Flaherty, at his best, is a perfectly viable Game 2 starter. But his performance this season has fluctuated as wildly as it did for the Los Angeles Dodgers in last year's playoffs, when he followed his two best starts with poor ones. He warrants only so much trust. With the emerging Melton, Holton and perhaps Brant Hurter, who is currently on the injured list with back soreness at Triple A, the Tigers will not lack for bulk-inning candidates.

Right-hander Beau Brieske has been on Triple-A Toledo's injured list since July 10 due to elbow soreness, and Tigers GM Jeff Greenberg told reporters (including the Detroit News' Chris McCosky) yesterday that the reliever had a setback during a recent bullpen session. As a result, Brieske will be shut down for the next 4-6 weeks, meaning that his 2025 season is all but officially over, barring both a deep Tigers postseason run and a rather improbable activation to a playoff roster.

I think the goal is to have as many productive players as we can and guys that can help us win,

The Detroit Tigers released their schedule for the 2026 season on Tuesday, Aug. 26, and they begin with Opening Day on March 26 against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. The Tigers play their first six games on the road, facing the Padres for a three-game series (March 26-28) and the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game series (March 30-April 1) at Chase Field.

He appeared in just 31 games during that first taste of the majors and didn't hit much at all, but earned a regular role with the Pirates in his first full big league season the following year and hit quite well across 130 games. Then 25 years old, Newman impressed with an above-average .308/.353/.446 slash line (109 wRC+) in 531 plate appearances as Pittsburgh's starting shortstop.

To gain more ground, though, they'll have to go through the division-leading 76-53 Detroit Tigers as they begin a short roadtrip to Detroit followed by Chicago (AL). The Tigers are also 8-2 in their last 10 games and are riding a three-game winning streak. The Royals will start Ryan Bergert in their continued pursuit of the Mariners. Bergert has been a bit of a revelation after his acquisition, having three very solid starts for the Royals so far in August.

Tigers right-hander won't pitch competitively this year, manager A.J. Hinch told reporters (including Evan Woodbery of MLive) yesterday. While the Tigers have announced that Madden is working on a return-to-play throwing progression, Hinch revealed that the goal of that program is to set him up for a "productive offseason" rather than to try and get him back on the mound for game action before the year ends.

Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson, now ranked 12th in MLB with 26 home runs, hit a 'Tork Bomb' in the ninth inning to secure a 2-1 victory.

The Detroit Tigers continue their road swing this weekend against the Minnesota Twins, who are looking to extend their recent success against the Tigers from earlier this season.

Detroit Tigers took a cautious approach at the trade deadline, focusing on acquiring seven pitchers, including Charlie Morton and Chris Paddack, while maintaining their top prospects.

Spencer Horwitz hit his first career grand slam during the game, launching the ball 416 feet at a speed of 106.1 mph, which greatly contributed to the Pirates' early lead.

Tanner Rainey has signed a minor league deal with the Tigers, assigned to Triple-A Toledo to provide depth in the bullpen. Rainey's performance in recent seasons has been inconsistent, struggling with high ERA and walk rates while showing signs of improvement in Triple-A.

Carpenter is fifth on the Tigers in plate appearances but third with 16 home runs, trailing Riley Greene and Spencer Torkelson despite having 68 fewer plate appearances than Greene and 53 fewer than Torkelson.

Jobe's need for UCL surgery is a significant setback, particularly as he was a leading prospect for the Tigers, demonstrating both promise and talent this season.

Tyler Alexander, a former left-handed pitcher for the Detroit Tigers, has signed a one-year deal with the Chicago White Sox after being designated for assignment.
