I'm a lifelong Tigers fan living in West Michigan, and a staunch supporter of bat-flips.

Nicholas Castellanos Goes Hitless Against Former Teammate

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos came up empty against former Tiger Justin Verlander. The hard-hitting outfielder has been Detroit's best hitter all season, batting .305 with 15 homers, but he was hitless in four at-bats and fanned three times against JV. Castellanos was somehow left off the All Star team, so he'll get a […]


Niko Goodrum Homers In Final Game Of First Half

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum closed out his excellent first half on Sunday with a homer, his ninth of the season. The blast was a solo shot off Justin Verlander, and came in the sixth inning. The rookie now has 31 extra-base hits on the year and has turned himself into an everyday player. […]


Jeimer Candelario Homers Sunday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario socked his 13th homer of the season in Sunday's contest against the Astros and former Tiger Justin Verlander. Candelario has been abysmal for about a month now, batting .149 over the last 30 games, but he's been on base in each of the last three games, which is at […]


Nicholas Castellanos Knocks Two Hits Saturday

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos continued his productive 2018 campaign by notching two hits and scoring a run Saturday against the Astros. There wasn't much else happening on the offensive side for the Tigers, who have lost 20 of their last 24 games. Despite the team's struggles, Castellanos is slashing .346/.452/.577 over the last […]


Michael Fulmer Gets Torched By Houston

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer struggled through 4 2/3 innings on Saturday against the Astros, allowing seven runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out two. After the game, Fulmer and catcher James McCann were critical of the small strike zone, arguing that many pitches in the zone and on the edges […]


Jeimer Candelario Demoted To Eighth Spot

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario made his first appearance batting in the bottom third of the order on Friday, as he moved all the way down to the No. 8 position on the lineup card. The youngster impressed early with his plate discipline and ability to get on base, but has struggled mightily in […]


Shane Greene Fires Scoreless Inning In Return

Detroit Tigers closer Shane Greene (shoulder) returned from the disabled list on Friday and worked a scoreless inning with two hits and a strikeout, though it was not a save situation. Manager Ron Gardenhire clearly wanted to get Greene some work as quickly as possible with his return to the team, but the Tiger offense couldn't […]


Niko Goodrum Contributes Two Hits, Three RBI

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum did his part as the Tigers rallied back multiple times against the Rays before eventually falling in extras. The rookie middle-infielder had two doubles and three RBI on the night, raising his season average to .253 and his RBI total to 30. Goodrum has been a nice surprise after […]


Nicholas Castellanos Logs Three Hits Monday

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos delivered three hits in a losing effort Monday as the Tigers fell to the Rays. Castellanos also scored three runs in the contest. Castellanos has been looked sharp all season, and especially over the past two weeks, in which he has hit .339 with six homers. Many would say […]


Francisco Liriano Clobbered By Tampa

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano took a beating at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, allowing seven runs in just 2 1/3 innings of work. The crafty veteran had exceeded everyone's expectations in the early parts of this season, but he's been on the decline for a while. Over his last […]


Michael Fulmer Fires Seven Solid Innings

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer did his best to keep the Tigers in the game Sunday, but the offense couldn't muster up any runs as Detroit fell to the Rangers. Fulmer hurled seven innings of three-run ball (two earned), striking out six and scattering five hits. Fulmer hasn't been the pitcher fantasy owners expected […]


Leonys Martin Out Until After All-Star Break

Detroit Tigers outfielder and leadoff hitter Leonys Martin (hamstring) will not return to the lineup before the All Star break, manager Ron Gardenhire told reporters on Saturday. The veteran outfielder has been on the shelf since July 2, and could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo July 16-19, which would put him in line […]


Victor Martinez Not In Sunday Lineup

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will get the day off on Sunday against Texas. Filling in as the designated hitter will be Nicholas Castellanos, who will hit second. With Castellanos moving to the DH slot, that means Victor Reyes will bat ninth and man right field. Reyes has limited fantasy value and can be […]


Mike Fiers Posts Another Solid Outing

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Mike Fiers was going to have a tough time following the eight-inning gem he tossed in his last trip out, but he didn't disappoint on Saturday against the Rangers. The veteran righty fired six innings of one-run ball against Texas, striking out six and scattering five hits. Fiers has been hot […]


Niko Goodrum Reaches Base Five Times

Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum had a solid day at the dish Saturday, logging four hits and a walk in a victory over the Rangers. Goodrum is hitting .251 on the year with eight homers and seven steals, and has a bit of value in deep AL-only leagues due to the fact that he […]


Nicholas Castellanos Socks 15th Homer

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos knocked his 15th homer of the year on Saturday, a solo shot in the first inning off Cole Hamels. The blast gave Castellanos 55 RBI on the year, and was part of a seven-run first inning off the Texas starter. Castellanos has been hitting for average all year, but […]


Shane Greene Has No Structural Damage In Shoulder

Detroit Tigers reliever Shane Greene (shoulder) has no structural damage to his throwing shoulder, the team told reporters on Friday. Greene's shoulder issues apparently stem from bursitis, which is a common type of inflammation for pitchers who throw as much as Greene does. He's listed on the 10-day disabled list, and Joe Jimenez has been […]


James McCann And JaCoby Jones Each Homer Friday

The Detroit Tigers got a pair of homers on Friday, accounting for all of their offensive output against Bartolo Colon and the Texas Rangers. James McCann started things off with a two-run blast in the second inning for his fifth long ball of the year. Then, on the tail end of Jordan Zimmermann's one-run gem, […]


Jordan Zimmermann Strikes Out 11 In Victory

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann spun a gem on Friday, firing eight innings of one-run ball and striking out 11 to lead the Tigers to a win over the Texas Rangers. He issued no walks in the contest and scattered just four hits. Zimmermann's stock is on the rise as we head into the […]


Jordan Zimmermann Looks To Keep Rolling

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann will take the hill Friday against the Rangers, and will look to build on his strong outing in his last start. Sunday against the Blue Jays, Zim allowed just one run in seven innings of work to help snap an 11-game skid. Current Rangers batters have just 21 career […]


Matthew Boyd Thumped By Rangers

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd continued to struggle on Thursday as he was touched up by the Rangers to the tune of seven runs (six earned) in just four innings of work. Boyd scattered seven hits and allowed two homers in the matchup before turning things over to the bullpen. With the loss, Boyd […]


James McCann Sitting Thursday

Detroit Tigers catcher James McCann is out of the lineup on Thursday and John Hicks will take over behind the plate. McCann has just two hits in his last 22 at-bats, so a breather might not be a bad thing. Hicks, who has been a regular at first base since Miguel Cabrera's injury, clubbed his […]


Jeimer Candelario Not In Thursday's Lineup

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Texas Rangers. The youngster has hit just .185 over the last week, so it looks like he's just getting a breather. He'll be replaced in the lineup by Ronny Rodriguez, who has spent most of the season at Triple-A […]


Victor Martinez Back In Lineup Thursday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez is back in the lineup on Thursday after getting the last two days off while the Tigers played the Cubs in Chicago. With the designated hitter position once again available, V-Mart will slot right back into his regular spot in the order, batting fifth against Yovani Gallardo. Martinez has […]


Nicholas Castellanos Looking To Keep Rolling Against Texas

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos clubbed his 14th homer of the season on Wednesday, giving him his fourth home run in the last seven games. But the hard-hitting right fielder hasn't just hit for power lately; he's also posted a .321 average in that time frame. He'll look to keep it going Thursday against Yovani […]


Victor Martinez Sitting Out Tuesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will not start on Tuesday as the Tigers are in Chicago taking on the Cubs. With the lack of a designated hitter in National League ballparks, it doesn't seem likely that we'll see Martinez in anything other than a pinch-hitting role over the next two days. He should be […]


Jeimer Candelario Logs Three Hits Monday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario continued to break out of his slump on Monday, logging three hits against the Blue Jays. The youngster hit just .172 in June but owns a .242/.344/.458 line on the year with 12 homers, so it makes sense that he would break out of the spiral eventually. He now […]


Joe Jimenez Blows First Save As New Closer

Detroit Tigers reliever Joe Jimenez was named the team's closer on Monday following Shane Greene's move to the disabled list with a strained shoulder. He got his first opportunity to close things out in his new role Monday against the Blue Jays, but blew the save by allowing the tying run in the ninth inning […]


Joe Jimenez Named Tigers Closer

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Joe Jimenez will assume the closing role, club sources reported on Monday. The Tigers placed closer Shane Greene on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right shoulder, opening the door for Jimenez, who had been the team's setup man all season. Jimenez has been excellent thus far out of the […]


Matthew Boyd Looking To Halt Tigers' Skid

The Detroit Tigers have watched their losing streak reach 10 games after falling to Toronto on Friday. Starting pitcher Matthew Boyd will look to right the ship as he takes the hill Saturday. Boyd has had two straight rough outings against Cincinnati and Cleveland, and has seen his ERA climb almost a full run since […]
