Detroit — The governor’s in the house. No, not that one. The dreaded but inevitable workload governor is in session for rookie right-hander Casey Mize, who was pulled after three innings Friday in the Tigers’ 8-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park. Tigers manager AJ Hinch said before the game that Mize would stay on turn
Detroit Tigers starter Casey Mize did not return to the mound for the fourth inning. The 24-year-old rookie wasn’t injured, and he wasn’t chased by the American League Central-leading Chicago White Sox. Rather, Mize’s start Friday marked the first outing of his innings restrictions — given to many young pitchers league-wide in an effort to protect their arms,
DETROIT – Derek Hill’s latest stint with the Tigers was always going to be a short one. By rule, the team had to send him down after he served as an extra player for Wednesday’s doubleheader sweep in Cleveland, no matter how well he did. Because he’d been optioned to Triple-A Toledo earlier in the

Detroit — It’s not really a competition. They are teammates, they are pulling the rope in the same direction. But it’s kind of a competition. Eventually, manager AJ Hinch will sort out which of his young, athletically gifted outfielders is best suited for center field (in the absence of Derek Hill). But for now Akil Baddoo
Each year more and more folks seem to understand it’s not just the NFL, NBA, and NHL that offer draft-day drama. The MLB Draft has been late to the game, in the public’s consciousness anyway, but now that it has picked up audience and relevance, expect a free-wheeling, hip-shooting, let’s-take-a-stab first round that gets rolling
Since the beginning of June, Miguel Cabrera has (kind of) turned back the clock. He isn’t drawing a ton of walks. He still strikes out too much. And his power, for the most part, hasn’t shown up until recently: He cranked two home runs — Nos. 493 and 494 of his 19-year career — to help the
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — The sons are coming out for this year’s All-Star Game in Denver. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joined his father as an All-Star and Fernando Tatis Jr. accomplished a feat his dad never achieved. Toronto’s first baseman and San Diego’s shortstop were among nine first-time All-Stars elected Thursday to start
By Ronald Blum | Associated Press New York — The major league batting average jumped to .246 in June amid a crackdown by the commissioner’s office on foreign substances utilized by pitchers, raising the season average to .239. The season average is the lowest through June since it was .233 in 1968, the Elias Sports Bureau
Thirty-two of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 Prospects will take the diamond in the year’s best prospect showcase. Following a one-year hiatus, the SiriusXM Futures Game returns on July 11 at Coors Field in Denver.

Detroit — When the Tigers were 36-45 at the midpoint of the 2017, it represented gross underachievement and led ultimately to the end of manager Brad Ausmus’ run, the trading away of stars Justin Verlander, J.D. Martinez, Ian Kinsler and Justin Upton and the first dark days of the teardown. They had the same record
The Tigers found Hall of Famers Alan Trammell and Jack Morris in the MLB Draft. They found future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander there, too. The core of the team’s current young squad came out of Draft picks. They’ve also used top Draft picks on players whose names have been long forgotten. Here’s the full
For the first time since 2016, the Detroit Tigers have consecutive months with a winning record. As if Wednesday’s doubleheader sweep — the franchise’s first against Cleveland since Aug. 7, 1986 and its first sweep in Cleveland since Sept. 14, 1997 — wasn’t enough, securing a 9-4 win in Game 1 and a 7-1 victory in Game
Spencer Torkelson is heading to the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on July 11. He’s the No. 3 prospect in the sport, according to MLBPipeline, and an integral part of the Tigers’ promising rebuild. Yet, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s Draft will need to enjoy a 13-year career — at least — to
Cleveland – Sometimes Eric Haase has to pinch himself to make sure he’s not dreaming all this. It wasn’t his own 442-foot blast into the left field bleachers Wednesday night that fired him up. It was watching Miguel Cabrera banging balls around Progressive Field like Haase has seen him do his entire life. “Him going
For the 494th time in his career, Miguel Cabrera trotted around the bases. And for the 50th time in his career, the 19-year MLB veteran did so against Cleveland. His home run simply served as a cushion for the Detroit Tigers in the fifth inning, but it put Cabrera six home runs away from the
As we approach trade season, teams are burdened with the overwhelming task of re-evaluating the league in the wake of the crackdown on illegal substances. Broad strokes, evaluators will be more trusting of pitchers who rely on two-seamers and sinkers, writes ESPN’s Buster Olney. Unsurprisingly, those pitchers who have taken to the recent trend of
CLEVELAND — Eric Haase’s first home run at Progressive Field came as a member of his hometown team against the organization that drafted him. Miguel Cabrera’s 494th career home run was his 50th against Cleveland. The combination proved crucial to getting the Tigers their first doubleheader sweep in 44 years in a city where they’ve
