Javier Báez. Riley Greene. Spencer Torkelson. Some combination of those three players in the middle of the Detroit Tigers‘ batting order, but always with Torkelson as the cleanup hitter, has happened 10 times this season and eight times since April 29. The Tigers are 5-5 in those games, and 14-17 in their 31 others. The
MIDLAND — Meet Justice Bigbie. Trust me. Remember that name. After playing just 154 games in the Detroit Tigers minor league system, Bigbie has improved tremendously, impressed his bosses, put up some ridiculous stats and turned himself into a bonified Tigers prospect. Even if he’s not even mentioned on top 30 lists. Yet. The first
Comstock Park, Mich. — Jace Jung doesn’t claim to have everything figured out. He continues to be a student of the game of baseball — and a student of the game of life. Jung has millions in the bank, but he still spends his spring mornings in west Michigan taking online classes, working toward earning
Two weeks have passed since Jim Callis officially started our mock Draft season with our first projection of the first round of the 2023 Draft. Now it’s my turn. While there has been some buzz about players moving up and down, and I’ve tried to reflect some of that below, much of what Jim wrote

On Wednesday morning — back when the Detroit Tigers were inching toward .500, and everyone was happy, and the Tigers had ace Eduardo Rodriguez getting ready to pitch — radio host Mike Stone seemed to put a jinx on the Tigers. Stone was interviewing manager A.J. Hinch on WXYT-FM (97.1) during their weekly segment, and
Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch let home plate umpire Nic Lentz know that he was making it all about himself during his ejection on Wednesday. It may be early on in the 2023 MLB season, but there have been a lot of editions of “The Ump Show.” Last week, there was the instance of Alfonso…
Detroit — Miguel Cabrera isn’t winning many footraces these days. But this one looked like a dead heat, which made it worth watching, at least. With two outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the second inning Wednesday afternoon, Cabrera stepped into the batter’s box for his 2,001st career game in a Tigers
DETROIT — Eduardo Rodriguez entered Wednesday with one run allowed over 35 2/3 innings in his last five starts, and one run or less allowed in each of his last six starts, one behind Justin Verlander’s franchise mark. He had allowed one run all season at Comerica Park, covering 21 2/3 innings, and one run
Detroit — Eric Haase wasn’t trying to be argumentative. He just wanted to make his point. “I just simply told him that they’re not on the plate,” he said. “I didn’t think it was that big of an issue. I wasn’t really arguing as much as I was just telling him that’s not a strike.”

In a matchup between Eduardo Rodriguez and Rich Hill, the 30-year-old Rodriguez was expected to outdo the 43-year-old Hill and carry the Detroit Tigers to another series victory. After all, Rodriguez is pitching like an American League Cy Young Award candidate to start the season. But Hill outshined Rodriguez in Wednesday’s two-game series finale at

DETROIT — Pheidippides’ run from the battle of Marathon to Athens. Harry Truman’s run through the Capitol. Roger Bannister’s four-minute mile. And now, Rich Hill. Against the Tigers on Wednesday at Comerica Park, the 43-year-old hurler added his name to the list of history’s unforgettable sprints. With two outs in the second, Miguel Cabrera ripped
Big-money additions are all the rage in every farm system and for good reason. Those prospects come with a ton of hype and generally speaking the tools to back it up. But taking lesser-known talents — whether they be late Draft picks, low signings or trade throw-ins — to the next level is what can
Detroit — It was the fourth inning Tuesday night. Riley Greene had just ripped his third hit of the game and chased Pirates starter Luis Ortiz. Spencer Torkelson sidled up to Javier Báez in the on-deck circle while the reliever was warming up. “Tork said, ‘Man, I want to be seeing the ball like Greeney
Miguel Cabrera is determined to finish out the final year of his MLB career. The 40-year-old, one of the best right-handed hitters in baseball history, is hitting .189 with six walks and 18 strikeouts across 21 games.
