Pittsburgh — For a couple of days there, it seemed possible that we might not see Austin Meadows again this season. The medical information being passed down was vague at best and, frankly, ominous. “I don’t know when he will be back,” manager AJ Hinch said at one point. So it came as a bit of a

Detroit Tigers outfielder Austin Meadows, sidelined since May 16 with vertigo symptoms, has returned from the injured list and will play against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. But the Tigers are dealing with another injury. Third baseman Jeimer Candelario has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, with a left shoulder
Well we have good news and bad news for you. The good news, is that outfielder Austin Meadows has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list after a rehab stint with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens last week. The bad news, is that, as expected, third baseman Jeimer Candelario’s shoulder injury will require some time
It seems pretty clear at this point that the Detroit Tigers have figured out the pitching side of player development. The depth in the upper levels of the system has been on display as guys like Alex Faedo, Beau Brieske, Elvin Rodriguez, and Rony Garcia have all enjoyed some success in a starting role. Joey

The obvious thing happened, as the Detroit Tigers strutted into New York as winners of seven of their past nine games, only to be violently quieted by the MLB-leading Yankees. The home team took no-hitters deep into the first two contests before walking off Sunday for the sweep, sending the Tigers down to 10 games
NEW YORK — Tucker Barnhart believes rookie pitcher Elvin Rodriguez has a bright future ahead of him, the type of future that will put him on the mound at Yankee Stadium for a second time. Each trip to Yankee Stadium, though, will come with a memory of his first time. The New York Yankees throttled Rodriguez for

TIGER TALK: Detroit Tigers Newsletter: Bucs, bucks and Javier Báez’s big swings Game notes: After
It’s been a brutal year for the Detroit Tigers. The pitching staff has suffered misfortunes on a scale seldom seen outside of Springfield, and they are arguably the worst offensive team of the last 50 years.
A 6-2 homestand was keyed by a Miguel Cabrera walk-off single, but he wasn’t the only Tiger who found himself coming through for his teammates. Tucker Barnhart has made a difference on a pitching staff eager to learn, while Alex Faedo is all too happy to soak up the wisdom of his veteran teammates. Meanwhile,

Detroit — AJ Hinch has been through this before. Maybe not with a player quite as mercurial as Javier Báez, but he’s had to massage the bruised psyches of struggling superstar players before. Carlos Correa and George Springer both went through miserable stretches during Hinch’s time in Houston. Back in 2018, Correa hit .181 the

We knew inflation was bad, but $140 million just doesn’t buy what it used to in MLB. Oh, the Detroit Tigers’ troubles at the plate aren’t entirely Javier Báez’s fault. He’s clearly trying to hit, or at least clearly swinging at everything, via the Wayne Gretzky school of thought: “You miss 100% of the sliders
