Niko Goodrum Hits Fourth Home Run

Detroit Tigers second baseman Niko Goodrum went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in Tuesday's 3-0 victory over the Orioles. It was the 27-year-old infielder's fourth homer of the season, although it was his first this month. He has struggled overall in May, hitting a lowly .181 and posting just a .490 OPS […]

Shane Greene Locks Down 17th Save

Detroit Tigers reliever Shane Greene notched his American-League-best 17th save on Tuesday as the Tigers beat the Orioles. The fact that Greene is among the top relievers and save-getters in baseball is remarkable, given how terrible the Tigers are: they've won just 20 games, but Greene has sealed the deal in 17 of them. The […]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd took the hill on Tuesday against the struggling Orioles and did exactly what he was supposed to do, holding the Orioles scoreless over six innings of work with eight strikeouts and just one walk. He scattered six hits in the outing. Boyd has been a pleasant surprise in a […]

Nicholas Castellanos' Hitting Streak Comes To An End

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos was riding an eight-game hitting streak heading into Tuesday night's contest with the Orioles, but had that streak snapped with an 0-for-4 performance at the dish with three strikeouts. Over the previous streak, Castellanos had multiple hits in four of those eight games, and he's batting .355/.344/.581 over the […]

Josh Harrison Has Grade 2 Hamstring Strain

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. There is no timetable for his return, although he could easily miss more than a month with this ailment. It's Harrison's second injured list stint in what has been a disaster of a first […]

Jordy Mercer Suffers Setback On Rehab Assignment

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jordy Mercer (quadriceps) experienced renewed right quadriceps soreness on his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo and was pulled in the fourth inning on Tuesday, according to a source.

Josh Harrison Going On Injured List

The Detroit Tigers are placing second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and are calling up outfielder Victor Reyes from the minors in a corresponding move. It'll be Harrison's second injured list stint already this year, and he's hitting an embarrassing .176/.219/.265 with a homer, 10 runs, eight RBI and […]

Josh Harrison, Ronny Rodriguez Out Tuesday

Detroit Tigers second baseman Josh Harrison (hamstring) and shortstop Ronny Rodriguez are not in the starting lineup on Tuesday. Niko Goodrum is starting at the keystone and is hitting leadoff, while Gordon Beckham is at the 6 and batting seventh against Orioles starting pitcher Dylan Bundy. Harrison should be considered day-to-day after tweaking his hamstring […]

Jeimer Candelario Recalled, Spencer Turnbull On Bereavement List

The Detroit Tigers recalled third baseman Jeimer Candelario from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday and placed starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull on the bereavement list in a corresponding move. Candelario was demoted 13 days ago and had 15 hits in 42 at-bats (.357) with three home runs and 13 RBI in 11 games for Toledo. He returns […]

Matt Manning Continues To Impress

Detroit Tigers prospect Matt Manning continues to impress as a starting pitcher for Double-A Erie. Manning threw six innings and only allowed four hits, one run, one walk and struck out seven. Manning, 21, has been dominant this season in Double-A and owns an impressive 2.10 ERA with four wins and two losses. The Tigers […]

Matthew Boyd A Strong Start Tuesday Against Baltimore

Despite the recent struggles for the Detroit Tigers, starting pitcher Matthew Boyd is a strong play Tuesday against an equally bad Orioles squad. The ace of the Detroit staff with Michael Fulmer (elbow) out for the year, Boyd has turned in a 3.11 ERA with 80 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings of work. Baltimore has […]

There's a decent chance that Harrison will need to go back on the injured list as a result, but stay tuned for an update […]

Ryan Carpenter To Start On Short Rest Wednesday

Detroit Tigers pitcher Ryan Carpenter will start on short rest on Wednesday against the Orioles on the road. The left-hander allowed just an earned run in five innings while walking none and striking out five in his last start on Saturday against the Mets, but you shouldn't forget that he gave up 13 earned runs […]

Jordan Zimmermann To Throw Simulated Game Friday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (elbow) is expected to throw a simulated game on Friday. Zimmermann is 0-4 on the season with a bloated 5.93 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 30 1/3 innings over his six starts. He'll likely need a rehab assignment before returning from the injured list. The 33-year-old veteran […]

Like last week, this weeks story-line was plastered with news about prospect call-ups (and some of them weren't even middle infielders).

As important as it is to be active on the waiver wire, snagging that next hot bat or pitcher on a roll before anyone else can, let's be honest--there are only so many roster spots.
