Hamtramck — Hamtramck Stadium is the second-oldest Negro League ballpark still standing in 2022.

Third baseman Jeimer Candelario will likely be activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. (Twitter links from Evan Woodbery of MLive.) After today, all teams in baseball will be allowed to use no more than
Riley Greene woke up one morning last May and wondered what his life had come to. In that sense, he was no different than many other young adults trying to find their place in the world. It’s a little different when that moment happens while he’s cuddling a baseball bat in his sleep. He’d gone

Detroit — Maybe AJ Hinch just wanted to go hang out with his kids on Father’s Day. Or maybe — and perhaps more likely — he was arguing balls and strikes with the umpire behind home plate, who ran Hinch out of the game in the third inning of the Tigers’ 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Sunday. It’s
Detroit — Tigers top prospect Riley Greene arrived on the scene Saturday and reached base safely four times to help propel Detroit to a 14-7 win over the Texas Rangers, snapping a six-game losing skid. Greene registered two singles and a pair of walks working out of the sixth spot in the lineup. On Sunday, however, he
He can be overlooked, even forgotten, when Colt Keith, Ryan Kreidler, Cristian Santana, Izaac Pacheco — and others tend to be the Tigers’ spicier farm-system celebrities.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch emerged from the dugout in the third inning. He got in the face of home plate umpire Jansen Visconti and was ejected for arguing balls and strikes. Robbie Grossman took a called strike on a pitch below the strike zone, then struck out on a questionable check swing. Those calls

Maybe it was Riley Greene, the Detroit Tigers‘ top prospect called up for his anticipated MLB debut. Maybe it was the Detroit Stars uniforms as part of Negro Leagues Weekend. Maybe it was a little bit of everything. Whatever the reason, the Tigers looked like a different team in Saturday’s 14-7 win against the Texas Rangers
