TOLEDO, Ohio — Detroit Tigers top prospect Riley Greene is still waiting to feel like himself again. One piece of the puzzle clicked June 2, his third for game for Triple-A Toledo, when he launched a three-run home run off the scoreboard in right field. He also had a single and a walk in that

Pittsburgh — With another pitcher, they might call it pitching backwards. But with reliever Alex Lange, good luck trying to figure out the back from the front. “I just pitch,” said Lange, who has emerged as the Tigers’ primary set-up man. “That’s all I do. I just go out and pitch, get outs, execute, throw
The Detroit Tigers lost three straight games to the New York Yankees over the weekend at Yankee Stadium. The series was mostly lopsided: Elvin Rodriguez tipped his pitches in Friday’s 13-0 loss, the Tigers’ offense went 21 innings without scoring a run, and defensive miscues led to Sunday’s 5-4 loss in extra innings. But in Saturday’s 3-0 loss, right-hander
PITTSBURGH — For a moment, Tarik Skubal had been scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday at PNC Park. The Pirates probably wish it had stayed that way. The reasoning made sense. Though the skies weren’t threatening as game time neared, radar showed a line of thunderstorms clearly headed toward PNC Park; the only question was
Pittsburgh, Pa. — In all the confusion before the game — the rain delay, he’s starting, he’s not starting, wait, he is starting — there was one thing Tarik Skubal was somewhat concerned about. “It’s just a delay,” he said. “You just try to stay out of the kitchen and don’t eat too much. You don’t want
Tarik Skubal was scheduled to start Tuesday night, but 20 minutes before the originally scheduled first pitch — fearing the impending rain may break up his start — the Detroit Tigers announced he would be pushed back to Wednesday. However, after a two-hour and five-minute rain delay, it was clear there wouldn’t be another break in the
The Tigers are shutting down Casey Mize from his throwing program, manager A.J. Hinch told reporters (including Jason Beck of MLB.com). The right-hander, who has been out since mid-April due to a sprained medial ligament in his elbow, had been experiencing continued soreness while throwing from 90 feet at flat ground. Hinch indicated Mize was headed
Pittsburgh — For a couple of days there, it seemed possible that we might not see Austin Meadows again this season. The medical information being passed down was vague at best and, frankly, ominous. “I don’t know when he will be back,” manager AJ Hinch said at one point. So it came as a bit of a
Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows, sidelined since May 16 with vertigo symptoms, has returned from the injured list and will play against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. But the Tigers are dealing with another injury. Third baseman Jeimer Candelario has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, with a left shoulder

NEW YORK — Tucker Barnhart believes rookie pitcher Elvin Rodriguez has a bright future ahead of him, the type of future that will put him on the mound at Yankee Stadium for a second time. Each trip to Yankee Stadium, though, will come with a memory of his first time. The New York Yankees throttled Rodriguez for

Detroit — AJ Hinch has been through this before. Maybe not with a player quite as mercurial as Javier Báez, but he’s had to massage the bruised psyches of struggling superstar players before. Carlos Correa and George Springer both went through miserable stretches during Hinch’s time in Houston. Back in 2018, Correa hit .181 the
The Aug. 2 Trade Deadline will be here before you know it, and as we get closer to the All-Star break, it’s a great time to consider what trade chips each club has to offer, whether they’re in postseason contention, out of contention or somewhere in between. With the help of each MLB.com beat writer,
We knew inflation was bad, but $140 million just doesn’t buy what it used to in MLB. Oh, the Detroit Tigers’ troubles at the plate aren’t entirely Javier Báez’s fault. He’s clearly trying to hit, or at least clearly swinging at everything, via the Wayne Gretzky school of thought: “You miss 100% of the sliders
Lance Lynn is scheduled to make his third rehab start on Wednesday, White Sox manager Tony La Russa told reporters (including Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times). Beyond that, La Russa left open the possibility that Lynn could be activated from the 60-day injured list, assuming that the veteran right-hander is feeling good coming
