After splitting the first two games of a three-game weekend series in Minnesota, on Sunday the Tigers bounced back from some questionable fielding the day before to seal the series victory with a nice, easy 6-1 win. All eyes have been on Casey Mize this spring, tracking his continuing injury recovery. Early returns have been

The Tigers informed reporters that depth starter Sawyer Gipson-Long will undergo an internal brace surgery on Monday to repair his UCL (X link via Evan Woodbery of MLive). He’ll miss the entire 2024 season. It’s an unfortunate but not especially surprising revelation. Gipson-Long had gone for various evaluations after feeling forearm tightness a couple weeks

The big story for today was on the Rangers’ side, as hot pitching prospect Jack Leiter made his MLB debut this afternoon against the Tigers. He was up against Kenta Maeda, who has been struggling mightily early in the season, so it was going to be interesting to see how the young starter fared against
Toledo Mud Hens vs. Rochester Red Wings Rain washed this one out in the second inning. After delaying the start time, they decided to try and get an official game in, but the window collapsed within an hour and the deluge began again. Keider Montero gave up a run on a single and a double
The Braves placed Ozzie Albies on the injured list yesterday after the star second baseman fractured a toe on a hit-by-pitch.
