The right-hander looks close to recapturing his 2021 form as he returns from elbow surgery.
Other than Miguel Cabrera himself, no player in the Detroit Tigers’ organization is longer tenured than the man known as Red Bull. Spencer Turnbull was drafted out of Alabama way back in 2014 with their second round selection. For four years he worked his way through the farm system dealing with minor injuries and bouts of wildness. The stuff was always...

There are still plenty of open questions with just seven days left on the Grapefruit League calendar.
There’s still a week left to go, but the Detroit Tigers’ spring camp has generally been a success. Of course, that’s a dubious distinction as these games don’t count. What really matters is that they’ve had precious few injuries so far. Knock on wood. That’s what counts as success at this point in the season.
As far as Grapefruit League play...

From the Player’s League to the National and American Leagues, and 50 years of stability.
With a new season ahead of us, it seemed like a good time to look back at the origins of the game as an organized sport. Typically we tell the story of the game in terms of specific players and teams, but the organizing structures, the clubs and leagues of pro baseball’s early years, formed a sort of scaffolding on which the professional game would be built...

Since neither of these two players were likely to make an immediate jump to the big leagues this season, the news isn’t going to have a huge impact the near-term fortunes of the club.

But wait! There’s more. Dillon Dingler had minor knee surgery as well.
Well it’s been quiet on the Detroit Tigers injury front this spring. Too quiet, as it turns out. On Thursday, the club announced that 2021 first round pick Jackson Jobe has been diagnosed with lumbar spine inflammation and will be shut down from three to six months before beginning a rehabilitation program. There’s a good chance based on that estimate, that the...

A strong spring from the veteran reliever has him leading the rest of the lefties vying for a bullpen role.
Reliever Chasen Shreve came the Detroit Tigers spring camp knowing there were bullpen openings for left-handers in particular. The departure of Gregory Soto in the offseason trade with the Philadelphia Phillies left a pretty big hole. In Soto’s wake, Tyler Alexander was the only southpaw reliever with a claim on the active roster. Shreve isn’t...

The smart money is all betting on Torkelson to improve. The fans want to see it before they believe it.
Despite a generally positive spring camp so far for the Detroit Tigers, a quiet offseason in terms of free agents and the pervasive fear surrounding Spencer Torkelson have harshed the vibe, as it were. Concern is justified, but the miserable pessimism has gotten a bit out of hand in some quarters. What’s the point of drafting elite prospects if people...
The Detroit Tigers entered 2022 with an optimism they have been lacking for several years. A flashy new high-priced shortstop, the arrival or top prospects Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson, and a young pitching staff with upside.
There’s a fair bit of uncertainty about how manager A.J. Hinch will divide reps behind the dish, as Detroit allowed last year’s primary backstop Tucker Barnhart to depart in free agency after a down season.

Don’t worry, the time is coming for Meadows the Younger.
As the final roster battles start to take shape in spring training, playing time is at a premium and the cuts in major league camp start coming fast and furious. On Tuesday, the Tigers sent four prospects down to minor league camp. The group is headed by outfielder Parker Meadows and includes infielder Andre Lipcius, and relievers Rony Garcia and Brendan White.
Manager A.J....

The Scott Harris led Tigers continue to search high and low for talent, and that process is a story in its own right.
One of the clearest manifestations of a whole new way of doing business for the Detroit Tigers under Scott Harris has been the lengthy list of waiver claims and minor league free agent signings over the past five months. The “roster churn” as it were, is a good sign that the club is leaving no stone unturned hunting...
The man known as "El Mago" (The Magician), showed off his bag of tricks once again. Known for his showmanship on the basepaths, Báez got silly with this swim move slide.
Last season was a disaster for the Detroit Tigers and former No. 1 overall pick Spencer Torkelson, but there's reason for optimism to be found in some underlying numbers.

Meanwhile, Javy Báez puts the swim move on display, and the Tigers bullpen competition is still pretty wide open.
With just over two weeks left until Opening Day, the Detroit Tigers roster battles are still just starting to take shape. While most of the everyday players are locked in, there are still plenty of question marks in the infield and for the fourth outfielder spot. Meanwhile the bullpen still feels largely up in the air with...
