It’s easy to forget now. But there were plenty of critics when the Detroit Tigers drafted Riley Greene with the fifth pick in 2019: Riley Greene is not fast enough. Not athletic enough and has a fringy arm. Best pure high school hitter in this draft class but has a hitch in his swing and
The Tigers are promoting top prospect Riley Greene, according to various reporters (including Chris McCosky of the Detroit News). Outfielder Austin Meadows is going on the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move. Had it not been for a fractured right foot suffered in the last few days of Spring Training, Greene was on track to
Detroit — What teams around baseball knew would happen is happening. Starting Monday, as Major League Baseball informed clubs on Friday, teams will be required to carry 13 pitchers and 13 position players for the remainder of the season. The league twice extended the deadline and allowed teams to carry an extra reliever. The Tigers
It’s a delayed debut, but that’s only made it even more highly anticipated. The Tigers are calling up No. 2 overall prospect Riley Greene to the Majors on Saturday, the club announced. Fellow outfielder Austin Meadows is headed to the COVID-19 injured list, which makes room for Greene on the Detroit 26-man roster, but Greene
Detroit — The future is now for Tigers outfielder Riley Greene. The Tigers called up their top prospect Friday from Triple-A Toledo and he’ll be in Saturday’s lineup to make his debut against the Texas Rangers at 4:10 at Comerica Park. Greene suffered a broken foot just before the start of the season and he’s
In 15 games at Triple-A Toledo, the 21-year-old batted .274/.338/.387 with one homer and six RBIs. Greene had a late start to his season after fracturing a bone in his right foot, the product of a foul ball off Gerrit Cole in the final days of Spring Training. If not for that freak play, Greene would
More than two months ago, Detroit Tigers top prospect Riley Greene fractured his right foot on a foul ball in spring training. Because of the injury, he didn’t make the Opening Day roster. Now, Greene is healthy. It’s time. The Tigers announced they’re calling him up Saturday for his MLB debut against the Texas Rangers at
Detroit — It was just a couple of weeks ago. Eric Haase had been rung up on a pitch well below the strike zone. There were runners at second and third early in the game. He was understandably frustrated afterward, but he was also more empathetic than most would have been. “These are the best
Entering this season, the Detroit Tigers wanted to see if catcher Dillon Dingler could adjust to Double-A Erie. The 23-year-old was drafted by the Tigers in the second round, No. 38 overall, in 2020 out of Ohio State. He is the third-best prospect in the organization, according to MLB Pipeline, and has been called the catcher of
Let’s not forget where all this started — with playoff talk from just about everyone, but most notably from Al Avila and A.J. Hinch. The Detroit Tigers’ general manager and manager, respectively, were coming off a promising 2021 season bolstered by free-agent additions and the promise of two potential rookie stars. They didn’t shy away

DETROIT — Beau Brieske was wrapping up his postgame interview Thursday at his locker in the Tigers’ clubhouse when closer Gregory Soto walked by and gave an apologetic gesture. Brieske responded with a reassuring, “all good” nod. No words needed to be spoken. This is how the Tigers are sticking it out through a Murphy’s
It can be said with authority that this is the most insane season of baseball in Tigers history. Research it to death. In what other year did a Detroit team lose 80% of its starting pitching — in April and May? In what other season that a rotation was ravaged did the Tigers also lose, at
Detroit — A bona-fide pitcher’s duel broke out at Comerica Park Thursday night. Texas’ veteran left-hander Martin Perez and Tigers’ rookie righty Beau Brieske traded zeros for five-plus innings. Perez was keeping the Tigers off balance with a mix of changeups, sinkers and cutters. Brieske limited the Rangers to three singles, expertly locating sliders and
In A.J. Hinch’s words, on Thursday, the Detroit Tigers found another way to lose, falling 3-1 to the Texas Rangers. Detroit’s bullpen had been used so frequently earlier in the week, Hinch needed to use three position players to pitch on Wednesday. On Thursday, Beau Brieske tried to do the heavy lifting himself.

Former Detroit Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya has been vocal about the team’s 2022 struggles. He didn’t hold back after Wednesday’s effort. A.J. Hinch and Co. held a team meeting after a 13-0 loss to the White Sox on Wednesday afternoon — a game in which three position players pitched. It was as embarrassing as they…
Players-only meetings are a cliché. They are also barometers of how the season is going. If a team gathers without its coaches and/or management, as the Detroit Tigers did Wednesday after losing to the White Sox, 13-0, you can bet the team is struggling. The Tigers are struggling; this is an understatement, I realize. The
