The Detroit Tigers may be running out of patience with struggling Spencer Torkelson. Tigers manager AJ Hinch offered a fairly brutal comment on Torkelson’s struggles on Saturday.

A three-run dinger sealed the Tigers’ fate early, and the home plate umpire certainly wasn’t on his game either.
After Friday night’s offense-less debacle of a walk-off loss, Saturday afternoon brought some early fireworks, some horrific and impactful ball-and-strike calls, and a 5-3 Tiger defeat.

The New York Yankees spent Friday night against the Detroit Tigers struggling at the plate, much as they did during four games in Baltimore. In a four-batter span in the ninth inning, however, the Yankees did enough to eke out a 2-1 victory, and they can secure another series win Saturday afternoon in the rematch with the visiting Tigers.

Reese Olson and bullpen pitched well, but they wasted multiple chances with the bases loaded earlier in the game and it cost them.
That was a frustrating loss, but one you could feel brewing as the Tigers went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position, failing to score with the bases loaded twice. Jason Foley continued to struggle, and the Yankees walked this one off in the bottom of the ninth.
Reese Olson was really good once again, and has inherited the...
Following a series loss where infielder Gleyber Torres said the Yankees were “punched in the mouth” in Baltimore, they’d come back into town to face the Tigers.
There’s only so much a player can prove in a six-game sample, but Flaherty hasn’t missed bats at anything close to this level in five years.

Fresh off their fourth straight series win, the Motor City Kitties are off to see the neon lights on Broadway.
Things keep rolling along for the Detroit Tigers, who have now earned series wins in their last four matchups dating back to a three-gamer at the Minnesota Twins in mid-April. Since then, the Olde English D has prevailed over the Tampa Bay Rays (away), Kansas City Royals (home) and the St. Louis Cardinals (home). Who said the schedule was getting...

Once a top-ten pick and prospect, Manning has only seen double-header action for Detroit thus far in 2024.
Battles for the fifth and final spot in the Detroit Tigers starting rotation are an annual staple of spring training down at Joker Marchant Stadium. This year’s competition, however, sticks out from years past, both for the depth of talent and the fact that it essentially ended in a stalemate.
While it became clear early on that the Tigers would slot in...

Toledo Mud Hens 7, Columbus Clippers 3 (box)After losing the first two games of the series, the Mud Hens came back strong in this one. They pounded out 12 hits and drew six walks, building a big lead early and watching a good night from the bullpen lock down the victory.

Recent mock drafts have favored outfielder Vance Honeycutt and pitcher Trey Yesavage for the Tigers’ first round pick.
The month of May marks roughly the halfway point in the 2024 draft cycle, which has about two and a half months left. The Detroit Tigers were awarded the eleventh pick in this year’s MLB Draft lottery, which is a pretty good place to be picking in the upcoming class.
There’s a massive amount of college talent projected to be picked in...
Tarik Skubal revealed to the "Foul Territory" podcast on Thursday that he told catcher Carson Kelly to intentionally let a foul ball drop during teammate Jack Flaherty's recent gem.
Scores, news, and notes from around the Detroit Tigers farm system for Wednesday, May 1, 2024.
Columbus Clippers 14, Toledo Mud Hens 8 (box)A rough Triple-A debut was too much for a pair of Akil Baddoo homers and a good day for the offense overall to overcome.
The Hens came right out and provided their young starting pitcher a nice lead to work with. Akil Baddoo crushed the second pitch of the game to straightaway center for his third round tripper of the season. But the Hens were just...
Anything nearing .500 baseball is a welcome sight for fans of the Detroit Tigers.
This seems to be one of those classic cases of a prospect who no one thought much of developing into a better player than a much-publicized high draft pick.

The Tigers made off with the series thanks to Matt Vierling and Kenta Maeda.
After splitting the double header on Tuesday, the Tigers were looking to walk away with a series win against the St. Louis Cardinals on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Kenta Maed, who has struggled mightily in the first month of the season, was looking to start a redemption arc in May, going up against Miles Mikolas for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals went...
