Detroit — Tucker Barnhart was told the 7-0 loss to the Mariners on Thursday was the 18th time this season the Tigers have been shut out. “It’s only that many?” he said. “It’s not higher? Feels like it’s higher.” He wasn’t trying to be funny or sarcastic. The grind of this season, encapsulated in and

Detroit — On Wednesday, the day before he was to make his third start since coming off the restricted list, Eduardo Rodriguez talked about the last piece of the puzzle that needed to come back to form — his velocity. “That’s the only part I’m still building up,” he said. “The rest, everything else is fine. The
Detroit — Infielder Ryan Kreidler, the Tigers’ No. 7-rated prospect, is finally here. First baseman Spencer Torkelson, the No. 1 overall pick in 2020 who struggled out of the gate and was sent back to Triple-A Toledo, is back. Riley Greene has been manning center field and hitting leadoff for a couple of months. Outfielder Kerry
By Jerry Green | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — It was almost midnight when the swindle occurred, a sorry half decade ago. But the pain and the mirth remain. Pain if you’re from Detroit. Mirth and joyous mockery if you’re from Houston. This was the Great Verlander Swindle baseball’s worst player deal in 98 years.
Detroit – When something that hasn’t happened hardly at all this season happens twice in a matter of days, twice in back-to-back at-bats, it’s alarming. Tigers reliever Alex Lange’s curveball has been one of the best weapons in baseball this season. Opponents were hitting just .167 against it, swinging and missing 60% of the time.
Detroit — On Thursday, the day Major League rosters expand to 28 players, the Tigers will welcome No. 7-ranked prospect Ryan Kreidler to the big leagues and welcome back first baseman Spencer Torkelson. Also, veteran right-handed starting pitcher Michael Pineda will be activated off the injured list. Manager AJ Hinch said Kreidler, who will play
Detroit — The last time former Detroit Tiger Matthew Boyd sat in a dugout at Comerica Park, talking to reporters, was about 11 months ago. It was his last day physically with the Tigers. He was leaving that night, flying to Dallas to have his flexor tendon surgically repaired by Dr. Keith Meister. “I kind
Detroit — It didn’t take long for the playoff-contending team to distinguish itself from the team playing out the string. The Seattle Mariners, who entered the game Tuesday a half-game out of a wild card spot, scored six times in the third inning and cruised to a 9-3 win over the Tigers before a sparse gathering
Detroit — The Puerto Rican flag that’s been draped in his locker all season should’ve been a tip-off. When Riley Greene was asked before Tuesday’s game if he has had any contact from Team USA about playing in the World Baseball Classic next March, he had a puzzled look on his face. “Um, no,” he said. “I
Detroit — Look who’s back. When the Tigers welcome the Seattle Mariners to Comerica Park for three games this week, a very familiar face will be setting up shop in the visitors’ clubhouse. Lefty Matthew Boyd, non-tendered by the Tigers last year after being a mainstay in the rotation for the better part of seven seasons,

Arlington, Texas — What’s frustrating — if anything can be truly frustrating after a road series-winning 9-8 victory against the Texas Rangers, except maybe the last two innings — is that the Tigers haven’t been able to produce this type of offensive performance more frequently this season. The same team that has been shut out a league-most 17 times and
There were no news bulletins issued. No surprises registered. Jace Jung was doing precisely what the Tigers had expected when they chose him last month, 12 picks deep into the 2022 MLB Draft. He was hitting the ball, hard for the most part, in his last six games for the West Michigan Whitecaps: 8-for-22, with
There is no one like him, not statistically, not skills-wise. There is no apt comparison. Gage Workman, who plays shortstop and third base at Double-A Erie, begs critics to dismiss him. Mostly, it’s because a strikeout rate of 41% is what might be termed “disqualifying” for any remotely serious big-league prospect. But it’s not that
Arlington, Texas — Bennett Vest won’t likely remember the first time he saw his daddy pitch. But there will always be the video. Young Bennett, a little over a month old, was among a group of 30 friends and family members at Globe Life Field on Saturday night when poppa Will Vest entered the game in
Arlington, Texas – Veteran lefty Dallas Keuchel, pitching for his third team this season, has certainly had his moments against Detroit teams over the years. But not too many lately. Maybe the Tigers weren’t exactly licking their chops in anticipation of Keuchel’s debut start with the Rangers Saturday – but they weren’t stressing it, either.
Arlington, Texas – When Javier Baez came to bat with one out in the ninth inning Friday, Riley Greene had just hit a two-run home run to bring the Tigers within a run, 7-6, and Victor Reyes followed with a single. It was the type of script-flipping situation the Tigers envisioned him being in when
Arlington, Texas – There’s no cheering in the press box. You don’t get to root when you wear these media badges — unless it’s for a fast game or a quick decision on a rainout call. But you can appreciate. You can empathize. You can marvel. You can respect. All of the above with Tigers’
Arlington, Texas — Things went askew for Tyler Alexander well before he took the mound for his first start ever at Globe Life Field. He grew up in the Fort Worth area and went to college at TCU. And yet, on the wall in the visitors’ clubhouse where the Rangers have photos of all the current
Arlington, Texas — Before Friday’s game, a reporter from The Associated Press wanted to get Miguel Cabrera’s thoughts on Cardinals slugger Paul Goldschmidt, who is making a bid win the Triple Crown. “Why ask me?” Cabrera said. “Because you were the last person to win it (in 2012),” the reporter said. “I already did it,” Cabrera said.
