Detroit Tigers

We haven’t changed the color. We haven’t reorganized all the photo frames on the wall. But we’ve given things a bit of a refresh.

CLEVELAND — George Lombard wasn’t looking for any sympathy Friday night as he talked about the latest Tigers starting pitching injury. The Tigers bench coach, filling in as manager for an ill A.J.

MLB’s four highest averages of home runs per game occurred in the previous five seasons. While balls aren’t traveling as far in 2022, there’s still no shortage of power, with clubs homering nearly once per game, a rate that should rise as the weather warms up. More home run hitters are on the way. We

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow. You’re always a day away. Every MLB team always has an eye on the future. The same goes for the high-ranking prospects and Minor Leaguers wondering when they will get their chance to prove their worth in the Majors. For the prospects listed below, that chance might arrive very

ST. PETERSBURG — Tigers starter Eduardo Rodriguez left Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Rays with a trainer after 23 pitches and one out.

DETROIT — Tarik Skubal was watching intently in the dugout Friday night when Eduardo Rodriguez became the first Tigers pitcher this season to cross the 100-pitch mark in an outing. “He wants to go deeper into games,” manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday morning. “He jabs at me every now and then about not going 100

DETROIT — There’s a scene in the 1990s golf movie “Tin Cup” in which Kevin Costner’s character, Roy McAvoy, brags to his PGA Tour buddy David Simms about shooting par with just his 7-iron. Asked if he’s ever done that, Simms, played by Don Johnson, brushes it off by saying it had never even occurred

Casey Mize will pause his rehab assignment, the Tigers announced. They’re not calling it a setback, but Mize’s rough start for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday gave them reason to believe he’s not ready to return to action. “Casey’s going back to Lakeland. We’re going to slow him down a little bit,” manager A.J. Hinch said.

DETROIT — Will Vest was in the back of the Mariners bullpen a year ago, filling innings as a Rule 5 Draft pick out of the Tigers system until the M’s sent him back to Detroit at midseason. He was in the far end of the Tigers clubhouse in Spring Training less than two months

DETROIT — The Tigers hadn’t even started batting practice when Joey Wentz took the mound at Comerica Park for the first time Wednesday afternoon.
