Ben Malgeri has three hits in win over Guardians

Ben Malgeri

DET Outfield

Player Stats

Ben Malgeri went 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI as the Tigers triumphed over the Guardians on Saturday evening in Cleveland.

Malgeri led off the second inning with a single, but wound up getting stranded at second base. He also smacked a one-out double in the sixth inning, but once again the Tigers were unable to cash him in. He then took matters into his own hands with a two-out, RBI single in the seventh that extended the Tigers’ lead to 6-0. With his three-hit attack, the 26-year-old outfielder is now slashing .258/.356/.393 with three homers and 14 RBI in his first 104 plate appearances at the game’s highest level.

Jon Morosi joins the Dan Patrick show to discuss the big questions facing the Dodgers as they enter the offseason with an aging lineup. He contrasts this with how the Brewers built a team centered around young talent.

Ben Malgeri recorded the first multi-homer game of his MLB career on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Tigers past the visiting White Sox.

Malgeri got the Tigers on the board and briefly gave them a 2-1 advantage with his 375-foot (100.5-mph EV) two-run shot off of Jose Urquidy in the second inning. He then greeted Huascar Brazoban by crushing a first-pitch sinker for a 372-foot (105.7-mph EV) solo shot in the seventh that trimmed the Tigers’ deficit to 8-4. He finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting a solid .283/.391/.491 with three homers and 10 RBI in his first 64 plate appearances with the Tigers.
Riley Greene

DET Left Fielder #31

Riley Greene is not in the Tigers’ starting lineup for Sunday’s matchup against Gage Jump and the Athletics.

Greene will get a rare breather on Sunday afternoon with the left-hander on the mound for the Athletics. Expect to see him off the bench against a righty later in the game. Ben Malgeri will start in his place in left field and bat eighth for the Tigers on Sunday afternoon at Sutter Health Park.
Ben Malgeri

DET Outfield

Tigers selected the contract of OF Ben Malgeri from Triple-A Toledo.

Assuming he gets into a game, Malgeri will have a chance to make his MLB debut after being an 18th round pick out of Northeastern in 2021. The 26-year-old will likely be a bench bat in this stint with the Tigers, but the right-handed hitting outfielder could see some starts against left-handed pitching.
Josue Briceno

DET Catcher #80

Tigers reassigned C Josue Briceño, OF Ben Malgeri, and RHP Matt Seelinger to minor league camp.

Briceño is one of the top prospects in the Tigers’ system, but he will be sidelined for a few months after wrist surgery. Malgeri made it as high as Double-A last year, while Seelinger had a solid season, posting a 2.74 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 75/25 K/BB ratio in 65 2/3 innings out of the bullpen at Double-A and Triple-A.
Ben Malgeri

DET Outfield

Ben Malgeri went 3-for-3 with four RBI off the bench to lead the Tigers past the Phillies 7-6 on Saturday.

Malgeri was brought over from minor league camp for the day and made quite the contribution in driving in the majority of Detroit’s runs. A 2021 18th-round pick, Malgeri hit .252/.343/.409 with 12 homers and 20 steals in Double-A last season. He strikes out too much to rate as a major league prospect.

Yandy Diaz hit a two-run homer as the Rays beat the Guardians 7-3 in Game 4 of the ALCS on Saturday.

Diaz essentially put the game away with his two-run homer in the ninth to give the Rays a 7-3 lead. The homer is not only his first of the postseason, but it also gives him his first runs driven in since the regular season ended. The 35-year-old will have a chance to add to those totals in a critical Game 5 come Sunday.

Jonathan Aranda went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs in a Game 4 win over the Guardians in the ALCS on Saturday.

Aranda tied the game at 1-1 with a bloop single into center in the third inning. The 28-year-old had a two-run single in the seventh to extend that lead to 4-1, but he was credited with just one more RBI because of an error by Chase DeLauter. He’s now hitting a respectable .269/.345/.385 in the postseason, and he has the Rays two wins from their second trip to the World Series in Rays’ history.

Travis Bazzana hit a solo homer in a loss to the Rays on Saturday in Game 4 of the ALCS.

Bazzana lined a homer into right to get the Guardians back into it at 5-2. The former first-overall pick also singled and walked in easily his best postseason game of his brief career. Bazzana will likely be in the lineup Sunday in a massive Game 5 against Tampa Bay on Sunday in Cleveland.

Bryan Baker fired a scoreless ninth in the Rays’ win over the Guardians on Saturday in Game 4 of the ALCS.

Baker doesn’t get a save because a Yandy Diaz two-run homer in the ninth gave the Rays four-run lead. Something tells us that he didn’t mind. He did allow a hit to open his inning, but it was erased by a double play and he picked up a strikeout to end the festivities. Baker threw only 12 pitches, so there’s no reason to think he won’t be available in Game 5.

Foster Griffin allowed one run over 3 2/3 innings of relief during Game 4 of the ALCS against the Rays on Saturday.

Griffin came in after Shawn Armstrong fired a scoreless inning as the opener. The southpaw gave up a run on a looping single from Jonathan Aranda in the third, but outside of that was excellent while striking out five against one walk. Griffin threw “only” 44 pitches, so there’s a very good chance he’ll start either Game 6 or 7 in Tampa Bay; or possibly working a similar role in one of those contests.

Nick Martinez held the Guardians to one run over 5 2/3 innings in a Game 4 of the ALCS win over the Guardians on Saturday.

Martinez gave up his only run in the first inning when he allowed an RBI single in the first to Chase DeLauter. He did not all another hit, and while he struck out only three, he was in control from the second inning on in an exceptional outing for the 36-year-old veteran. Martinez threw 79 pitches in the contest, so while he certainly won’t be available in Game 5, he could be an option in Tampa Bay out of the bullpen for Games 6 and 7.

The matchup is the same as in last night’s rained out game, so there’s no need to changeup the lineup of
Steven Kwan (LF), Jose Ramírez (3B), Chase DeLauter (RF), Jo Adell (DH), Nathaniel Lowe (1B), Travis Bazzana (2B), Patrick Bailey (C), Petey Halpin (CF) and Brayan Rocchio (SS).

Tigers signed LHP Nick Raquet to a two-year, minor league contract.

Raquet, who was released by the Orioles last month, recently underwent Tommy John surgery and probably won’t pitch at all next season. The 30-year-old has a 4.76 ERA in six MLB relief appearances with the Cardinals and Orioles the last two seasons. He has a 5.00 ERA and a 130/50 K/BB in 129 2/3 career innings in Triple-A.

Pirates re-signed OF Kyler Fedko to a two-year, minor league contract.

Fedko made his major league debut with the Twins in June, going 0-for-16 in 14 games before returning to Triple-A. He then suffered a torn ACL in August and was released in September, at which point the Pirates signed him. He’s aiming to resume playing in May. The 27-year-old was quite successful for the Twins’ Triple-A club the last two years, hitting .272/.358/.519 with 25 homers and 22 steals in 117 games.

Jesús Made went 2-for-3 with a homer and two walks Friday in his debut for Licey in the Dominican Winter League.

Playing winter ball for the first time, the 19-year-old Made homered off Jeremy Rhoades in his first at-bat in Licey’s first game of the season. One of the game’s best prospects, Made hit .271/.344/.430 with 14 homers and 37 steals in Double-A this year. The Brewers moved him around some to second and third in his first two years in the system, but he was strictly a shortstop this season.
