“Woof! Woof! WOOF!” The barking starts whenever Nick Maton walks into the Detroit Tigers‘ clubhouse. “It’s not just barking; he’ll snarl at you, too,” Zach McKinstry said Wednesday afternoon. “I love it.” Maton, affectionately referred to as “Wolfie” by his teammates, barks constantly. “It is 24-7 — seven days a week,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch
Not long ago, any given year in Major League Baseball might have seen a handful of players have player options to decide upon at the end of a season. Opt-out clauses have slowly worked their way into normalcy among contract negotiations, however, and what was once a perk typically reserved for star players has become
The Toledo Mud Hens (11-5) defeated the Columbus Clippers (8-9) Wednesday night 5-3. Toledo moves to 2-0 vs Columbus in their first series of the season between the Ohio rivals. Toledo’s starting pitcher Reese Olson struggled right out of the gate. He took the mound in the bottom of the The Toledo Mud Hens (11-5)
We hear from Spencer Torkelson after the Tigers come up just short in a 3-2 loss against the Guardians.
Zach McKinstry shares his thoughts on today’s game, the Tigers recent success, and his first home run in the Old English D.
The season isn’t quite three weeks old and already nine Top 100 Prospects have been called up to the big leagues: Francisco Álvarez (No. 1 on the list), Grayson Rodriguez (No. 5), Taj Bradley (No. 18), Brett Baty (No. 19), Oswald Peraza (No. 46), Brayan Rocchio (No. 69), Zach Neto (No. 82), Joey Wiemer (No.
Detroit — Spencer Turnbull spent 19 months learning to be patient. It’s not his go-to frame of mind. But recovering from Tommy John surgery is a painstakingly slow and arduous and, frankly, lonely process. Being patient is not only a virtue, it’s mandatory. Lo and behold, four starts into his return to the Tigers’ rotation
DETROIT — The moment Spencer Torkelson took to admire his home run Wednesday looked like a throwback to his “Tork Bomb” days at Arizona State. It was well-deserved. Not only was it the Tigers’ first run of the afternoon, it was just the second home run by a right-handed hitter off Guardians reliever Trevor Stephan
Detroit — Tigers’ right-hander Jason Foley has been an aggressive participant in many a postgame beer shower the last couple of years. Beer showers, which involve a multitude of powders, liquids and food products, are administered to players who get a first — a first win, a first save, etc. Foley was the one who
Before Wednesday’s game, Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch talked about some of the impending challenges in the series finale at Comerica Park. One of the biggest challenges he highlighted: “Getting Cleveland out of town before José Ramírez does anything.” The Tigers were so close. Ramírez — who entered the three-game series with five strikeouts across 75

We hear from manager A.J. Hinch after the Tigers put in another late inning effort, but this time they fall short by a run. #RepDetroit
Detroit Tigers’ pitchers could only get José Ramirez out so many times before getting crushed. Going back to game two of Tuesday’s doubleheader, Detroit hurlers had retired the Cleveland slugger seven-straight times, including five strikeouts — one of which came via pitch clock violation. They couldn’t keep him down forever, though, as Ramirez took Detroit
Detroit — Spencer Turnbull’s last start, in which he pitched effectively in Toronto and earned his first win since May 29, 2021, got lost in all the drama of the Javier Báez benching. He followed up with another strong start on Wednesday, pitching scoreless ball into the sixth inning. But this one was marred, too

Detroit — AJ Hinch walked into the media room after the Tigers completed the doubleheader sweep over the Guardians on Tuesday and cracked, “If you any of you write anything negative about the pitch-timer…” No chance. The Tigers completed the second game of the doubleheader, a 1-0 win, in one hour and 50 minutes. That
Detroit Tigers reliever Jason Foley emerged from the bullpen at Comerica Park for the ninth inning, looking to protect a 1-0 lead — and Eduardo Rodriguez’s brilliant eight-inning performance — in Game 2 of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians. The song for his jog to the mound? “What Is Love” by Haddaway. “What is love? Oh
Detroit — Get Jake Rogers talking about the evolution of the catcher position and settle in. He’s working on his doctorate in the craft. “There’s no position in baseball that’s evolved more than the catcher position,” he said. And if you look back at the black-and-whites from the 1920s and 1930s, yeah, it’s hard to
For the fourth time in his career, Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez completed eight innings. But he wanted more. The 30-year-old, who signed a five-year, $77 million contract in November 2021, wanted to take the mound for the ninth inning in pursuit of a complete game shutout, which would have been the first of his
