Tigers right-hander Julio Teheran was scratched from his scheduled start against the Indians on Friday night after feeling tightness in his triceps during his pregame throwing progression. With Teheran out, left-hander Derek Holland got the start for the opener of a three-game series at Progressive Field. Holland had started the season in the bullpen.

Cleveland — The open date is sitting there, kind of ominously — April 19. The Tigers will have just completed a 10-game road trip through Cleveland, Houston and Oakland, with a stretch of 20 games in 21 days coming after the day off. And right-handed starter Spencer Turnbull could be close to returning to the rotation. Will that be
The Detroit Tigers are through their first homestand. It’s too soon to really know anything about this team, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make a few observations. My brother is a Detroit Tigers fan. He’s not a superfan, but he pays attention, and like everyone else he has been captivated by the Akil Baddoo…
It has been a while since I have done an opinion piece on the Detroit Tigers but what I saw earlier in the week sparked me in a certain way. When speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, Detroit Tigers reliever Gregory Soto was asked about his two clutch innings in relief against the Twins on…
Akil Baddoo’s debut would be a great story even if the Detroit Tigers were the defending champs and the other big four teams here had made recent deep playoff runs, too. Not many longshot prospects hit the first big-league pitch they ever see over the fence and follow that up with a grand slam and
One week ago, the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Baseball Team squared off on in an Opening Weekend series. The Tigers, despite their woes against Cleveland over the past few years, emerged victorious, eeking out two close games by a total margin of four runs, and losing one game by six runs (on the bright
We’re back with a look at a whole lot of fun action from the Tigers and around the league, from MLB’s opening week. We’ll start with Tigers talk. Miggy in the snow. The legend of Akil Baddoo. A pretty good first six outings for the rotation. Matthew Boyd off to a good start. Michael Fulmer
Gregory Soto delivered a filthy slider to Andrelton Simmons in a 3-2 count with two outs. The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins were tied up Tuesday in the top of the 10th inning. With runners on first and second base, Soto didn’t have room for error. They battled, but Soto’s seventh pitch — his 19th slider used that game — brought out his emotions. The unapologetic
The legend of Detroit Tigers rookie Akil Baddoo is two different stories, happening at the same time. The first has unfolded in public. Baddoo’s debut in the major leagues has been remarkable. He hit a home run in his first major league at-bat, a grand slam in his second game, had the game-winning hit in his third
It was another offseason of short-term veteran additions for the Detroit Tigers. Major League Signings Jonathan Schoop, 2B: One year, $4.5MM Julio Teheran, RHP: One year, $3MM Nomar Mazara, OF: One year, $1.75MM (plus incentives) Wilson Ramos, C: One year, $2MM Jose Ureña, RHP: One year, $3.25MM ($250k in available performance incentives) Robbie Grossman, OF:
Opening Day rosters featured 17 Top 100 Prospects, yet it’s some unheralded rookies who have made the biggest impact during the first week of the big league season. Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo, Reds second baseman Jonathan India, Dodgers utilityman Zach McKinstry and White Sox catcher Yermín Mercedes have generated plenty of highlights. There are several
One dead giveaway in appreciating the human psyche, in knowing if a person is dealing with bruises or with better days, is the voice. Spencer Torkelson sounded — mostly — Thursday as if he had hit .370 rather than .037 during March’s spring camp at Lakeland, Florida. It was his first spring training with the Tigers, his first
By TC Zencka | April 8, 2021 at 12:07pm CDT Some good news on the COVID front today… Tigers’ pitching coach Chris Fetter was cleared to rejoin the team, per the Athletic’s Cody Stavenhagen (via Twitter). Fetter tested positive for coronavirus at the end of March, and he’s been away from the team since. He
The debut episode of the Tigers season long series, HOME, features the excitement of Opening Day, including a memorable blast from Miguel Cabrera through snow flurries and an inspiring pitching performance from Matthew Boyd. Later, rookie outfielder Akil Baddoo steals the show with an unforgettable 3-day stretch that has fans in the Motor City singing
The Detroit Tigers Weekly Draft Report has reached the halfway point of the college baseball season. This week’s report is a bit late, as last weekend’s games were spread from Thursday to Monday because of holidays and poor weather.
DETROIT — The Tigers, looking to turn the corner from years of struggles, find signs of hope in one of the least likely places. A Rule 5 Draft pick not only cracks the Opening Day roster, but he takes off for a historic start that carries the Tigers with him. In the process, he becomes
