CHICAGO – Michael Fulmer made the adjustment from the routine of the starting rotation to the regular grind of the late-inning bullpen surprising well. “I’ve learned that adrenaline is a heck of a drug,” the starter turned reliever joked from the dugout at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday afternoon. Now, he has made the adjustment
CHICAGO — For the second time in six days, Casey Mize kept the Tigers in a pitching duel against a veteran ace. For his first time in six weeks, he paid for home runs in a defeat. The blinking lights at Guaranteed Rate Field couldn’t hide the look of frustration on Mize’s face as Yasmani

A 442-foot Tork Bomb to the shrubs in straightaway center field? Sounds like a preview of things to come when Spencer Torkelson eventually gets to Comerica Park, but it was actually his Thursday night performance for High-A West Michigan. His fourth professional home run was a tape-measure drive to the trees beyond center at Dow
CHICAGO — Derek Hill has been a defensive specialist for so much of his brief Major League career that he has more games played (17) than plate appearances (13) in the big leagues. With Victor Reyes on the injured list, it might be time for the Tigers to figure out what their former first-round pick
Last week, we covered the prospect hitters off to the best starts across the Minor Leagues. Next up: the pitchers. No more guessing at how a mid-90s fastball will play at a certain level or if a plus slider will miss enough bats to be effective. We have one month of Minor League data to

Normally at this time of year, with college conference tournaments just completed and high school seasons nearly over, we’d be in full-on Draft fever/panic mode, trying to get one of our last mocks correct right before the Draft started. So it’s been hard to tell that muscle memory to take a break and slow the
Another new Rookie Power Rankings, another Marlin at the top of the list. Miami left-hander Trevor Rogers climbed two places to take over the No. 1 spot in this latest edition of the RPR, replacing infielder and teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the top.

DETROIT — Somewhere along the path to another top pick in next year’s MLB Draft and a potential run at an American League-record 119-loss season, the Tigers quietly started playing better baseball. New manager A.J. Hinch’s messages about competing, putting balls in play on offense and making plays on defense began to take hold. And

At first, it looked like the game was going to be a laugher, after the Tigers scored six runs
Don’t be surprised if you see Funkhouser in more high-leverage situations. Entering Tuesday’s action, Funkhouser has a 2.13 ERA and an opponent’s batting average of .146 in nine games. He is becoming a real matchup strength for the Tigers. Funkhouser’s value to Tigers manager A.J. Hinch is that he can be a long or short
As we inch toward the start of summer, trade chatter around Major League Baseball will inevitably heat up in anticipation of the July 30 Trade Deadline.

This Wednesday, June 2, is Lou Gehrig Day, the day he began his consecutive games streak that would end at 2,130. (A more round number than Cal Ripken’s 2,632.) Both Gehrig’s and Ripken’s streaks seem incredibly disassociated from the game of baseball as it is played today, and really, any sport: Suffice it to say,
It turned out to be a bullpen day for the Tigers on Monday at American Family Field and it went well until the 10th inning, when Luis Urías’ walk-off single helped the Brewers win the game, 3-2.
