Top Tigers News

  • Tigers' Tanner Rainey: Tosses two more scoreless innings

    Rainey tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Rays. He walked two and struck out two.

    Since having his contract selected from Triple-A Toledo earlier this month, Rainey has pitched well for the Tigers. He's now strung together 6.2 scoreless innings across five appearances and has struck out six batters. Rainey doesn't have a ton of fantasy value at the moment in his middle-relief role, but he could be auditioning for higher-leverage work in 2027 if he continues to perform well down the stretch.

  • Tigers' Framber Valdez: Manages quality start in ninth loss

    Valdez (8-9) took the loss against the Rays on Monday, allowing four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks in six innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

    A fielding error by Brett Callahan kept an earned run off Valdez's ledger, so Monday's outing ultimately goes down as a quality start. The southpaw still didn't have his best stuff on the mound, turning in just the second start of his career (192 starts) where he didn't register a punchout. Valdez is set to wrap up a two-start week this weekend against a vaunted Dodgers lineup, carrying a shaky 4.35 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 111:56 K:BB over 144.2 innings for the year.

  • Tigers' Ricky Vanasco: DFA'd by Tigers

    The Tigers designated Vanasco for assignment Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of new signee Tyler Kinley. Vanasco has made five appearances for Detroit this season, getting tagged for 12 runs (11 earned) with a 4:6 K:BB over 6.1 innings.

  • Tigers' Ty Madden: Optioned to minors

    The Tigers optioned Madden to Triple-A Toledo on Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Madden boasts a 3.46 ERA and 40:13 K:BB over 39 innings, but he had been scored upon in five consecutive outings. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Tyler Kinley, who was signed by the Tigers on Monday.

  • Tigers' Tyler Kinley: Latches on with Tigers

    The Tigers signed Kinley to a one-year contract, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Kinley was released by Atlanta last week after posting a 6.00 ERA and 7:7 K:BB over his first nine innings of the second half. The right-hander has been decent overall this season, collecting a 4.01 ERA and 42:20 K:BB over 42.2 innings. Kinley should operate in middle relief for Detroit.

  • Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Retreating to bench Monday

    Torres is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Detroit will give Torres a breather after he had started every game dating back to July 28 and slashed .247/.330/.412 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 16 runs over a stretch of 23 contests. Hao-Yu Lee will take Torres' spot in the infield, covering second base while slotting in as the Tigers' No. 2 hitter.

  • Tigers' Hao-Yu Lee: Settling into regular role

    Lee will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against the Rays.

    Lee will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after he went 5-for-13 with a home run, a double, two walks, five runs and two RBI over his last four games to bring his slash line up to .281/.321/.439 for the season. The hot-hitting rookie appears to have played his way into a near-everyday role for the time being, but he could find himself as the odd man out of the lineup as soon as the Tigers are able to get both Kerry Carpenter (foot) and Riley Greene (hamstring) back from the injured list.

  • Tigers' Riley Greene: Shifts rehab from Florida to Detroit

    Greene (hamstring) returned to Detroit on Monday and will take part in conditioning work at Comerica Park prior to the Tigers' series opener versus the Rays, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Shortly after landing on the injured list Aug. 12 due to a left hamstring strain, Greene headed to the Tigers' spring training facility in Florida to complete a running, hitting and defensive progression, per MLB.com. Though he's now back in Detroit, Greene's activation doesn't yet appear to be imminent. He's expected to continue taking part in baseball activities during the Tigers' homestand and will likely need to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment before making his return from the IL.

  • Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Completes bullpen session Sunday

    Flaherty (forearm) threw a bullpen session Sunday in Kansas City, MLB.com reports.

    The Tigers reportedly came away encouraged by how Flaherty looked during his first time getting back on a mound since he landed on the injured list July 21 due to right forearm flexor inflammation. Flaherty is expected to throw another side session within the next few days before he potentially moves on to facing hitters in live batting practice.

  • Tigers' Ty Madden: Struggles continue Sunday

    Madden allowed three runs on three hits and a walk across 1.2 innings of relief in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals. He struck out three.

    Madden did a good job of missing bats Sunday but otherwise had a rough outing, which continued a poor recent stretch of games. The righty has been scored on in five straight appearances, and he has a 9.00 ERA during the stretch. Overall, Madden has been better with a 3.46 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 40 strikeouts across 39 innings this season. He remains a trusted middle reliever with limited fantasy upside.

  • Tigers' Max Clark: Records first MLB steal

    Clark went 1-for-3 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals. He also stole a base.

    Clark recorded his first hit of the weekend series against Kansas City and then proceeded to steal his first base at the MLB level as well. The 21-year-old outfielder had 21 stolen bases in 90 games for Triple-A Toledo before getting called up to the majors, so speed is definitely a key part of his game. Clark may endure some ups and downs as he settles in at the highest level, but the talent is evident, and he could be primed for a big season in 2027.

  • Tigers' Kevin McGonigle: Lifts off Sunday

    McGonigle went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Sunday's 11-7 loss to the Royals.

    McGonigle did all he could to keep the Tigers in the game, including hitting his 14th home run of the season in the fifth inning. The young infielder has four of those long balls in 20 games this month, and he's also recorded 12 stolen bases in 13 attempts this year, making him a well-rounded fantasy asset. McGonigle continues to bolster his case for the AL Rookie of the Year award with his strong performance.

  • Tigers' Andrew Sears: Hit hard in MLB debut

    Sears (0-1) took the loss against the Royals on Sunday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in four innings. He struck out three.

    Sears, who worked in bulk relief for his major-league debut, didn't leave an encouraging first impression Sunday. The left-hander was the third pitcher to enter the game for the Tigers and threw just 45 of his 74 pitches for strikes, surrendering three extra-base hits on the afternoon and four of his five runs in the fifth inning. Manager A.J. Hinch said Sunday that Sears will get an extended look for the rest of the season, per Jackson Stone of MLB.com, but whether he'll serve as a starter or long reliever will be contingent upon Detroit's bullpen usage.
