Detroit — Asked if he was comfortable with his role coming back after a stint on the injured list, Tyler Alexander shrugged. Reliever, starter, what does it matter at this point? “I’ve always done that, right?” he said. Yep, he’s the proverbial Swiss Army knife and he will continue to be now that his elbow is

Detroit Tigers left-hander Tyler Alexander, reinstated from the injured list, returned to his team’s clubhouse at Comerica Park and will pitch as a reliever despite beginning the season as a starter. He brought with him a signature look from last season, inspired by catcher Jake Rogers. “When things go wrong, grow the mustache,” Alexander said Tuesday. Alexander began growing his
Detroit Tigers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was placed on the restricted list to deal with a marital issue, the New York Post’s Jon Heyman reported Tuesday. The Tigers announced they were placing Rodriguez on the list on Monday, citing “personal matters.” Tigers general manager Al Avila and Rodriguez’s agent, Gene Mato, declined The Post’s request for additional comment
DETROIT — Somewhere in the bowels of Comerica Park, in storage with other clubhouse items, was a Randy “Macho Man” Savage replica wrestling belt. Former Tigers reliever Derek Holland had bought it last year to hand out to the player of the game each time they won, a way to build clubhouse morale on a
Detroit — It’s never as dark as it seems. Light is always just one win away. But it sure feels like the light is pretty far down the track right now for the Tigers. They were beaten by a depleted Chicago White Sox team, 9-5 on a rainy Monday night at Comerica Park — a
The Detroit Tigers fell behind in the top of the first inning. Early runs for the opposition typically results in a loss, considering the Tigers average an MLB-worst 2.78 runs per game, but in Monday’s game, manager A.J. Hinch’s offense punched back several times. Still, the Tigers lost, 9-5, to the Chicago White Sox in the first

A reminder, as always: this is not about who’s having the best season. It’s not about who’s going to win Rookie of the Year. It’s about who’s hot — rookie players who have
Tigers pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez, who was on his way back from an injury, will not rejoin Detroit because of “personal matters.”
Detroit Tigers rookie Kody Clemens was searching for his first hit. He brought a positive attitude each day, almost as if the hitless streak to start his MLB career didn’t bother him. The 26-year-old surely wanted to get his first hit out of the way, but he refused to press for results. Instead, Clemens trusted the
Detroit — A year ago at this time, it was fair to wonder why the Tigers hadn’t cut ties with reliever Joe Jimenez. The one-time All-Star, coming off two rough seasons, didn’t make the roster of spring training and then struggled mightily once he did get called up, walking 15 in 8.2 innings and posting
DETROIT — The Tigers placed Opening Day starter Eduardo Rodriguez on the restricted list Monday. “Eduardo Rodriguez has informed the club that due to personal matters he will not rejoin the team at this time,” general manager Al Avila said in a statement. “As a result, Eduardo has been placed on the restricted list until
Detroit — The Tigers are going to be without left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez indefinitely, and not because of an injury. The club announced before the game Monday they had placed Rodriguez on the restricted list. He will not be paid during his absence and he does not count against the 40-man roster. “Eduardo Rodriguez has informed
The Detroit Tigers will be without left-handed starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez for the foreseeable future. Rodriguez, who signed a five-year, $77 million contract in November, told the Tigers he isn’t coming back to the team because of a personal matter.

So, how’s your elbow feeling?

Miguel Cabrera was on the field posing for a picture when Victor Martinez, his old teammate, sneaked into the Detroit Tigers‘ dugout. “What about the ball from 3,000?
