Minneapolis — The Tigers needed to clear a spot on the 40-man roster to reinstate reliever Andrew Chafin off the restricted list. Center fielder Derek Hill, the Tigers’ first-round pick in 2014, drew the short straw. He was designated for assignment Monday. “Decisions are going to get harder and harder as guys on the 60-day injured

The Tigers have designated outfielder Derek Hill for assignment, per a club announcement. His spot on the 40-man roster will go to lefty Andrew Chafin, who has been reinstated from the restricted list. Detroit also optioned righty Angel De Jesus to Triple-A Toledo to open an active roster spot for Chafin. There’ll be more moves
In a bit of unexpected news on Monday afternoon the Detroit Tigers designated for assignment their former first-round pick Derek Hill. The DFA came as part of a small series of moves so the Tigers could welcome left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin back from the restricted list — however brief that return may be.
The Detroit Tigers signed left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin last March to be a key contributor to their bullpen for the next two seasons. Chafin chose not to get vaccinated against Covid-19, so he wasn’t with the team last weekend in Toronto, but apart from that he has largely held up his end of the bargain,…
Right-hander Derek Law had an … ummm … inauspicious Detroit Tigers debut Saturday in Toronto. Over a 13-pitch span in the sixth inning, he (in order) hit a batter, committed an error, threw a wild pitch and gave up a homer, turning a 3-1 Tigers lead into a 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays and making franchise
Considering that the MLB trade deadline is now only a day away, this preview should be filled with dramatic tension. Lefty Tarik Skubal making potentially his final start in a Tigers’ uniform. The club’s need for young bats could force general manager Al Avila to make a bold move by dealing his top young starting

Indianapolis Indians 4, Toledo Mud Hens 1 (box) Beau Brieske returned to the mound in this one, but as you’d expect he wasn’t very sharp returning from the injured list after a minor bout with forearm soreness. Indy got to him for a couple of runs in the middle innings and went on to win
TORONTO — There was a time, not too long ago, when the Detroit Tigers envisioned a much different approach at the 2022 trade deadline — 6 p.m. Tuesday, less than two hours before they play the Twins in Minnesota. General manager Al Avila expected to add talent at the deadline. So did manager A.J. Hinch. FOR
Detroit — The Tigers are low on chips, ridiculously low. They do have two sizeable ones for Tuesday’s trade deadline, but I’m sorry, GM Al Avila should not be permitted to deal either. Rookie outfielder Riley Greene isn’t going anywhere, obviously. Top pitcher Tarik Skubal is the other big chip and also shouldn’t be going anywhere,
COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps used extra-base power and strong pitching to defeat the Dayton Dragons 6-5 and earn a series split in front of 6,233 fans Sunday afternoon at LMCU Ballpark. West Michigan collected five doubles – one shy of tying their single-game high – as COMSTOCK PARK, MI – The
The Erie SeaWolves took the first five games of the series from the Reading Fightin Phils but fell 5-4 on Sunday at UPMC Park. The loss snapped the SeaWolves’ season-high six-game win streak. Simon Muzziotti opened the scoring with a solo homer off of Reese Olson in the first. Erie The Erie SeaWolves took the
TOLEDO, OH – As the Mud Hens looked to win the series over the Indianapolis Indians, Toledo would have a familiar face on the mound, today. RHP Beau Brieske got the call to the mound, after being sent down for a rehab assignment this week, from the Detroit Tigers. This TOLEDO, OH – As the
Toronto — These days right before the trade deadline are strange times for teams and players, especially for non-contending teams like the Tigers who are waiting for the inevitability that some of their players won’t be around after Tuesday. The Tigers, as we’ve reported, are expecting to lose one or two of their bullpen pieces. Teams
Toronto — The first three games of this series were spirited and competitive. Sunday, not so much. Blue Jays’ right-hander Jose Berrios took a lot of the starch out of Tigers, allowing only a home run to his brother-in-law in seven innings as Toronto won for the third time in four games, 4-1 at Rogers Centre. Berrios’
TORONTO – The pose from Javier Báez on his follow-through lasted long enough for fans at Rogers Centre to take a picture, if they weren’t watching his first-inning drive soar toward the upper deck in left field. It was just foul, despite Báez optimistically pointing fair, but it was hit hard enough for Blue Jays
