Ian Krol was very clear about his intentions during Spring Training this year when he remarked, “I’m coming for everything they said I couldn’t have.” It was quite a bold statement for a guy who had pitched only one game in the Majors since 2017, but Krol had the work ethic and the focus to
The best-case scenario for Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull is an early August return — a much different assumption than manager AJ Hinch presented Sunday, when he said Turnbull reported “no problems” after throwing a bullpen in Lakeland, Florida.

Arlington, Texas — He’s got them all shaking their heads in wonder down here.

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch spoke about the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal during an appearance on MLB Network’s “High Heat” on Tuesday. The Detroit Tigers were in need of a new manager after Ron Gardenhire retired in 2020, so they opted to sign former Houston Astros skipper A.J. Hinch. The ex-Astros manager was suspended for…
Arlington, Texas – The Tigers didn’t play an especially clean baseball game here Tuesday and they were justifiably whipped by the Texas Rangers, 10-5 at Globe Life Field. “We didn’t play well enough to win and they took advantage of it,” manager AJ Hinch said. “So credit to them.” The Rangers broke a 5-5 tie
Arlington, Texas – The Tigers didn’t play an especially clean baseball game here Tuesday and they were justifiably whipped by the Texas Rangers, 10-5 at Globe Life Field. The Rangers broke a 5-5 tie in the bottom of the seventh, two runs scoring on a fielding error in left field by Eric Haase on a
Former Detroit Tigers catcher John Hicks has played four games for the Texas Rangers. In the fourth inning, he stepped into the batter’s box for his 10th at-bat in 2021. Three pitches later, Hicks came away with his fourth home run — a two-run blast for a 2-1 lead — on a hanging slider from
There’s something brewing in the Tigers’ clubhouse lately. Whether it’s a flash in the pan during a long season, youth coming into its own or inspiration gleaned from its crafty new manager, there’s no doubt Detroit has been fun to watch lately.

You’ve no doubt heard the saying about needing a second pair of eyes on something, but Zack Short’s interpretation of the phrase took things to a whole new level.

The Detroit Tigers lost some of their coaching firepower Tuesday when third base coach Chip Hale packed his bags for the University of Arizona, where he will be introduced Wednesday as the baseball team’s head coach.

The Detroit Tigers ran into pitching trouble in June, considering right-hander Spencer Turnbull went to the injured list June 5 with a right forearm strain and lefty Matthew Boyd was sidelined June 15 with left arm discomfort.

Detroit Tigers reliever Jose Cisnero could have been an All-Star in 2021. Instead, the other half of the Tigers’ one-two punch out of the bullpen gets to make the trip to Denver. Left-hander Gregory Soto will represent his team on the American League All-Star roster. It’s the 26-year-old’s first All-Star Game in his third MLB season. But
Arlington, Texas — We were all forewarned. Manager AJ Hinch very nearly did it against Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in spring training, and he said then, don’t be surprised if he uses a four-man outfield at some point this season. That point in the season was Monday in the Tigers’ 7-3 win over the Texas Rangers in their
