TOLEDO, Ohio — Spencer Torkelson already has been through a slow start at a new Minor League level this season, only to break out of it with help from a home run. His first Triple-A homer might be a sign of things to come. One day before his 22nd birthday, Torkelson crushed a line drive

Royals: Bobby Witt Jr, SS (MLB No. 3), Triple-A OmahaWitt Jr. drove in three and tallied three extra-base hits — two doubles and a home run — in a 3-for-5 performance. The Royals’ No. 1 prospect started things off with a two-run bomb on the first pitch he saw, his 27th dinger of the season

The start of the international signing period, the glorious time on the baseball calendar when prospects from across the globe sign with big league teams and take their first step toward fulfilling their Major League dreams, is only a few months away. The start of the period doesn’t fall on July 2 anymore, but it’s

ST. LOUIS — The K in Tarik stands for strikeout. Tarik Skubal added to his rookie resumé with 10 strikeouts on Wednesday afternoon at Busch Stadium and showed why Detroit is so high on him.

No, the 24-year-old right-hander did not hit one of the towering home runs that has marked Cabrera’s career. But he did show that his bat flip ranks right up there with the future Hall of Famer’s.

ST. LOUIS — Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo considers himself lucky. Well, as lucky as a guy who sustained a concussion can feel.

The in-season rankings provide a good snapshot of where each club stands after movement brought on by the Trade Deadline, 2021

TORONTO — From the camera view, Derek Hill seemingly came out of nowhere for another highlight catch. But as he closed the gap with each stride on Blue Jays rookie Kevin Smith’s drive in left-center field, he had a moment of decision.

It’s approximately 60 miles between Toledo’s Fifth Third Field and Detroit’s Comerica Park. With each swing of his bat, Riley Greene inches that much closer to a future home in Motown.

At this point in his career, Miguel Cabrera didn’t need to reach the 500-home run mark to be considered the best Venezuelan Major Leaguer. His overall numbers leading up to his 500th round-tripper on Sunday had long ago cemented that status. But now, as a newly minted member of the club — the 28th in

TORONTO — The man whose home run power has made Comerica Park look small for well over a decade just hit his biggest milestone at Rogers Centre. Miguel Cabrera became the 28th member of Major League Baseball’s 500-homer club with his sixth-inning drive to right-center Sunday against the Blue Jays. Cabrera became the first player

Cabrera entered one of baseball’s more revered inner circles as the 28th member of the 500-home run club, becoming the first to join it since David Ortiz in September 2015 and, perhaps, the last new member we see for quite a while: 41-year-old Nelson Cruz is next on the active list with 443 homers (though

DETROIT — Miguel Cabrera is the 28th member of MLB’s 500-homer club. Either late this season or early next, he’ll likely become just the seventh Major Leaguer with 500 career home runs and 3,000 hits.
