Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows took to Twitter this afternoon to announce that he’s been away from the playing field attending to a mental health concern. Manager A.J.

Riley Greene sounded like he was reciting the plot of a movie. “I’ve had a smile on my face all morning,” Greene said. “We were just, like, reunited. It was like we went our separate ways and finally found our way back to each other. It sounds weird, but now we’re back.” Kerry Carpenter, who

We’ve already covered a host of transactions with 40-man roster implications throughout
DETROIT — The Tigers have invested millions into the study of advanced metrics and analytics. Still, it’s understandable that the recurrence of the number zero can feel like a pattern. Thursday’s 7-0 loss to the Mariners at Comerica Park marked the MLB-leading 18th time the Tigers have been shut out this year. “It’s only that
We’ve seen some of the top prospects in baseball ascend to the big leagues in 2022, with many organizations’ No. 1 guys graduating and changing the prospect landscape. That is, after all, the objective, right? Getting prospects to the Major Leagues? There should be more of that in 2023, of course, which led us to
Detroit — The Tigers had two rookie runners thrown out on the bases Wednesday night while the game was still tied. The way manager AJ Hinch saw it, one was a mistake of aggression, the other a lapse in judgment. “They were very different,” he said. Riley Greene led off the fifth inning beating out an
Detroit — Tucker Barnhart was told the 7-0 loss to the Mariners on Thursday was the 18th time this season the Tigers have been shut out. “It’s only that many?” he said. “It’s not higher? Feels like it’s higher.” He wasn’t trying to be funny or sarcastic. The grind of this season, encapsulated in and
Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez wasn’t sharp in his third start since returning from the restricted list. The 29-year-old only issued two walks in Thursday’s start, but he allowed six runs and failed to pitch into the fifth inning. His competition, 25-year-old right-hander Logan Gilbert, twirled six scoreless innings for the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers
Spencer Torkelson, the rookie first baseman, moved into his new locker in the Detroit Tigers‘ clubhouse. “Thank God,” he joked. The old one? Against the other wall? It’s got bad memories from his first stint in Detroit when he hit .197 in 83 games before he was sent back to Toledo. And besides, the old
Detroit — On Wednesday, the day before he was to make his third start since coming off the restricted list, Eduardo Rodriguez talked about the last piece of the puzzle that needed to come back to form — his velocity. “That’s the only part I’m still building up,” he said. “The rest, everything else is fine.

Players in Triple-A Toledo were aware of the timeline. Mud Hens manager Lloyd McClendon called a team meeting after Wednesday’s game in Rochester, New York. Major League Baseball rosters expanded by two players Thursday, and the Detroit Tigers planned to promote at least one position player from Toledo. “We thought we’d figure out who was
Detroit — Infielder Ryan Kreidler, the Tigers’ No. 7-rated prospect, is finally here. First baseman Spencer Torkelson, the No. 1 overall pick in 2020 who struggled out of the gate and was sent back to Triple-A Toledo, is back. Riley Greene has been manning center field and hitting leadoff for a couple of months. Outfielder Kerry
By Jerry Green | Special to The Detroit News Detroit — It was almost midnight when the swindle occurred, a sorry half decade ago. But the pain and the mirth remain. Pain if you’re from Detroit. Mirth and joyous mockery if you’re from Houston. This was the Great Verlander Swindle baseball’s worst player deal in 98 years.
Every team, whether it’s a good one or a bad one or whatever comes in between, has an unsung hero. Call them a glue guy, a secret weapon, the X-factor: He’s the player who is key to everything his team is doing — and is generally underpublicized at doing so. So, this week at The
Matt Manning has taken a step forward in his development this season. He went to the injured list after two starts for the Detroit Tigers in April and tried to come back in late May only to suffer a health setback in Triple-A Toledo. He traveled to Lakeland, Florida, to restart his throwing program and

They’re not going to play every day, with the notable exception of Greene, but they’re going to play enough to show what they can do. Ideally, they’ll play enough for the Tigers to evaluate them for next season. For manager A.J. Hinch, that involves not just playing enough to compile stats, but enough to make
