LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Tigers’ flurry of late-offseason pitcher signings had a purpose: Filling in for an injury. Reese Olson, whose 2025 season ended in July due to a shoulder strain, underwent surgery last week to repair his right labrum and will miss the upcoming season, according to the team.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Turns out there’s a full circle in the Olde English D, at least for Justin Verlander. Nine years after Verlander’s trade away from Detroit marked the unofficial beginning of the Tigers’ rebuild, his return is the latest sign of the Tigers’ intent to make the most of

The Tigers open Spring Training this week with more players established than manager A.J. Hinch has had in his tenure, but that doesn’t change the tone of camp. “Good teams have a ton of competition,” president of baseball operations Scott Harris said at the start of the offseason, “and we're

Tarik Skubal is just a season away from potential free agency, but he’ll get a massive raise this year to rank among the highest pitching salaries in the game.

Mickey Lolich, the Tigers left-hander who blossomed from a skinny strong-armed southpaw in Oregon to the hero of Detroit’s 1968 World Series comeback, has passed away. He was 85. "Lolich was a great pitcher, teammate and champion, but he was more than that to me," said former Tigers outfielder Willie

The Tigers head to Spring Training with much of the same roster that was in Lakeland, Fla., a year ago, but that doesn’t make this the same team. President of baseball operations Scott Harris said during the offseason that much of their improvement would be internal, from their current players;

Gabe Alvarez is set to return for a second season at Triple-A Toledo, while Tony Cappuccilli and Rene Rivera received promotions after leading High-A West Michigan and Single-A Lakeland to league titles, as the Tigers announced their Minor League managers, coaches and support staffs for the upcoming season.

DETROIT -- While the National Baseball Hall of Fame welcomes its newest electees Tuesday, Miguel Cabrera’s big moment looms about three years away.

I’ve been a follower -- and occasional critic -- of Hall of Fame voting and the process since I started covering baseball. That picked up when I joined the Tigers beat and realized that not only was Alan Trammell fighting an uphill battle to Cooperstown but Lou Whitaker was one

The Tigers, one of the American League’s charter franchises in 1901, have celebrated four World Series championships and 11 World Series berths. That kind of history creates a treasure trove of memorable and historic moments, and makes for a challenge to pick just 10. Some are obvious, particularly given their
