friends, family and teammates, were more concerned about it that he was. “Tranquillo,” Cisnero said, meaning he took the news calmly, with peace of mind. “All of us
Detroit — The Tigers have fallen back on one of their less endearing traits, one that dogged them through the early part of the season. The small margin for error trait. Lefty starter Tarik Skubal − just as rookie Reese Olson did Monday night and Alex Faedo on Sunday − pitched well enough to win
