Leonys Martin Heads To Disabled List

Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin (hamstring) was placed on the disabled list following the Tigers' victory over the Rangers Tuesday. The veteran outfielder had been off to a nice start to the season and was hitting particularly well through the first part of May, batting .367 with a homer and three RBI over the past […]

Leonys Martin Continues Hot May Start

Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin launched a home run in Monday's loss to the Rangers, continuing his full-on assault of opposing pitchers in the month of May. Since the calendar turned, the veteran outfielder has hit .367 with four doubles, good enough for a 1.024 OPS. With Monday's dinger, he now has five on the […]

Nicholas Castellanos Continues To Mash Lefties

Apparently Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos was able to get rid of the flu bug he caught over the weekend. Castellanos missed Saturday's game and did not start Sunday, but was back in the lineup on Monday against left-hander Matt Moore. Castellanos has absolutely crushed left-handed pitching this season, and Monday's game was no exception. […]

Alex Wilson Heading To 10-Day Disabled List

Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Wilson (foot) will spend some time on the shelf, club sources announced Monday night. Wilson suffered a left plantar fascia strain while covering first base on a Ronald Guzman infield single during the sixth inning of Monday's loss to the Royals. Wilson doesn't hold a lot of value in most traditional […]

Jordan Zimmermann Placed On Disabled List

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann was moved to the 10-day disabled list on Monday night with what the team is calling a shoulder impingement. It's discouraging news for the veteran, who has been hampered by injuries during his entire tenure in a Detroit uniform, especially since he had looked sharp his last two times […]

Nicholas Castellanos Is A Strong Play Monday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Nicholas Castellanos was out of the starting lineup on Sunday with illness, but did pinch hit in the ninth inning. There's no reason to believe he won't be in the lineup Monday, and if he is, it's good news for fantasy owners. Castellanos and the Tigers will face lefty Matt Moore, who […]

John Hicks Is Detroit's Hottest Hitter

With veteran slugger Miguel Cabrera on the 10-day disabled list, the Detroit Tigers have turned to John Hicks to provide some pop in the batting order. And since the start of May, he has delivered. In 20 May at bats, Hicks is slashing .450/.500/.700. His Sunday performance didn't hurt, as he homered and drove in […]

Leonys Martin Turns In His Fourth Multi-Hit Game Of May

Leonys Martin has been a spark plug at the top of the Detroit Tigers lineup since the calendar turned to May, and on Sunday he turned in his fourth multi-hit performance of the month. Martin had two hits against the Royals, one of which was a double off starting pitcher Jakob Junis in the seventh […]

Francisco Liriano's Gem Spoiled By Bullpen

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano has exceeded expectations thus far, and his start on Friday was no exception. The veteran lefty fired seven innings of one-run ball, scattering three hits, striking out five, and walking two against the Royals. Unfortunately, he did not end up with a win in this outing, as relievers Daniel […]

Miguel Cabrera Lands On Disabled List

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (hamstring) is headed for the 10-day disabled list, club sources announced Friday. The veteran slugger had missed a few games earlier in the season with back tightness, and then missed three consecutive games with biceps spasms earlier this week. In his return from the lineup from the biceps issue, […]

Nicholas Castellanos Knocks Three Hits In Loss

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had three hits, one of which was a homer, as the Tigers fell to the Royals on Thursday. The young slugger launched a solo shot off Eric Skoglund, his third dinger of the year. He added another RBI later for good measure, bringing his season total to 20. He's […]

Victor Martinez Out Of Lineup Thursday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez (ankle) is out of the lineup on Thursday, as manager Ron Gardenhire told sources he's dealing with some swelling in his ankle. Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will fill in at DH and John Hicks will man first base.

Miguel Cabrera Back In The Lineup Thursday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will return to action and bat third Thursday after missing the last three games with a biceps spasm. He was removed from action on Sunday and hasn't played since. He'll man the designated hitter spot in the order Wednesday with Victor Martinez (ankle) out of the lineup. Miggy […]

Mike Fiers Faces Royals Thursday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Mike Fiers will toe the rubber Thursday to take on the struggling Kansas City Royals. It looks like a favorable matchup on paper, as the Royals have stumbled offensively out of the gate, but Fiers allowed 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings of work his last time against the Royals and […]

JaCoby Jones Tallies Three Hits, Scores Winning Run

Detroit Tigers outfielder JaCoby Jones had a nice day at the dish on Wednesday, going 3-for-5 as the Tigers beat the Rays. Jones hit a couple singles early in the game, but it was his leadoff triple in the bottom of the 12th inning that turned out to be one of the biggest plays of […]

Miguel Cabrera Remains Out Of Lineup Wednesday

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) will miss another game Wednesday, his third missed start in a row. He was removed from Sunday's game with a biceps spasm and is listed as day-to-day, but the team is playing it safe so as not to exacerbate the injury. The team waited to post Wednesday's lineup […]

Shane Greene Fires Perfect Ninth For Fifth Save

Detroit Tigers closer Shane Greene bounced back from a poor outing on Tuesday, tossing a perfect frame and striking out two batters to pick up save No. 5 on the year. It was a positive sign for Greene, who was roughed up on Monday in a non-save situation and had blown two of his last […]

Miguel Cabrera Could Return Any Day

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (biceps) left Sunday's loss at Baltimore with what the team called a biceps spasm, and has been out of the lineup for the last two games. He is listed as day-to-day, and the team's injury report says that Cabrera could return any day. Miggy told reporters that he's felt […]

Matthew Boyd Turns In Another Quality Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd bounced back on Tuesday following a shellacking by the Pirates his last time out. Boyd fired six innings of one-run ball against Tampa Bay, scattering seven hits and striking out seven in the process. Even with his Pittsburgh meltdown in the mix in which he allowed four earned runs […]

Jose Iglesias Is Picking Up Steam

From Opening Day to April 12, Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias had just two hits. Since then, he has notched 19 hits in the last 15 games to raise his season average to .223. That's not a real impressive number, but it puts his slow start into perspective considering he is batting .322 over the […]

Daniel Norris Will Miss At Least Eight Weeks

Detroit Tigers pitcher Daniel Norris exited Sunday's game against the Orioles with what the team had initially called groin tightness, but he will now miss eight to 12 weeks to undergo surgery. Norris originally injured his groin last summer and it has caused lingering issues ever since. He is currently listed on the 10-day disabled […]

Shane Greene Falters Again, Closing Job In Jeopardy

Detroit Tigers reliever Shane Greene had yet another rough outing on Monday after entering in a tie ballgame and immediately giving up three earned runs to Tampa Bay. Greene managed to get just one out in the inning in which he allowed a walk and two homers. Prior to Monday's appearance, Greene had blown two […]

Can the Surprising Detroit Tigers Sustain Their Early Success?

In 2006, Detroit Tigers first baseman Chris Shelton had a ridiculous April, amassing a .326/.404/.783 line with 10 home runs and 20 RBI in the first month of the season. He hit just six more home runs over the next three months before ultimately being demoted to Triple-A Toledo. All that is to say, Tigers […]

Matthew Boyd Roughed Up By Pirates

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd couldn't escape the third inning on Wednesday, turning in his worst outing of the young season. Boyd had entered Wednesday's game with three consecutive starts in which he went at least six innings and allowed no more than one run, so this performance against a sputtering Pittsburgh offense comes […]

Leonys Martin Launches Two Homers Wednesday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Leonys Martin is having himself a productive 2018 campaign atop the Tigers batting order, and Wednesday was no exception to that fact. Martin started both games of Detroit's doubleheader with Pittsburgh and homered in each game, doubling his season total. Martin's plate discipline has helped him out thus far, with his .341 […]

Shane Greene Fires Perfect Inning For Save

Detroit Tigers closer Shane Greene worked a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday to hold off the Pirates and secure the victory, earning his fourth save in the process. Greene had previously blown his last two save opportunities, so it was good for him to get back on track. Greene has a 3.72 ERA and 11 strikeouts […]

Miguel Cabrera Continues Hot Streak With Four Hits

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera added four hits to his season total on Wednesday against the Pirates. The veteran slugger played only the first game of the doubleheader, but did his part to contribute to Detroit's 13-run outburst by driving in two runs and scoring three of his own. Miggy has been ridiculous over […]

Nick Castellanos Collects Five Hits And Five RBI

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nick Castellanos had himself a day on Wednesday as the Tigers played back-to-back games against the Pirates. Castellanos started both games of the doubleheader and propelled the Tigers offense in both, notching five hits, scoring two runs, slugging a homer and driving in five runs on the day. He has really […]

Jeimer Candelario Scores Six Runs In Doubleheader

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario had an incredible day at the dish on Wednesday in a doubleheader against Pittsburgh. On the day, Candelario collected four hits, a home run, an RBI, and six runs scored. The majority of the damage was done in Game 1, in which the youngster finished a triple shy of […]

Victor Martinez Limited For Next Three Games

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez will be available to pinch hit, but not much else, as the Tigers will be spending the next three games in a National League ballpark. The veteran slugger does not play a defensive position, and will therefore be a non-factor from a fantasy perspective. It's not a bad time […]
