The Tigers say Meadows is making progress in his recovery, but he won’t be ready in time for the opener.
Over the past week this had started to become pretty obvious, but the Detroit Tigers confirmed on Friday that center fielder Parker Meadows will start the regular season on the injured list. The nerve issue he’s dealt with in his right biceps has kept him out of action for three weeks already, and whether it resolves shortly or...
It seems to be a frustrating situation with little clarity.

Dream big, Tigers pals.
Last week, I asked everyone to make some general “bold predictions” for the entirety of MLB. A few of you decided to make Tigers predictions there, anyway, but no one can fault you. I think my favorite responses came from user Zman7801 who took the “bold” challenge seriously and had these two hot takes leading his very good list.
Mike Trout has his first healthy season in years and is in the...

The St. Louis Cardinals designated the left-hander for assignment on Thursday.
The Detroit Tigers made a trade on Thursday, acquiring left-handed pitcher Bailey Horn from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for cash considerations. The Cardinals had designated the 27-year-old pitcher earlier in the day after signed pitcher Phil Maton, their first free agent signing of the offseason.
This is Horn’s second time as a Tiger this offseason. The...

The two former first overall picks are once again grabbing the headlines in spring camp.
Well don’t look now but it’s 2022 all over again in the Detroit Tigers spring training camp. We were more innocent then. Still dreamers in fact. It’s been a rough go in the interim, but once again their two former first overall picks, Casey Mize and Spencer Torkelson, are making noise in spring camp. Let’s take a look and get back into expectation management...
The Tigers are facing a few injuries in their outfield mix.
Coming off a unanimous American League Cy Young Award win, Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal could sign the largest contract extension in franchise history.

As usual, Eric Longenhagen and his staff have some interesting notes on the the system.
We’re pretty big fans of FanGraphs here at Bless You Boys. Their yearly subscription is very inexpensive compared to many other sites, and their layout of player statistics, rosters and payroll construction, and prospect boards, are the easiest to use in my opinion. For years their prospect coverage has been quite good, if less timely the past few seasons....

The outfielder has been out for 10 days with lower back tightness.
The Detroit Tigers had a little good news for the fanbase on Tuesday. Outfielder Wenceel Pérez is set to return from a bout of lower back trouble on Tuesday as the Tigers take on the Tampa Bay Rays. With Parker Meadows and Matt Vierling sidelined with injuries, Pérez is probably their best option to help fill the gap in the interim.
Pérez hoped to return on Monday after taking a week off to...

The Tigers number two starter made his second start of the spring.
The Detroit Tigers moved their Grapefruit League record to .500 on Tuesday with a 3-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves. Jack Flaherty pitched well, and the young Tigers provided most of the offense.
This was just the second outing of the spring for Jack Flaherty. As with reliever Tommy Kahnle, the Tigers have been very conscious of the fact that they pitched to the end of the season and got nearly a...

We all know not to get too excited over spring results, but there’s always someone who intrigues in spring camp.
Seasoned baseball fans look forward to spring training with a strong mix of joy and skepticism. Rarely do spring training performances end up altering players projections for the coming season. This player is way up, this player is way down, and then once the season begins its all erased and players generally return to playing in...

Apart from the center field situation, things have gone very well for the Tigers to date.
The Detroit Tigers have now played 15 games in Grapefruit League play, compiling a 7-8 record. They have 15 games remaining before taking on the defending World Series champs in Los Angeles from March 27-29 to begin the 2025 regular season. So it’s a good time to take a look at how camp is going overall.
Our readership tends toward baseball lifers, and as a group is...
