DETROIT — Buried within the top shelf of Matthew Boyd’s clubhouse stall at Comerica Park is a glove collection more fitting for a super-utility player than a starting pitcher. The Tigers’ left-hander has six versions of the same glove.  “You get two every year,” said Boyd, who has worked with the same Wilson glove representative,

DETROIT — Andrea Norton wants marginalized veterans to know they are not alone.

DETROIT — Twenty years to the day after Miguel Cabrera hit a walk-off homer for the Marlins in his Major League debut for his first big-league hit, he nearly hit his 509th home run.

DETROIT — Kerry Carpenter had every excuse to look at his injured-list stint earlier this season as a setback. Instead, he took it as an opportunity. He learned the value of patience. He learned the value of trust. Not patience to get through an injury, but patience to commit to a pitch and trust that

Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris has heard the speculation about No. 2 prospect Colt Keith moving up from Double-A Erie — maybe to Triple-A Toledo, and maybe even to Detroit. But Harris indicated that they’re not inclined to fast-track the highly regarded slugger, at least not to the Major Leagues. “Colt has been

MINNEAPOLIS — Joe Mauer broke Tigers fans’ hearts many times over his stellar 15-year career with the Twins, batting .305 with 18 homers and 122 RBIs in 216 career games against Detroit. On Sunday, Spencer Torkelson — like Mauer, a former No. 1 overall Draft pick — broke the plaque honoring Mauer’s retired number. It
