Tigers first-round pick Cameron Flukey signed for a $3.8 million bonus, per MLB Pipeline’s Jim Callis, just below the slot value of $4,082,700.

Tigers have signed first-round pick RHP Cameron Flukey and competitive balance pick RHP Evan Dempsey.

Per source, the Red Sox are acquiring Jahmai Jones (recently DFA’d) from the Tigers for a PTBNL. After an excellent 2025, Jones struggles to a .137/.219/.221 line in 105 PAs for Detroit this year, but he gives the Sox RH corner OF depth.

Florida Complex League is the only level in action for the next few days, so Jackson Jobe and Gleyber Torres are headed there. Others are joining them in Lakeland for rehab but not games.

Riley Greene starts in left field for All-Star Game, his second consecutive All-Star start, with Aaron Judge and Byron Buxton out.

No corresponding move for Framber Valdez at this point. Triple-A Toledo is on the road this weekend, so getting a player back to Detroit on short notice was difficult. Tigers will likely add a player coming out of All-Star break.

Former Tigers closer Jason Foley is back in the big leagues after shoulder surgery last year. Last pitched in Majors on Oct. 1, 2024 for Tigers in AL Wild Card Series.

If Derek Hill is playing center field at Comerica Park for anybody, you know you're getting one of these catches.

Tarik Skubal was in the middle of an interview when Tigers' draft pick was announced on TV. He paused the interview to check out the pick, saw Cameron Flukey's fastball velocity and vertical carry pop up, and gave his thumbs-up. "Yeah, we're good," he said with a smile.

Tigers have claimed RHP Andre Granillo off waivers from Nationals and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo. The 26-yr-old reliever has a 6.23 ERA over 30 1/3 innings in 22 career games -- 14 for STL last year, 8 for WAS this season.

Early batting practice at Comerica Park for Kyle Schwarber includes some Home Run Derby practice swings. Hasn’t put any on the RF porch … yet. But he got Tarik Skubal out of the Tigers clubhouse for some good-natured chatter.

With Seattle's loss tonight, Tigers have moved within 2 1/2 games of the final AL Wild Card spot.

Tigers beat Phillies, 10-2. They've won 6 in a row, 9 of their last 10 and are an AL-best 22-12 since June 1.

Kevin McGonigle goes oppo against his hometown team for a go-ahead 2-run HR.

This was the first home run off Jack Flaherty since May 22, ending a 31 1/3-inning homerless streak.

Former Tiger Derek Hill, a last-minute addition to Phillies starting lineup after Justin Crawford was scratched, homers to the deepest part of his old home park.

Tigers probably will go to a six-man rotation coming out of All-Star break, moving Keider Montero back into a starting role, A.J. Hinch said. Tigers play 13 games over 13 days in 3 time zones after the break before their next off-day July 30.

Dillon Dingler improving but still out of lineup. Jake Rogers starts tonight. Eduardo Valencia expected to get his first start on Saturday, catching Casey Mize.

Will Vest diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right elbow. No surgery needed, but he'll be shelved for a while. Expected to pitch again at some point this season.

Eduardo Valencia spent nearly a decade in the Tigers farm system dreaming of a moment like Thursday. After becoming the 10th player in Tigers history to homer in his first MLB at-bat, he was overwhelmed by emotion. “He’s a good guy. He’s a fighter.” www.mlb.com/news/eduardo...

Eduardo Valencia is the 10th player in Tigers history with a HR in his 1st career AB He joins: 2021 Akil Baddoo 2020 Sergio Alcántara 2015 Daniel Norris 1974 Reggie Sanders 1970 Gene Lamont 1964 Bill Rowan 1963 Gates Brown 1948 Sam Vico 1944 Hack Miller

Eduardo Valencia homers in his first MLB at-bat!

Zach McKinstry puts the @Tigers back on top!

Jake Rogers has homered in back-to-back games, his first home-run streak since Sept. 17-18, 2023, during his 21-homer season.

Dillon Dingler is day-to-day with a right hand contusion, per A.J. Hinch. No IL move. C/1B Eduardo Valencia called up from Triple-A Toledo for depth. Jahmai Jones designated for assignment.

Justin Verlander is retiring. Tarik Skubal is a free agent at season’s end. Is Troy Melton the next nasty pitcher to rise from the Tigers system? “He’s been pretty dominant when he goes out there and starts,” Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said. www.mlb.com/news/troy-me...

Jake Rogers on deck to hit for Dillon Dingler, who took a foul tip off his right thumb last inning.

Tigers No. 4 prospect Max Anderson has been added to this weekend’s Futures Game roster. The Triple-A Toledo infielder replaces Double-A Erie catcher Thayron Liranzo, who’s out with a left index finger laceration that required stitches.

After two decades of managers prying the ball from Justin Verlander’s hand at the end of starts, the future Hall of Famer is handing it off, calling it a career at season’s end. www.mlb.com/news/justin-...

Justin Verlander announced he will retire at season’s end:

Three-time Cy Young Award winner, two-time World Series Champion, 2011 American League MVP, and 2006 AL Rookie of the Year Justin Verlander has been named to the AL roster as a “Legend Pick” for the 2026 All-Star Game, Commissioner of Baseball Robert D. Manfred, Jr. announced today.

Justin Verlander added to American League All-Star roster as a “Legend Pick” by commissioner. He won’t be active but will take part in festivities. It’s his 10th All-Star selection and first as a Tiger since 2013. He’s the 2nd Tiger to receive such an honor, joining Miguel Cabrera in 2022.

Jackson Jobe allowed a run on 2 hits over 1 1/3 innings with a K in his first rehab start tonight for Single-A Lakeland. 32 pitches, 24 strikes. He threw two fastballs at 100.2 mph.

According to our tremendous research folks, this is just the second time in Skubal's career that he has struck out his first 3 batters in an outing. The other was June 9, 2024 vs. Milwaukee, when he fanned Joey Ortiz, Rhys Hoskins and Christian Yelich in order.

Reigning AL Cy Young vs. reigning AL Rookie of the Year Tarik Skubal overpowered Nick Kurtz in their first matchup 🔥

Lenny Harris reference on Switzerland-Colombia after a late-game sub was described as a great pinch-hitter. Well played.

Don't expect a drastic shift in Tigers' baserunning aggressiveness with Joey Cora out and Billy Boyer in as 3B coach, per manager A.J. Hinch:

Hinch on Cora: "We had some philosophical differences, and we both just agreed it's probably best for the players and everybody to separate."

Tigers and 3B coach Joey Cora have mutually agreed to part ways effective immediately, A.J. Hinch announced. Billy Boyer will take over as 3B coach for rest of season. Decision was entirely baseball related, per Hinch, who mentioned philosophical differences.

Tarik Skubal, who starts tonight vs. Athletics, is “tentatively” lined up to pitch Sunday vs. Phillies just before All-Star break, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told MLB Network Radio. That could change, Hinch said, depending on how they use Keider Montero during the week.

Multiview on England-Mexico had a camera on Bellingham once Harry Kane was subbed off. Bellingham literally couldn’t run anymore in the final minute and still got back to make a play. Incredible.

I mean, after watching what Paraguay got away with vs. France on Saturday without even a 🟨 …

Riley Greene, Dillon Dingler and Kevin McGonigle heading to All-Star Game after being voted on thru players ballot. Dingler is 1st Tigers All-Star catcher since Alex Avila in 2011. McGonigle is 1st Tigers rookie All-Star since Matt Nokes in 1987. 3rd consecutive All-Star nod for Greene.

Messi with the World Cup equivalent of a quick pitch. What a save.

Keider Montero ranks 8th among AL starters in ERA, 3rd in WHIP and 5th in AVG allowed. He also came out of the bullpen to strand the winning run in extra innings Wednesday to complete a Tigers sweep at Yankee Stadium. “He has an incredible mindset.” www.mlb.com/tigers/news/...

Tigers complete their first series sweep at Yankee Stadium since 2008 with a 6-2 win in 11 innings. Keider Montero struck out three over two scoreless innings of relief for the win.

One reason Keider Montero moved to bullpen instead of somebody else is that he's used to this. He fanned Oswaldo Cabrera and Ali Sanchez, reaching back for 97 mph for the latter, to strand winning run on 3B in 10th.

Kenley Jansen was warming in bullpen going into 9th inning and is again warming for 10th. Keider Montero also warming for 10th after Yankees tied it off Drew Anderson in his second inning of relief.

On a hot afternoon at Yankee Stadium, Troy Melton picked up where Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize left off: 6.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 7 K Tigers starters vs. Yankees this series: 19.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, BB, 26 K
