With three open days before the start of the regular season on Thursday, it seemed likely that Scott Harris would be making moves as teams finalized their rosters around the league. That has come to pass as the Tigers dealt right-handed minor league pitcher Carlos Guzman to the Chicago Cubs for veteran utilityman Zack McKinstry.

The Cubs have informed reporters, including Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic, that they have traded infielder Zach McKinstry to the Tigers for right-hander Carlos Guzman. In order to make room on their 40-man roster for McKinstry, the Tigers have recalled Freddy Pacheco and placed him on the 60-day injured list, per Jason Beck of MLB.com.
The Tigers entered 2021 with low expectations, made lower after a miserable first month, then played better the rest of the way for a 77-win season. That raised expectations for ’22, then everything went wrong and they lost 96 games. This year’s Tigers should be able to find a middle ground. While president of baseball

The Tigers have long been a popular team in Latin America, not just due to Miguel Cabrera but because of fellow Venezuelan greats Magglio Ordóñez, Carlos Guillén and Anibal Sánchez before him. Now,
Let’s be frank with each other: the Tigers were a real disappointment last season. After an offseason filled with hyped up free agent signings and dreams of young players taking the next steps in becoming high quality major leaguers, April through September brought injuries, poor performance, and disappointment with only occasional glimpses of hope for
As a Rule 5 draft selection in 2021, Akil Baddoo burst onto the scene and immediately became a fan favorite in Detroit. In his first major league at bat, he launched a home run on the first pitch he saw. Talk about bursting onto the scene with a bang. Many exciting moments followed and while
Opening Day is upon us, and with it comes the celebration of a new Major League season. One of the biggest questions surrounding each of the 30 MLB clubs heading into Thursday’s season opener is: What will the very first starting lineup of the regular season look like? With the help of each MLB.com beat
LAKELAND, Fla. — The last time Trevor Rosenthal faced Major League hitters, he was pitching in the 2020 NLCS at Globe Life Field in Texas. Corey Seager was among the Dodgers hitters he faced, and the Padres relievers who pitched before him included Luis Patiño and Matt Strahm. That was 2 1/2 years and two
As expected, the Tigers will place Tyler Nevin on the 10-day injured list to begin the season. Nevin suffered a Grade 1 oblique strain a little less than three weeks ago, making it doubtful that the 25-year-old would be fully recovered in time for Opening Day.

But the thing is: Those teams can survive their absences. They’ll miss those players, of course, but they can get by. Need proof? It was just two seasons ago that the Braves lost superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. to a season-ending knee injury in July … And went on to win the World Series. But as
DUNEDIN, Fla. — Matthew Boyd has nothing left to prove at Spring Training. The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday night, a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays, in part to allow the Tigers to look at other pitchers competing to make the Opening Day roster. “Matt’s done everything that we really wanted

Joey Wentz was pitching too well this spring to keep him down long anyway. In the end, an injury to right-hander Michael Lorenzen left an opening for at least the first turn through the Detroit Tigers’ starting rotation. On Friday, manager A.J. Hinch announced that Wentz will break camp with the major league club for
