Justin Verlander dominated his former team and Kyle Tucker homered as the Houston Astros beat the Detroit Tigers 9-3.

Brent Rooker homered, Paul Blackburn pitched six sparkling innings and the Oakland Athletics earned their second win of the season, beating the Detroit Tigers 4-0.

We’re just one week away from the start of the regular season, and my opinion has changed on whether these three Detroit Tigers players should make the Opening Day roster.

The rebuild is over, and it's time for the Detroit Tigers to start contending for the playoffs. With that said... I have questions as spring training begins (17 of them).

It’s always hard to know what to expect from a bullpen year over year, but it sure looks like this could be a secret weapon for the Detroit Tigers.

Akil Baddoo and Riley Greene homered, and five pitchers combined on a seven-hitter as the Detroit Tigers beat the Miami Marlins 5-0 Saturday.

When pitchers and catchers showed up to Detroit Tigers‘ spring camp last week, two centerpieces of the organization’s long rebuild were notably absent.

Eric Haase had three hits including a home run and the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2.

Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout homered in the same game for the eighth time this season during the Los Angeles Angels' 5-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

Tarik Skubal allowed just two hits in seven shutout innings in Detroit Tigers’ 5-0 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Jonathan Schoop homered and drove in four runs as the Detroit Tigers, with Kody Clemens making his major league debut while his famous father watched from a suite, beat the Minnesota Twins 4-0 to split a doubleheader.

Jonathan Schoop became the third player from Curaçao with 1,000 major league hits and finished a home run shy of the cycle, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 7-5 in the opener of a five-game series.

The Detroit Tigers are having some trouble with the starting rotation at the major league level, but in the minors, many of their top prospects are off to strong starts this season.

The Detroit Tigers certainly appear to be trending in the right direction, and this entire rebuild has centered around starting pitching. But beyond Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, who will be part of the staff next season?

We’ve reached the unofficial midway point in the Detroit Tigers’ season, and even though an otherwise promising couple of months were derailed by an ugly weekend in Minnesota, prospects and draft picks are the talk of the town.
