Series Preview: Detroit Tigers head to Bronx to face New York Yankees this weekend

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

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...

How many MLB rotations could Matt Manning crack today?

Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK

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...

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.

Again it was Akil Baddoo leading the way. The center fielder led off the game with a single and scored on a...

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...

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...

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 Hens lineup provided plenty of offense in this one, but a bullpen game saw them a bit overstretched with Matt Manning called up to Detroit. Presumably Ty Madden, who would’ve been on pace to start this game as his first with the Hens, will make his Triple-A debut on Wednesday, keeping Manning’s spot in their rotation intact.
