MINNEAPOLIS — The Tigers have talked with Isaac Paredes about being more aggressive at the plate and trying to hit for more power.

MINNEAPOLIS — The Tigers clinched their fifth consecutive season under .500 on Tuesday. Their 82nd loss will be remembered most for a pitch up and over the backstop, the screen and several rows of seats at Target Field.

If the pitch isn’t going to count anyway, might as well have a fan get a souvenir out of it. That’s the approach Tigers lefty Tyler Alexander took — well, “took” probably isn’t the right word — when the Twins’ Willians Astudillo called a late timeout during his at-bat in the bottom of the second

MINNEAPOLIS – Like the rest of the Tigers, Niko Goodrum is in the final week of his season. However, he has no guarantees about his situation for next year as he enters arbitration eligibility with no role assured on Detroit’s roster. That uncertainty, and the potential for an injury to devastate his situation, is what

DETROIT — The Tigers spent the summer talking about how their turnaround from a miserable start to the season should raise expectations for them to make the jump to contenders, maybe even as soon as next year. They discussed competing better against the White Sox in the home stretch as a statement going into 2022.

DETROIT — The sight of Matt Manning walking straight down the dugout steps towards the clubhouse was a clear sign of his frustration following his fourth-inning exit in Monday afternoon’s 8-7 loss to the White Sox. So was the chucking of his glove once he returned to the Tigers’ dugout, a familiar sight in games

The benches cleared during Monday afternoon’s White Sox-Tigers tilt at Comerica Park, and Chicago slugger José Abreu had to be held back by his teammates. Abreu was hit by a pitch from Tigers reliever Alex Lange and the White Sox bench took issue with it, resulting in bench coach Miguel Cairo’s ejection. Abreu then tried

DETROIT — Wily Peralta labored through a 29-pitch first inning Sunday that seemed to last forever, the right-hander taking his time. He used 100 pitches for just 4 2/3 innings, yet lasted that long because he never broke down and gave up a big inning. Even in his struggles, he gave the Tigers a chance,

It breaks my heart to say this, but: There is only one week left in the regular season. Can you believe it? The postseason will be wonderful, but after Sunday, it’s going to be until next March that every Major League Baseball team plays on the same day. That is hard to wrap one’s mind

DETROIT — Akil Baddoo began his rookie campaign cranking balls out of Comerica Park. The way his game has evolved this season, it figures he would end his season in Detroit keeping balls in.
