Detroit Tigers

DETROIT — Robbie Grossman’s eighth-inning sacrifice fly produced the only run at Comerica Park on Wednesday and ended the Tigers’ six-game losing streak against Cleveland, sending Detroit to a 1-0 win. Niko Goodrum’s leadoff double got Detroit’s offense going in the eighth inning off Cal Quantrill. Jake Rogers, whose defense helped the Tigers survive a

The sight of Alan Trammell taking double-play throws at second base in Detroit brings back memories from 30 to 35 years ago. But it wasn’t highlights from yesteryear at Tiger Stadium; it was early infield work on Tuesday afternoon at Comerica Park. And Willi Castro, not Lou Whitaker, was making the tosses from the other

Usually at the time of college tournament play, teams have narrowed their focus in the first round of the Draft. But with the event moved to July for the first time this year, the number of players in the top tier of talent is still expanding. Both North Carolina high school shortstop Kahlil Watson and

The Rays nearly set a franchise record with an 11-game winning streak and went 11-2 overall from May 12-25, the two-week range of dates included in this Rookie Hot List. Entering Wednesday, they own the American League’s best record at 30-20 and sit a half-game ahead of the Red Sox in a crowded four-team AL

Tarik Skubal became the first American League pitcher to seven losses this season, joining Cincinnati’s Luis Castillo in a tie for the Major League lead. Beyond the record, however, the Tigers rookie is slowly winning the battle for progress against big league hitters. The way Cleveland starter Aaron Civale shut down Detroit’s offense for his

Sometimes it’s the callup of a great prospect that gets people excited. Case in point this year, of course, was the debut of Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic. Sometimes it’s the trade of someone conceived to be a big league obstacle that creates a palpable buzz. That definitely happened when the Rays traded shortstop Willy Adames

Spencer Torkelson‘s left hamstring tightness doesn’t sound likely to keep the Tigers’ top prospect, according to MLB Pipeline, out more than a few days at High-A West Michigan. He told Whitecaps radio broadcaster Dan Hasty on Tuesday that it’s “not out of the equation” he could return to action by the end of the homestand

DETROIT — The last time a Tigers pitcher followed up a no-hitter, fans were treated to the Summer of Verlander, when seemingly every start was a no-hit bid in the making. Nothing about Monday’s 6-5 loss to Cleveland or Spencer Turnbull‘s performance suggested this will be the Summer of Spencer in that sense. Yet much

DETROIT — For the second time this month, the Tigers placed catcher Wilson Ramos on the 10-day injured list with a lumbar spine strain. This time, his IL stint will likely last a while. Lefty reliever Derek Holland was reinstated from the 10-day IL to fill Ramos’ roster spot. The move bumps the Tigers’ bullpen

DETROIT — A.J. Hinch didn’t have a ton of honors from his catching career, but the Tigers’ manager has this: He’s the only Major League catcher who was a Minor League teammate of a six-time majors-champion golfer. Eighteen years before Phil Mickelson became the oldest golfer to win a major with his PGA Championship title

• All-time winners: AL | NL On Tuesday, Turnbull no-hit the Mariners at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, the eighth no-hitter in Detroit franchise history and the first since Justin Verlander’s on May 7, 2011. The 28-year-old is only the fifth pitcher to throw a no-hitter within two seasons of leading the Majors in losses (which

Every team has a certain someone who is absolutely essential to its success. The All-Star. The glue guy. The clubhouse leader. The one who knows everything from which button to push to which song to play. It may not always be the most talented or acclaimed player, but everyone in the clubhouse knows their team

Torkelson, the No. 3 prospect on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 list, churned out four hits in a Saturday doubleheader sweep. He began Sunday by reaching base on a fielding error in the first inning, but he felt tightness in his left hamstring shortly after. It wasn’t an obvious injury and he stayed in the game,

Tigers prospect Gage Workman hit for the cycle on Sunday, accomplishing one of baseball’s rare feats. Workman’s cycle came for the Low-A Lakeland Flying Tigers in their 20-7 win over the Bradenton Marauders, the Pirates’ Low-A affiliate.  It was an even more unexpected cycle than usual — Workman recorded two of the four hits in

For most of Sunday afternoon, the only heartbreak for the Tigers seemed to be a no-hit bid for Casey Mize. Instead, it was the first blemish on new closer Michael Fulmer, who gave up a walk-off two-run homer to Carlos Santana for a 3-2 loss to the Royals on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. Mize had

“I mean, I don’t know if life’s changed a ton. I definitely picked up some more followers on Instagram and stuff like that,” he said Sunday. The last time a Tiger tried to follow up a no-hitter, Justin Verlander held the Royals hitless for 5 2/3 innings and finished with eight innings of two-hit ball,

Have you been to a ballpark yet this year? I have. (Twice.) Let me tell you, it is wonderful. It has been a long, hard year for everyone. If you’re fully vaccinated, like I am, there really isn’t much better, after all we’ve been deprived of, than getting out to the ballpark. I knew I’d

While Tigers officials spent Saturday wondering if they were looking at a glimpse of the future in their farm system, Miguel Cabrera had to wonder if he was living out Groundhog Day. One day after Cabrera hit a grand slam as part of a two-homer game, there he stood again in the batter’s box, a
