Shortstop Trey Sweeney, acquired just over two weeks ago in the deal that sent Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be called up for his major league debut during this weekend’s home series against the New York Yankees. Things will come full circle for the 24-year-old, left-handed hitting

Day game, unlikely comeback, kids… baseball might be fun again.

In the first, Faedo gave up back-to-back
Toledo Mud Hens 6, Charlotte Knights (F/12)(box) Like their major league brethren, the Mud Hens had to fight their way to an extra innings victory on Wednesday evening. They jumped right out to a lead in the first when Ryan Vilade led off the game with a single and then stole second and third base.
Like Peter Frampton in 1976, the Tigers’ bats Came Alive! on Tuesday night with a whopping fifteen runs. Well, it was a noticeably more pitcher-dominated game on Wednesday night, and until the late innings it didn’t look like the Tigers would even get on the board. But with a two-out home run from a usual-suspect,
Charlotte Knights 3, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Casey Mize cruised through his rehab outing and Spencer Torkelson went yard but the rest of the offense was quiet as the Knights took the first of six in Charlotte. Mize looked good. He went 3 1⁄3 innings, allowing just a hit, a walk, and one hit
This is the kind of game you can kind of sit back, kick your feet up, and remember how fun it is to watch good baseball. Tarik Skubal was on the mound for the Tigers, up against George Kirby, and yes, it feels like deja vu, but that is sort of how these things go

The Tigers announced that outfielder Kerry Carpenter has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Infielder/outfielder Ryan Vilade was optioned to Triple-A Toledo to open an active roster spot. In a corresponding 40-man roster move, right-hander Brendan White was recalled from Double-A Erie and placed on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow strain.
The Detroit Tigers return home this week after a West Coast road swing that saw the team beat the Seattle Mariners but lose to the San Francisco Giants in a pair of three-game series, respectively.

The finale of a three-game weekend series in San Francisco featured a first major-league home run, a pair of rundowns in the same inning, and a 5-4 Tigers victory on Sunday afternoon. A pair of late innings loses hurt, and yet the Tigers still come away with a .500 road trip despite the lengthy injured
We’ve been pretty frustrated with the Tigers lack of high leverage relief this season, but with the pitching staff racked with injuries it’s impressive that they continue to keep them in games. Problem is the lineup is full of Triple-A players again, and the Giants had little trouble shutting them down on Saturday to take
The Tigers announced that outfielder Wenceel Perez has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. Outfielder Akil Baddoo was called up from Triple-A to fill Perez’s spot on the active roster. An IL stint seemed likely for Perez after he left last night’s game early due to soreness in
