Detroit — The unofficial start of summer is here, Comerica Park capacity restrictions are gone, and the Yankees are swept. The weekend’s three-game meltdown by New York was a reminder of past playoff poundings, while the young Tigers continued to show promise. Baseball is slowly inching its way back to life in downtown Detroit, further witnessed

While one Tigers top prospect is going on a much-anticipated hitting tear, another one spent his Saturday taking hits away. Spencer Torkelson returned to the High-A West Michigan lineup in time for a two-homer outburst for the Whitecaps Saturday night against Lake County. MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 overall prospect now has three home runs in
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch isn’t calling Grayson Greiner’s situation a setback, but there is a delay in the backup catcher’s return from the injured list. Greiner hasn’t played during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo since Thursday, his second game for the Mud Hens. He was placed on the 10-day injured list May 12 with a
Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch doesn’t like accepting moral victories or silver linings. The 2017 World Series winner with the highest managerial winning percentage in Houston Astros history, Hinch views the game in two ways. You win or you lose. The Tigers have done more losing than winning this season, with a 21-31 record. They’re in last place
It’s not always the stuff that counts. Though if you’re building an ace pitcher, you could do a lot worse than starting with the arm talent of Detroit Tigers rookie Casey Mize. He throws four pitches well. Two of them — his splitter and breaking ball — are punchout-quality no matter the count or hitter. He can also throw any
Detroit — For a minute there Saturday, Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull looked vulnerable. He was spraying pitches, missing spots, seemingly searching his rhythm and release point. “I was nowhere close to the strike zone,” Turnbull said. “It’s hard. It’s like a mental battle because you’re so frustrated with yourself. You aren’t getting beat by them, you’re
DETROIT — The more Spencer Turnbull pitches, the more his no-hitter from last week looks like a stepping stone in his development. It’s not for his ability to throw no-hit stuff in two outings since, but his ability to succeed when his arsenal of pitches has been far from that quality. A year ago, maybe
Detroit — For a minute there Saturday, Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull looked vulnerable. He was spraying pitches, missing spots, seemingly searching his rhythm and release point. That lasted for roughly five hitters. Then he went back to being mostly unhittable. Turnbull allowed a run and three singles through 5.2 innings and the Tigers beat the Yankees for
After Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull found his groove on the mound, his offense provided him with run support. The loudest punch was delivered by Jonathan Schoop, who hammered a 382-foot home run to left field for a 6-1 lead in the fifth inning. But the key runs were plated earlier in the fifth, thanks to doubles

Detroit – Bet if you asked Zack Short what he wanted for his 26th birthday — which was Saturday — it would be this: The Tigers called him up from Toledo to fill the roster spot temporarily vacated by pitcher Jose Urena, who went on the 10-day injured list. “Shorty has been here before and
DETROIT — As expected, the Tigers placed right-hander José Ureña on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right forearm strain. They’re not expecting him to be on there for long. Though Ureña’s lower right forearm strain sounds like a bad injury, given how often it seems to happen before a more serious elbow
Casey Mize dealt a strong hand Friday against the New York Yankees to match Gerrit Cole, arguably the best pitcher on the planet. His efforts allowed the Detroit Tigers to have a chance against baseball’s royalty. In five0 starts in May, the 24-year-old Mize had a 1.74 ERA, 0.871 WHIP, 10 walks and 27 strikeouts in 31 innings.
The Detroit Tigers are giving one of their up-and-coming infielders an opportunity, as right-hander Jose Urena was placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday, with a right forearm strain, the team announced Saturday. To fill Urena’s roster spot, the Tigers recalled infielder Zack Short from Triple-A Toledo. Urena, 29, was removed from Wednesday’s
The Tigers announced a pair of corresponding roster moves this morning. Jose Urena has been added to the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain, and infielder Zack Short has been recalled from Triple-A to take his roster spot. It’s going to be a short stint on the IL for Urena, per Evan Woodbery
The Detroit Tigers needed a leader. To fill the role, they called Robbie Grossman in the offseason. “It’s very personal for me,” Tigers manager AJ Hinch said Friday night, after Grossman crushed a two-run walk-off homer to beat the New York Yankees, 3-2, in the 10th inning at Comerica Park. “I saw him as a young player.
Detroit – In the end, it was just a quirk, a curiosity that had no impact on the outcome of the inning or the game, but it’s probably something we may not see again. In the sixth inning of the Tigers 3-2, walk-off, 10-inning win over the Yankees Friday night, Gio Urshela took a three-ball
Detroit Tigers outfielder Robbie Grossman hit a walk-off home run to beat the New York Yankees with a 3-2 count and two outs in the 10th inning. On the final strike for the last out of the 10th inning between the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees, Robbie Grossman struck gold.
Detroit — Looking at it from the outside, it might seem a little daunting for the Tigers, the lowest scoring team in the American League, to face a pair of Cy Young winners in back-to-back games. Players don’t look at it that way. “You don’t reach this level by backing down or bowing down,” manager AJ
Grossman’s first career walk-off homer came after the Yankees went ahead in the top of the 10th on a wild pitch and gave the Tigers their 20th win of the season. Grossman’s bat flip was a result of not only the Tigers walking away with a win, but also sending the ball 366 feet to
