Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers managed to mount an impressive late-inning comeback, toppling the Minnesota Twins 11-6, but that victory can't mask the deeper issues lurking beneath the surface. With a lackluster 2-5 record over the last week and a troubling run differential of -26, this team is clutching at straws. Adding to the frustration, Burch Smith's season appears over after shoulder surgery, leaving the pitching staff even thinner. Meanwhile, Casey Mize's struggles with the Padres signal that the Tigers should think twice before considering a reunion in the offseason. As they bask in fleeting moments of triumph, it's clear that the Tigers face dire needs this winter, particularly in bolstering a shaky roster that has outscored opponents yet still finds itself floundering in the AL Central.

A recovery timeline hasn’t been provided but it seems fair to conclude Smith’s season is done. It’s unclear what impact, if any, this will have on his readiness for 2027. He is already on the 60-day […]
