TORONTO -- Nick Maton hit the first home run of the redesigned Rogers Centre, which possibly could’ve been out of the previously designed, bigger outfield. Kerry Carpenter was robbed of a homer to center and hit another 400 feet out to the shadow of the center-field fence. But arguably the

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Prior to the Tigers’ game against the Phillies on Thursday night, the team issued medical updates on several of their Minor League players, including some unfortunate news about top prospect Jackson Jobe.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tigers right-hander Casey Mize, currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery he underwent last June, revealed Wednesday that he also underwent surgery to address a longstanding issue with his back.

CHICAGO -- The Tigers are all too familiar with injuries to their young pitchers. Unfortunately, that news got worse for Detroit on Friday. Though there was nothing alarming with Tarik Skubal’s imaging done last week on his left arm, there is now some concern with his injury. The 25-year-old was

MINNEAPOLIS -- The sight of the Twins sending the Tigers to another walk-off loss is becoming all too familiar. So is the sight of another Detroit pitcher leaving with an injury concern. In the case of staff ace and potential trade candidate Tarik Skubal, however, the sight of the lefty

DETROIT -- The stoic reaction from Spencer Torkelson gave no hint that he had just taken an 88 mph pitch off the left side of his head. That’s a credit to the protective helmet and added flap that he has been wearing all season. Still, the flushed look on the

DETROIT -- Tigers right-hander Casey Mize will undergo Tommy John surgery to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, manager A.J. Hinch announced Friday. Mize is expected to have the surgery next week. The rehab process will sideline the former No. 1 overall pick for the rest of

Casey Mize will pause his rehab assignment, the Tigers announced. They’re not calling it a setback, but Mize's rough start for Triple-A Toledo on Thursday gave them reason to believe he’s not ready to return to action. “Casey’s going back to Lakeland. We’re going to slow him down a little

KANSAS CITY -- The Tigers placed shortstop Javier Báez on the 10-day injured list Saturday afternoon with right thumb soreness, adding to Detroit’s growing injury woes just over a week into the season.

KANSAS CITY -- Pulling Matt Manning from Saturday’s start against the Royals was one of the last things Tigers manager A.J. Hinch wanted to do. But one of the few things worse on the list would’ve been adding Manning to the Tigers’ burgeoning injured list, which claimed fellow starter Casey

KANSAS CITY -- The Tigers have overcome injuries up and down their roster already this season, in large part because their core has stayed intact. When Casey Mize woke up Friday morning feeling extra soreness after his start against the Royals on Thursday night, they had a bigger concern. The

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Riley Greene sped around the Tigers complex on his scooter Tuesday morning with the same instinctive aggressiveness that he scooted around the basepaths with for most of Spring Training before his fractured right foot ended his hopes of making the Opening Day roster. “I need to get

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Riley Greene’s quest to be in center field on Opening Day at Comerica Park hit a tough-luck ending. The Tigers’ No. 2 prospect suffered a fractured right foot Friday when he fouled off a pitch from the Yankees' Gerrit Cole. The fracture is not expected to require

DETROIT -- Just as Matthew Boyd had gotten back into the heart of the Tigers' rotation for the stretch run, he could be out for the rest of this season, if not longer. The left-hander was scratched from his scheduled start Friday night against the Rays with recurring elbow soreness.

DETROIT -- Two months after Spencer Turnbull threw a no-hitter, his 2021 season is over, and his 2022 campaign is in serious jeopardy. The up-and-coming Tigers starter will undergo Tommy John surgery after tests revealed chronic damage in his right elbow. The news is a gut punch for a Tigers

The finger injury that forced Niko Goodrum out of Friday’s Tigers loss will keep him out a little while. It doesn’t appear to be major, but the absence will be long enough for the Tigers to get another look at Isaac Paredes as a shortstop. The Tigers placed Goodrum on

KANSAS CITY -- The Tigers’ pitching injury woes worsened Monday, when starter Matthew Boyd left Detroit's eventual 10-3 win over the Royals in the third inning with what the team called left arm discomfort. Boyd spent Monday evening undergoing further evaluation. It’s the second early exit for Boyd this season,
