Detroit — It had been nearly two full weeks — 12 days, to be exact — since the Tigers felt good leaving the ballpark. Not since the calendar still said April, in fact. That was the last time AJ Hinch and his team were able to win a game and actually quit while they were ahead.

Detroit — The Tigers battled out of a three-run hole Thursday. Rookie starter Beau Brieske survived a three-run, 35-pitch first inning and ended up with a six-inning, quality start. Good things were happening and the Tigers were set up for a much-needed win at Comerica Park, but in the end it was just more frustration. “Just
Detroit — It’s really a Catch-22 for a manager. Sitting your $140 million starting shortstop in the midst of a 3-15 skid seems counterintuitive in the short-term. But running him out there every day during a grueling 32-game, 30-day patch of the schedule doesn’t bode well for his health long-term. Pick your poison. That’s what Tigers
Detroit — Cruel game. This was not the way Joey Wentz pictured his big-league debut going. All those months grinding, working, rehabbing his way back from Tommy John surgery, it was the dream of finally getting that call to the big leagues that drove him. Not every big-league debut has a storybook ending. “It was

Detroit — The answer is no, for now. As the Tigers prepared to play the fourth of a five-game series against the Athletics Wednesday, there were no imminent plans to option struggling rookie Spencer Torkelson to Triple-A Toledo. “It’s tough,” manager AJ Hinch said when asked at one point does the idea of a reset come
Detroit — Jonathan Schoop is coming out of it. Jeimer Candelario, you can argue, is out of it. Austin Meadows continues to be steady as a rock. The hits aren’t falling for Robbie Grossman, but he’s still getting on base at a productive clip. Slowly — glacially, you could say — the Tigers are showing signs of breaking
Tyler Mason | Associated Press Minneapolis — Houston Astros ace Justin Verlander lost a no-hit bid with one out in the eighth inning Tuesday night when the Minnesota Twins’ Gio Urshela lined a clean single to right field. Verlander was five outs away from completing his fourth no-hitter when Urshela poked his 84th pitch into the outfield.
Detroit — Who knew Lloyd McClendon had such a tender side to him? On Sunday, Mother’s Day, the Toledo Mud Hens’ skipper not only called left-hander Joey Wentz into his office, but also invited in Wentz’s parents to deliver the news that Wentz was being called up to the major leagues. “That was very cool,” Wentz
Detroit — Baseball has an odd way of sorting things out sometimes. The Tigers ended a couple of aggravating streaks in the first of two games against the Oakland Athletics on Tuesday. First, the 6-0 victory snapped a six-game losing streak. Second, the two runs they scored in the fifth inning ended a streak of 28
Detroit — Tigers manager AJ Hinch was saying, hours before Monday night’s game, that you can’t worry about yesterday. You’ve gotta focus on today. Of course, reality is, todays always eventually turn into yesterdays — and that’s a problem for the Tigers, whose yesterdays, todays and tomorrows have all been pretty awful lately. For the second consecutive
Detroit — Steve Yzerman was running a little late for his season-ending Zoom news conference, so he apologized. “Didn’t want to keep everyone waiting,” he said last week. “I appreciate your patience with me.” Ah, the phrase of the times in Detroit sports. Fans are waiting. Patience is appreciated, but tested. The Red Wings just finished
Detroit — Tigers manager AJ Hinch was saying, hours before Monday night’s game, that you can’t worry about yesterday. You’ve gotta focus on today. Of course, reality is, todays always eventually turn into yesterdays — and that’s a problem for the Tigers. For the second consecutive game, the Tigers were shut out — they haven’t scored a run
Detroit — Another Tigers pitching prospect is set to make his major-league debut. Manager AJ Hinch announced Monday that left-hander Joey Wentz, No. 12 on the team’s list of prospects according to MLB.com, will start Wednesday’s game against the Oakland A’s at Comerica Park. Wentz, 24, was acquired from the Atlanta Braves in the 2019 deal for
Detroit — The sophomore slump is real for Akil Baddoo. And, now, it includes a demotion to Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers announced Monday, before the start of a five-game home series with the Oakland A’s, that Baddoo has been optioned to Toledo. It’ll be Baddoo’s first non-injury-related sting at the Triple-A level. “I’m sure he didn’t expect it
Detroit — The sophomore slump is real for Akil Baddoo. And, now, it includes a return to Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers announced Monday, before the start of a five-game home series with the Oakland A’s, that Baddoo has been optioned to Toledo. In 17 games, Baddoo was hitting .140/.218/.220 with one home run and two RBIs.
Whichever baseball sage said, “You never have enough pitching,” wasn’t envisioning the 2022 Tigers. They’ve got arms. Lots of them. In Detroit, and sprinkled throughout the farm acreage. What they’re lacking at all levels is bats. So, some relatively simple math tells you this is about to change, with trades a likely pathway to getting
Houston — They wore pink Sunday to celebrate Mother’s Day around baseball. But it had to feel like Groundhog’s Day to the Tigers. Wake up, go to the ballpark, play game, lose game. “It’s old,” catcher Eric Haase said. “No one likes losing. It leaves a bad taste in our mouth every time.” It’s five in a
Toledo, Ohio — On a glorious Mother’s Day at Fifth Third Field, Matt Manning bought the Mud Hens some doughnuts and won the fans some ice cream. And, oh, he also threw three impressive innings in his first step back toward rejoining the Tigers rotation. On Sunday, Manning made his first injury rehab start since going
Could it be this month, given the 19 games in 18 days the Tigers are about to ingest during a killer stretch from May 20-June 5? Or, more likely, will it be later in June, or July, as Joey Wentz’s arc and the Tigers’ taxed pitching pantry make for a nearly inevitable ticket to manager
