DETROIT -- The last thing Riley Greene wanted this season was a return to the injured list. But the way his right hamstring was hobbling him, playing through it wasn’t working. His swings were almost all arms, a shadow of the fluid form that made the Tigers outfielder an All-Star

TORONTO -- Everything looked “typical Reese” before the second inning. “All of a sudden, he’s gone,” said catcher Jake Rogers. The Tigers’ 7-3 win over the Blue Jays on Saturday was dampened by Reese Olson’s early exit due to right shoulder soreness. Olson was subsequently placed on the 15-day injured

KANSAS CITY -- Reese Olson has a contusion on his right hip to wear for the next few days courtesy of Michael Massey’s line drive. He’s also wearing an 0-5 record despite a 2.16 ERA -- ninth-lowest among qualified MLB starters -- after the Tigers’ 8-3 loss to the Royals

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Tigers lost their second infielder to injury in as many weeks with Gio Urshela’s exit from Friday’s 5-4 win against the Twins at Target Field. Urshela hobbled off the field after running out a groundout to second base to lead off the second inning. On Saturday, Detroit

LOS ANGELES -- It had been billed as Eduardo Rodriguez’s first outing at Dodger Stadium since exercising his no-trade rights to scuttle a deal to the Dodgers at the Trade Deadline. Instead, it became an injury-shortened evening for Rodriguez, and maybe even his final outing as a Tiger. The veteran

NEW YORK -- As Matt Manning hobbled into the visitors’ clubhouse at Yankee Stadium on crutches, the reality of his situation had already set in. The 25-year-old right-hander missed more than two months of the season with a fractured toe on his right foot after being hit by a comebacker

DETROIT -- Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, whose emergence as a front-line starter has been a critical driver behind Detroit’s improvement over the past month, went on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with an injury to his left index finger, putting the Tigers’ bounceback season and potentially this summer’s trade market

MILWAUKEE -- The sight of Javier Báez grimacing in pain in the batter’s box, having taken a fastball off the base of his left hand, was just about the last thing manager A.J. Hinch needed in Wednesday afternoon’s 6-2 loss to the Brewers. Just as Báez has been heating up

TORONTO -- Nick Maton hit the first home run of the redesigned Rogers Centre, which possibly could’ve been out of the previously designed, bigger outfield. Kerry Carpenter was robbed of a homer to center and hit another 400 feet out to the shadow of the center-field fence. But arguably the

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Prior to the Tigers’ game against the Phillies on Thursday night, the team issued medical updates on several of their Minor League players, including some unfortunate news about top prospect Jackson Jobe.

CHICAGO -- The Tigers are all too familiar with injuries to their young pitchers. Unfortunately, that news got worse for Detroit on Friday. Though there was nothing alarming with Tarik Skubal’s imaging done last week on his left arm, there is now some concern with his injury. The 25-year-old was

MINNEAPOLIS -- The sight of the Twins sending the Tigers to another walk-off loss is becoming all too familiar. So is the sight of another Detroit pitcher leaving with an injury concern. In the case of staff ace and potential trade candidate Tarik Skubal, however, the sight of the lefty

DETROIT -- The stoic reaction from Spencer Torkelson gave no hint that he had just taken an 88 mph pitch off the left side of his head. That’s a credit to the protective helmet and added flap that he has been wearing all season. Still, the flushed look on the

DETROIT -- Tigers right-hander Casey Mize will undergo Tommy John surgery to replace the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, manager A.J. Hinch announced Friday. Mize is expected to have the surgery next week. The rehab process will sideline the former No. 1 overall pick for the rest of
