Cleveland — Tigers right-hander Michael Lorenzen wanted his changeup back. With the Reds in 2019, he limited hitters to a .108 batting average and got a 44.7% whiff rate with that pitch. Same thing in 2020, 44.6% whiff rate. It was pretty good last season, too, holding hitters to a .154 average with a 38%
CLEVELAND — Right-hander Alex Faedo is a member of the Detroit Tigers‘ rotation again.

Cleveland – It wasn’t for a lack of opportunity, that’s for sure. And afterward there was no lack of accountability in the Tigers’ clubhouse.

The top free agent storyline of each of the past two offseasons was the respective star-studded shortstop classes. In 2021-22, it was Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Trevor Story and Javier Báez. Last winter, Correa was back on the market again, joined by Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts and Dansby Swanson. Next winter’s group was never going to rival that previous collection.
Cleveland — It feels like there’s a lesson in here somewhere. Maybe not. Maybe it’s just a trait intrinsic to all great players. Just part of the package, not meant to serve any grand purpose. Still, it was pretty cool to see. Miguel Cabrera is 40 years old. This is his 21st and final big-league

Those with at least 25 years of Tigers historical recall will remember various names of pitchers past. Seth Greisinger. Matt Wheatland. Mike Drumright. Kenny Baugh. Kyle Sleeth. Matt Anderson. All were first-choice Tigers draft picks. All got hurt, shortening or ruining probable big-league careers. Those with shallower memories know about Casey Mize, Alex Faedo, and
Cleveland – AJ Hinch was asked after the game Monday if Andy Ibanez, who started the season at Toledo, was starting to feel a part of things on this team. “He should feel 100 percent a part of it because he’s playing virtually every day,” Hinch said. “And he is contributing, which is nice. I
