DETROIT — Amid the fan following for Shohei Ohtani at Comerica Park on Tuesday night, there was a fan with a sign behind the visiting dugout: “Welcome back, José Iglesias.” Iglesias noticed the sign and waved as he walked toward the dugout following his infield work.

He spent parts of eight seasons with the Detroit Tigers, pitching in 241 games and throwing more than 320 innings. That’s something not many…
The Detroit Tigers needed another catcher, so they acquired old friend Dustin Garneau. Without starting catcher Eric Haase for the next couple of days, the Tigers were left with backup Grayson Greiner as their lone catcher. Infielder Zack Short and utility player Harold Castro lobbied for emergency catcher gigs, but manager AJ Hinch didn’t want to take that route. “That’s

In January 1914, the Detroit Tigers signed a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher named Tillar H. Cavet, whose nickname was “Pug.” E.A.

Jack Morris is in trouble, and rightly so. We had gotten beyond — supposedly — using ethnic mockery as part of our professional motif, whether it’s in a baseball broadcast booth or any other corridor of American life. But he stepped in it pretty deeply Tuesday night when, during the Los Angeles Angels-Detroit Tigers broadcast, he lapsed
Identifying the hottest rookie of the past two weeks was easy this time around.
