Two weeks into spring camp, the Detroit Tigers have managed to avoid any major injuries, but a pair of minor ones threaten to put them in a difficult spot to begin the season. Center fielder Parker Meadows continues to try and get his bicep issue resolved. Meanwhile, utilityman, and key part of the Tigers plan

I can’t be the only person, who while watching broadcasts, will mentally (and sometimes audibly) announce “former Tiger!” when an old friend pops up in an opposing team’s lineup. The thing about following baseball for years and years, 162 games a season, for much of your adult life, is that you get to know the

The Detroit Tigers’ spring training schedule kicked into high gear on Thursday afternoon with the team halving up for its first two-game split-squad date of the preseason. AJ Hinch’s crew managed to come away with both a tie and a loss, bringing their spring record to a 2-3-1 early on. One squad headed to Charlotte

The month of July will mark right-handed reliever Tanner Kohlhepp’s fourth year as a professional. Most fans of the Detroit Tigers don’t know his name, yet he’s one of those pitchers with such outlier stuff that if he finally overcomes the injuries and inconsistency to just a modest degree, he could be a household name

The major league pitchers were good for the Tigers in this one, but a couple of relievers in the system faltered as the Twins cruised to a 4-0 victory. The bats were not hot for the home team. They managed just a pair of singles, while Thayron Liranzo walked three times. There wasn’t too much

While the Detroit Tigers have become known as one of the top development teams for pitching over the last few years, no one has a perfect track record. Perhaps the most disappointing development in the system over the past two years has been the fall of right-hander Wilmer Flores. The Tigers signed Flores, younger brother

After taking an early lead, the Detroit Tigers bullpen struggled late to lose this one to the Baltimore Orioles. The Tigers fall to 2-1 in Grapefruit League action. Unacceptable. Ok, we’ve had our fun. The games don’t matter, but the players do. Jackson Jobe looked fine, topping out at 99 mph repeatedly, and showed off

The Detroit Tigers head out on the road today to meet the Baltimore Orioles for a 1:05 p.m. ET start time. Unfortunately there will be neither television nor radio broadcast. That’s pretty frustrating, as the Tigers rookie wunderkind, Jackson Jobe, will toe the bump in his first Grapefruit League start of the season. We would

The Detroit Tigers have another talented right-handed relief prospect lined up to help this season in the form of Tyler Mattison. The 25-year-old was slated as part of their plans last spring, but UCL reconstruction in March of 2024 short-circuited those plans. Now rehabbing in spring camp, Mattison has the potential to be a key

We’ll kick off the 40 future value tier with a relief prospect. You could put Tyler Owens anywhere in this tier, but the Tigers clearly like him and with minor improvements he’ll be very likely to get a shot at the major league bullpen this summer. So we’ll lead off the group with him for

Besides Tarik Skubal’s incredible season culminating in his first AL Cy Young award, no Detroit Tigers storyline received more coverage than “pitching chaos”. Despite losing Reese Olson and Casey Mize to injuries, and Jack Flaherty to the Dodgers at the trade deadline, Tigers’ pitching overwhelmed opponents during their march to the playoffs. Much of that
