DETROIT – The Tigers have lost so many starting pitchers to injuries, they’ve barely had enough to put together a five-man rotation. But at least they have an ace. Don’t count on manager A.J. Hinch giving Tarik Skubal that title. The last thing he wants to do is put any more pressure on the 25-year-old

Throughout his career in Detroit, Miguel Cabrera has given Tigers fans plenty of reasons to celebrate. Fresh off another historic milestone, now in his 15th season wearing the Olde English “D,” those same fans have been able to take a step back and congratulate Cabrera on a career that may never be matched. Cabrera joined

DETROIT – Roger Clemens was running off a list of memorable games he has pitched in Detroit, from his 20-strikeout gem at Tiger Stadium in 1996 to an attempt at his 300th career win at Comerica Park in 2003. He was even the starting pitcher in the Yankees-Tigers game in 2007 that was delayed until

DETROIT — The list of players from Curaçao to reach the Major Leagues is 16 players long, according to Baseball Reference. Just two, Andruw Jones and Andrelton Simmons, had recorded 1,000 hits in the big leagues — until Monday. Jonathan Schoop joined the club with his three-hit performance in the Tigers’ 7-5 win over the

DETROIT — Jeimer Candelario was supposed to be getting Sunday off in part to clear his head. Instead, he cleared the fences. Harold Castro had started in Candelario’s place, with manager A.J. Hinch electing to play the hot bat against Guardians starter Triston McKenzie. After Castro’s third home run this week, the sweet-swinging utility infielder

DETROIT — Ballpark wedding proposals have become a regularity over the years, but one Tigers fan at Comerica Park on Saturday took it a step further: He proposed to get married at the ballpark, right then and there. The Tigers would have loved to connect on that big of a swing Saturday. Shane Bieber wasn’t

As baseball becomes more specialized, as more young relievers are called up just to blow fastballs past guys and then go home, as strikeouts keep ticking up, you’re going to see more and more of what I like to call Roman Candles: Relievers who come out of nowhere and light up the sky, even though

DETROIT — For the second time in a week, rain has postponed the Tigers and Guardians, this time on Friday at Comerica Park. The two teams will make up the game as part of a split doubleheader on Monday, July 4. The originally scheduled game will begin at 1:10 p.m. ET, with the makeup game

DETROIT — On a day when manager A.J. Hinch announced that Matt Manning has been shut down with biceps tendinitis and Casey Mize has yet to resume throwing, the Tigers desperately needed some good news out of their rotation Thursday night. Then Tarik Skubal continued his maturation into a potential ace. His pitching line won’t

DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera’s 3,029th career hit was a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth, completing a three-hit performance and sending the Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Guardians on Thursday night at Comerica Park. Cabrera hit an opposite-field RBI single in the second inning, then added a bloop single to shallow

MINNEAPOLIS – Andrew Chafin began his Wednesday afternoon standing in the rain at Target Field, holding an umbrella and talking on the pregame show for the YouTube broadcast. A few hours later, he was standing on the mound with a storm he inherited — bases loaded, one out and Tiger-killer Max Kepler at the plate

MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Fulmer got a phone call from Tigers top pitching prospect Jackson Jobe a few days ago. Jobe didn’t need pitching advice. He needed a plumber. No, Jobe wasn’t asking for Fulmer to go back to his old side job, before he made it in the big leagues. The youngster is staying at

MINNEAPOLIS — Three days after Tarik Skubal joked that the Tigers “might need to start lighting some sage” with all the issues that have befallen their rotation, the visiting clubhouse at Target Field smelled like a scene out of the movie Major League. The odor was Palo Santo wood, or “wood of the saints” in
