Detroit Tigers: News, Scores, Stats, Headlines, Injury Updates & More

Improved of late, the Orioles still face an uphill climb to avoid a lost season

A year ago the Baltimore Orioles looked like a dynasty in the making. Since then, they’ve been thoroughly mediocre, and even an improved stretch recently hasn’t helped their outlook much for 2025.

Rotoworld Player News

Reese Olson

DET Starting Pitcher #45

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Tigers’ manager A.J. Hinch told reporters on Thursday that Reese Olson (finger) will require one final minor league rehab start before rejoining the Tigers’ starting rotation.

The 25-year-old hurler threw 58 pitches his last time out at Triple-A Toledo on Thursday and they want him to be stretched out a bit more before jumping back into the big league rotation. Olson has been shelved since mid-May due to inflammation in his right ring finger. That means Keider Montero and Sawyer Gipson-Long should stick around for at least another week in the club’s rotation.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize was removed from Sunday’s start against the Rays for precautionary reasons due to cramping.

It’s a massive relief that Mize is not hurt after experiencing some diminished velocity prior to leaving Sunday’s start in the sixth inning. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that he dealt with some cramping with temperatures in the 90’s and the heat index touching triple digits in Tampa Bay. The 28-year-old righty should be ready to take the ball on Saturday against the Twins.
Wenceel Perez

DET Right Fielder #46

Wenceel Pérez went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI in a 9-3 win over the Rays on Sunday.

Pérez has been good since coming off the IL, slashing .296/.346/.648 in 22 games with six home runs and 13 RBI. He’s seen gains in his exit velocities and is pulling the ball in the air more than he did in his rookie season. With Matt Vierling sidelined, Pérez has become the regular right fielder for the Tigers and is worth adding in deeper formats.
Parker Meadows

DET Center Fielder #22

Parker Meadows went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

Meadows has gotten off to a slow start this season, slashing .172/.262/.345 with two home runs and seven RBI. However, he did miss three months with a nerve issue in his arm, so some rust should be expected. He came into today with a 90.3 mph average exit velocity and 7.7 percent barrel rate, with an above-average swinging strike rate and contact rate. His defense is going to keep him in the lineup, so we expect him to continue rounding into form. Don’t give up on him yet.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize left Sunday’s start against the Rays with a trainer.

It’s worth noting that the temperature was hovering around 90 degrees at first pitch down in Tampa Bay, so it might be a heat-related departure. Mize exited after allowing a leadoff single to Junior Caminero in the sixth inning. He had limited Tampa Bay to just one run over five frames with a 24 percent whiff rate and 21 percent CSW. He struck out five and didn’t hand out a free pass. There should be an update on his status shortly, but assuming he is able to make his next start, it would be in a good spot against the Twins.
Sawyer Gipson-Long

DET Starting Pitcher #66

Pitching behind opener Brant Hurter, Sawyer Gipson-Long gave up four runs and three homers over 6 1/3 innings Saturday against the Rays.

This one started off terribly for Detroit. The second batter of the game reached on a strikeout/passed ball, and Hurter, who should have thrown an easy one-two-three frame, gave up a double, two walks, a HBP and a single with two outs, making the score 4-0. Gipson-Long came in and prevented further damage in the inning, but the Tigers never got back into the contest. At least Gipson-Long went on to get 19 outs, five more than in any of his previous three appearances, on only 68 pitches. Still, the home run ball did him in. He’s allowed five of those in 17 2/3 innings since returning from elbow surgery.
Spencer Torkelson

DET 1st Baseman #20

Spencer Torkelson is on the bench for Saturday afternoon’s game against the Rays.

Torkelson has been scuffling in recent weeks, hitting .198 (21-for-106) with five homers and 14 RBI over his last 30 games. He’s slid into a deeper tailspin of late, batting .083 (2-for-24) over his last seven games. The positive angle here is that he’s not striking out at an astronomical rate. However, the Tigers have a capable alternative in Colt Keith, especially against right-handed starters, which is why he’s getting the nod to face Rays starter Ryan Pepiot on Saturday afternoon instead.
Riley Greene

DET Center Fielder #31

Riley Greene went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs and four RBI on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to propel the Tigers to victory over the Rays in Tampa Bay.

After facing an early 4-0 deficit, Greene got the Tigers back in the game with a 432-foot (108.1 mph EV) three-run blast off of Shane Baz in the third inning. He then walked to lead off the sixth inning and scored on an RBI double off the bat of Parker Meadows. Greene also led off the eighth inning with a 381-foot (111.2 mph EV) solo shot off of Eric Orze that pulled the Tigers to within five runs at 11-6. With his three-hit attack, the sizzling 24-year-old outfielder is now slashing .287/.341/.526 with 17 long balls and 59 RBI.
Jack Flaherty

DET Starting Pitcher #9

Jack Flaherty was absolutely annihilated in Friday night’s loss to the Rays, giving up eight runs on eight hits in just 2 1/3 innings of work.

Yikes. Flaherty also issued three free passes while striking out three batters on the night. The Rays jumped on him early and often in this one, as Yandy Diaz blasted a leadoff home run to spark a four-run rally in the opening inning. After navigating a scoreless second, the Rays went right back to work in the third inning as Taylor Walls smacked a three-run double that mercifully chased Flaherty from the game. He now holds an uninspiring 4.83 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 93/31 K/BB ratio across 78 1/3 innings on the season. He’ll try to pick up the pieces on Thursday when he takes on the Athletics.
Dylan Smith

DET Starting Pitcher #58

Tigers recalled RHP Dylan Smith from Triple-A Toledo.

Smith was with the team as the 27th man for Thursday’s doubleheader against the Pirates, but he’ll stick around as an extra bullpen arm with Keider Montero getting optioned to Triple-A instead. He’ll give manager A.J. Hinch another weapon to deploy in the middle innings.
