Detroit Tigers reliever Joe Jimenez has been stellar out of the bullpen this season, and he picked up a win in Wednesday's contest against the Twins after entering a tie ball game and turning in a scoreless frame.

Jeimer Candelario Solidifying Cleanup Role

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario quietly moved into the cleanup slot during the Tigers series against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 3. Since then, he's made five more starts hitting out of that spot, including four straight. It should come as no surprise, as Candelario leads the team in home runs with 10 […]

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Blaine Hardy made another spot start on Tuesday, his sixth of the season, as the Tigers continue to battle injury issues in their rotation.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano (hamstring) has been on the disabled list since May 29th with a right hamstring strain, but he pitched in a simulated game on Tuesday.

Jordan Zimmermann Gives Up Seven Hits In Rehab Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (shoulder) made a rehab appearance Monday night at Single-A West Michigan, and it wasn't exactly smooth sailing. Zimmermann gave up three hits and a run in the first inning, and also botched a pickoff throw to second base that ended up in the outfield. While that run in the […]

Miguel Cabrera's Struggles Continue

Detroit Tigers first baseman Miguel Cabrera (back, hamstring) has watched his batting average steadily decline since returning from the disabled list on June 1st.

Jeimer Candelario Looking To Build On Walk-Off Homer

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario has been struggling at the dish over the last seven days, batting just .192 in that stretch.

Francisco Liriano Throw Simulated Game

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano (hamstring) is set to pitch in a simulated game, but the team hasn't announced precisely when that will be.

Alex Wilson Activated, Ronny Rodriguez Demoted

The Detroit Tigers activated reliever Alex Wilson (foot) Thursday ahead of their matchup with the Boston Red Sox. Wilson had been on the shelf since early May with a 95 percent tear in his left plantar fascia, and it's been a much longer recovery process than his status on the 10-day disabled list originally suggested. […]

A couple of regulars are getting a day of rest Thursday when the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Pittsburgh Pirates. Outfielder Yasiel Puig and third baseman Justin Turner are both out of the lineup against right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's a routine day of rest in both cases, but it's worth mentioning that both Puig […]

Victor Martinez Goes Hitless Again

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez got off to a slow start but after a bounce-back month in May, he's really struggling in June. V-Mart went hitless in Wednesday's action against the Red Sox. It was his second straight hitless game and his third in four games. Over the last seven games, Martinez is hitting […]

Detroit Tigers right fielder Nicholas Castellanos had another multi-hit game on Tuesday, his 16th such effort since May 1. One of the hits was a double, his 20th of the season.

Jeimer Candelario Day-To-Day With Jammed Finger

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario exited Tuesday's contest early with a jammed finger and is considered day-to-day. After an errant throw to first in the fourth inning, Candelario was removed and sources told reporters he would receive X-rays on his right middle finger. Those X-rays came back negative, so he shouldn't miss significant time. […]

Jordan Zimmermann Will Make Rehab Start Wednesday

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann (shoulder) is set to make another rehab appearance with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday. The veteran righty has been on the disabled list since May 8 and was roughed up badly in his first rehab start May 27, allowing seven runs in less than an inning of work. He worked […]

Alex Wilson Will Make Rehab Appearance Tuesday

Detroit Tigers reliever Alex Wilson (foot) will make a rehab appearance on Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo. The right-hander has been dealing with a right plantar fascia strain that limited his ability to run and plant on that foot.

Jose Iglesias Is Swinging Well As Of Late

Detroit Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias hasn't been known for his bat throughout his career, but over the last week he's been pretty effective with it. On his last six games, Iglesias is batting .381 with two doubles and two stolen bases. He's struck out only once during this little stretch. He's really only an option […]

Michael Fulmer's Struggles Continue

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer called his most recent performance, Tuesday's loss to the Angels, "embarrassing."

Francisco Liriano Heads To Disabled List

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Francisco Liriano is heading to the 10-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain, club sources reported Tuesday.
