Wilson Ramos took some ribbing in his offseason workouts after he signed with the Tigers to call spacious Comerica Park his home. “I was jogging a little bit with the guys working out with me and they said, ‘Hey, now you will get a couple triples in your career if you hit the ball in

Miguel Cabrera’s chase for 500 home runs and 3,000 hits is on hold. The Tigers placed the two-time MVP and one-time Triple Crown winner on the 10-day injured list Sunday morning with a left biceps strain. The 37-year-old Cabrera has played in Detroit’s last five games, including three of the last four at first base.

The Tigers had a forgettable evening in Cleveland — except for Alex Lange, who won’t forget Saturday’s 11-3 loss for the rest of his life. “It’s something you dream about from the time you pick up a plastic bat in the backyard as a kid, playing in the big leagues,” Lange said before the game,

Julio Teheran‘s last-minute scratch from his scheduled start will lead to a longer absence. The Tigers placed the veteran right-hander on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with what is being classified as a right shoulder strain. The move, retroactive to Friday, will cost Teheran at least one start before he’s eligible to return. Teheran

Tigers right-hander Julio Teheran was scratched from his scheduled start against the Indians on Friday night after feeling tightness in his triceps during his pregame throwing progression. With Teheran out, left-hander Derek Holland got the start for the opener of a three-game series at Progressive Field. Holland had started the season in the bullpen.

On Friday, for example, Hinch sat Grossman against the Indians, but there wasn’t an analytical reason for the move. He simply wants all of his outfielders to get involved. Having three permanent outfielders became even tougher for Hinch because of Baddoo, who got off to a 5-for-11 [.455] start with two home runs and a

Opening Day rosters featured 17 Top 100 Prospects, yet it’s some unheralded rookies who have made the biggest impact during the first week of the big league season. Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo, Reds second baseman Jonathan India, Dodgers utilityman Zach McKinstry and White Sox catcher Yermín Mercedes have generated plenty of highlights. There are several

DETROIT — The Tigers, looking to turn the corner from years of struggles, find signs of hope in one of the least likely places. A Rule 5 Draft pick not only cracks the Opening Day roster, but he takes off for a historic start that carries the Tigers with him. In the process, he becomes

The Tigers get a critical part of their pitching staff back in time for a big early test, even if he won’t throw a pitch on their upcoming road trip. Pitching coach Chris Fetter has been cleared to rejoin the Tigers this weekend as they begin a 10-game trip to Cleveland, Houston and Oakland. The

DETROIT — Considering the opposition, the Tigers probably would have taken a 3-3 season-opening homestand. After all, Cleveland and Minnesota combined to go 13-7 against Detroit last year and 32-6 in 2019. Still, the Tigers would be excused if they feel like Wednesday afternoon’s 3-2 loss to the Twins was a missed opportunity for their

DETROIT — Most Rule 5 Draft picks don’t do in a season what Akil Baddoo has done in his first week in the big leagues. And as his early work in the Tigers’ series finale Wednesday against the Twins reminded us, his week isn’t over yet. After becoming the first player in modern Major League

DETROIT — The first pitch from Gregory Soto on Monday sailed so high that catcher Wilson Ramos didn’t bother putting a glove up. He simply watched it fly and asked plate umpire Adam Hamari for another ball. Soto’s pitch nearly cleared the screen behind home plate, and it startled fans at Comerica Park looking up

DETROIT — Akil Baddoo’s home runs in his first two games didn’t matter in Tigers losses. On Tuesday, the former Twins prospect’s historic heroics really hurt. He did it against his old organization, delivering a walk-off single with two outs in the 10th inning for a 4-3 Detroit win at Comerica Park. Baddoo was already
