OF Ben Malgeri promoted to Detroit. UT Trei Cruz optioned to Toledo. RHP Burch Smith to the 60-day IL. Also, OF Brett Callahan and INF John Peck promoted from Double-A Erie to Triple-A Toledo www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Midseason update on the Detroit Tigers' farm system www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Improved discipline and a huge jump in performance against breaking stuff, along with elite defense, have Dillon Dingler playing like an MVP candidate. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Tarik Skubal's rehab assignment in West Michigan went according to plan. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Well this isn't good, but if it's just a scope to clear out bone chips from the elbow, that's far from the worst case scenario and might only cost him 4 to 6 weeks. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Here's a quick breakdown on recalled Ricky Vanasco as Will Vest hits the injured list with forearm inflammation. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Little dive in Casey Mize's strong start as he leads the Tigers into a tough matchup in Atlanta www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Hao-Yu Lee's first MLB home run is a sign of things to come, but probably not until 2027 www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

A potential Seabold IL stint may open a spot for Hanifee, but the relief options aren't great until Melton returns. Wouldn't mind seeing Vanasco get a shot while he's dealing but would need a 40 man spot. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Some are frustrated that Colt Keith is getting platooned, but let's wait until he starts showing some real upgrades against RHP before we talk about expanding his role. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Montero has upped his fastball and changeup usage so far this year, and his overall command, and probably the cold weather have carried him to good success for three starts. We'll have to see if it lasts. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Good to see Lee get a look but he did miss much of camp and just getting his feet under him. Hits lefties well, still learning to handle better breaking stuff. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Kevin McGonigle and the Tigers have agreed on an eight-year contract extension through 2034. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Kenley Jansen seizes third place on the all-time MLB saves list www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

A plan for a slow rolling rehab for Justin Verlander to let Keider Montero cook for a while. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Dingler, McGonigle, and Carpenter go deep to back Tarik Skubal as the Tigers sweep the Marlins and move to 7-9 on the year. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

A good start from Casey Mize and a timely tater from Riley Greene power Tigers over the Marlins. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Parker Meadows to the injured list with a concussion and a fractured left radius bone. Best wishes for a full recovery after a scary collision yesterday. Wenceel Pérez recalled. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

We didn't just join Rates & Barrels on this show. Doug and I are joining Rates & Barrels as a regular part of this show! The triumphant return of Starkville is next week (April 18) ... As part of the Rates & Barrels empire. Very excited about this. More to come next week!

Kevin McGonigle is already showing an elite approach in the early going www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Here's our roundup of all the Tigers minor league action from Saturday, featuring Malachi Witherspoon's first pro start for Lakeland. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Here's a look at how the Tigers have done with their ABS challenges in the early going. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Check out Malachi Witherspoon's pro debut for Lakeland. Sat 96.1 and hit 98.1 with sinker. Cutter was nasty. Tigers second rounder last year. Control kept him from going in the first but not an issue today. youtu.be/d6m5RkHGNRQ?...

The record through six games says little but most of the Tigers' strengths and weaknesses were perfectly on display on the opening road trip. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Pretty miserable command spoils Verlander's return.. Keith and Dingler swinging hot bats early. Carpenter looking entirely lost in the leadoff spot early on.. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Tigers 5, Padres 2. Kevin McGonigle is showing out in a big way so far. Dingler off to a great start. Pitching sharp all around. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Probably a good time to re-heat our offseason article about Kenley's cut fastball and what a freakish unicorn of a pitch it actually is. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Kevin McGonigle turns his debut into a showcase www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

If he accepts the challenge to polish his all around game a bit more, Wenceel Pérez can still play his way into a regular role with the Tigers this year. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Kevin McGonigle announced on the Tigers' Opening Day roster www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Where Jacob Misiorowski ranks among the youngest and greenest Opening Day starters in Brewers franchise history: www.mlb.com/brewers/news...

Kevin McGonigle has answered every question this spring. Now the questions go to the Tigers decision makers. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

We are up to 39 grand slams this spring Next-most in a single Spring Training in the last 20 years: 35, 2024

Our AL Central previews series continues with the Twins, who are half mess, half wounded animal that could be dangerous. www.blessyouboys.com/mlb-news/869...

19-year-old Venezuelan right-hander, Kelvis Salcedo, may be the Tigers most exciting pitching prospect. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

The Tigers' Spring Breakout roster has been announced and Kevin McGonigle isn't on it. Does that mean something? Let's hope so. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Here's our preview on the Tigers likely top competition in the AL Central, the Kansas City Royals. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Yes, the Brewers have a thing for Short Kings. But they are not a one-size-fits-all organization, writes @SamDykstraMiLB in his annual farm system preview. www.mlb.com/brewers/news...

The Tigers were featured as Team Venezuela took down the defending champs in a classic on Saturday night. Even Miguel Cabrera had a cameo, but it's Enmanuel de Jesus who has our full attention. Now Keider Montero will star against Italy in the semifinals www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

If you missed this, good article from Sports Info Solutions (creators of defensive runs saved) on how the Tigers defensive strength the past two years has been through positioning. www.sportsinfosolutions.com/2026/03/09/a...

New favorite sports injury just dropped.

A FIRST FOR EUROPE: With three consecutive wins to open the 2026 World Baseball Classic, Team Italy has become the first European nation to win three straight games in WBC play h/t Jason Zillo of Italy PR

People can't help make a lot out of the first weeks of camp, but it's worth remembering no one even has more than 5 games worth of plate appearances yet. Things don't change that quickly. That said, the McGonigle decision is the crux of the whole thing. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

As for the bullpen, Opening Day it's currently Vest, Jansen, Finnegan, Holton, Anderson, De Jesus, Hurter, and Hanifee imo. Hopefully Troy Melton will avoid any major trouble. Please command your heater, Tyler Mattison. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Tigers' lefty Enmanuel de Jesus, signed to a minor league deal after two good years in the KBO, went off tonight for Team Venezuela. 8 strikeouts and just two hits allowed over five innings against Team Israel. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...

Tigers fourth ranked prospect, C/1B Josue Briceño has undergone surgery to repair a tendon in his right wrist. www.blessyouboys.com/detroit-tige...
