Chicago — Nothing against his teammates in Toledo, but Derek Hill would just as soon not see them for a while. “The boys down there are doing unbelievable,” he said. “It’s a fun team to be on. But I can’t wait to be on this one.” For the second time this season, the Tigers have
Last week, we covered the prospect hitters off to the best starts across the Minor Leagues. Next up: the pitchers. No more guessing at how a mid-90s fastball will play at a certain level or if a plus slider will miss enough bats to be effective. We have one month of Minor League data to
We are a few days into MLB Draft Month here at Motor City Bengals, and we continue our profiles of potential Detroit Tigers draft picks with Marcelo Mayer, a shortstop/outfielder from Eastlake High School in Chula Vista, California. Be sure to check out our Mock Draft, and keep an eye out for more draft player…
The Detroit Tigers announced on Thursday that outfielder Victor Reyes has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 2nd, with a left intercostal strain. In his spot, the Tigers have called up center fielder extraordinaire, Derek Hill. Reyes only returned from his demotion at the beginning of May. He appeared to pull
The numbers were too good for the Detroit Tigers not to put outfielder Derek Hill next in line for a call to the major leagues. When the Tigers placed outfielder Victor Reyes on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left intercostal strain, Hill was recalled from Triple-A Toledo. He has a .355 batting average
So far this year, Detroit Tigers’ minor leaguer Beau Brieske’s name has popped up with a few stellar performances. It’s not a name that most people may know considering the Detroit Tigers selected him in the 27th round out of Colorado State University Pueblo in the 2019 draft. Pitchers taken that late have to work
The Detroit Tigers notched a winning record in the month of May, which has been a difficult achievement during the rebuild. While this team is still far from good, the starting rotation does offer a chance to steal some games; when Casey Mize is on the mound, the odds are looking even better. Mize had

The Detroit Tigers’ Paws is the second most popular mascot in all of Major League Baseball, according to a new survey. Who’s first? That would be Clark the Cub of the Chicago Cubs. And here’s the rest of the top five: Dinger of the Colorado Rockies is third most popular, T.C. of the Minnesota Twins ranks
At the risk of jumping the gun on talk of buying or selling, it’s worth considering where the Detroit Tigers are at as a team. They started off the season about as poorly as possible, struggling to an 8-19 start that was hampered by horrendous hitting. After some roster shuffling and miracle work by pitching…
Toledo Mud Hens 7, Memphis Redbirds 0 (box) Logan Shore and a bullpen bolstered by Tigers’ demotions rode a pair of Aderlin Rodriguez home runs to make their record 12-12 on the young season. Shore went 6 1⁄3 scoreless innings, scattering six hits against four strikeouts. Bryan Garcia and Buck Farmer took over, each collecting
Detroit Tigers pitching prospect Joey Wentz is back on the mound. The 23-year-old left-hander underwent Tommy John surgery — to reconstruct the torn ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing elbow — on March 17, 2020. He found joy in the milestones along the way: Working out in a gym, throwing a ball, long tossing and
Toledo, Ohio – The Toledo Mud Hens recorded their second consecutive shutout and third straight win tonight in a 7-0 victory over the Memphis Redbirds. RHP Logan Shore pitched a gem of game for the Hens, going 6.1 innings before the bullpen carried the team of the rest of the way. Aderlin Rodriguez paved the
MIDLAND, MI – The West Michigan Whitecaps made a pair of errors that led to big innings and the end of their long winning streak in a 5-4 loss to the Great Lakes Loons Wednesday night at Dow Diamond. The loss caps the Whitecaps winning streak at eight games – placing their run of success
Normally at this time of year, with college conference tournaments just completed and high school seasons nearly over, we’d be in full-on Draft fever/panic mode, trying to get one of our last mocks correct right before the Draft started. So it’s been hard to tell that muscle memory to take a break and slow the
Chicago — Tigers manager AJ Hinch didn’t like the term “struggling” as it was applied in a question about Matthew Boyd Tuesday night. “I don’t think that’s fair,” Hinch said after Boyd allowed five runs and three home runs in the Tigers’ 10-7 win over the Brewers in Milwaukee. “I think (his last four starts) have not
Another new Rookie Power Rankings, another Marlin at the top of the list. Miami left-hander Trevor Rogers climbed two places to take over the No. 1 spot in this latest edition of the RPR, replacing infielder and teammate Jazz Chisholm Jr. at the top. The most notable jumper might be one spot lower, however, in
Relive the 8th no-hitter in Tigers’ history through the eyes of the man himself Spencer Turnbull on Friday. Tune in at 7 p.m. for the premiere of Inside the Tigers: Unhittable.
DETROIT — Somewhere along the path to another top pick in next year’s MLB Draft and a potential run at an American League-record 119-loss season, the Tigers quietly started playing better baseball. New manager A.J. Hinch’s messages about competing, putting balls in play on offense and making plays on defense began to take hold. And
