KODY CLEMENS

The Phillies' unique clubhouse was integral to their World Series run. So, why did they just send away two key characters for a volatile reliever?

The Detroit Tigers are finalizing a deal that would send two-time All-Star closer Gregory Soto to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Tigers would send Soto and infielder Kody Clemens to the Phillies in exchange for infielder Nick Maton, outfielder Matt Vierling and catcher Donny Sands. Soto, who turns 28 in February, became the Tigers’ first back-to-back All-Star selection since Miguel Cabrera’s seven-year streak (2010-2016). Infielders (10): Javier Báez, Miguel Cabrera, Ryan Kreidler, Andre Lipcius, Nick Maton, Tyler Nevin, Wenceel Perez, Jonathan Schoop, Zack Short, Spencer Torkelson. Outfielders (6): Akil Baddoo, Kerry Carpenter, Riley Greene, Austin Meadows, Parker Meadows, Matt Vierling.

DETROIT -- Joe Ryan threw six scoreless innings and Minnesota Twins roughed up the Detroit Tigers’ pen en route to a 7-0 victory on Friday night at Comerica Park. The Tigers (63-93) saw their six-game win streak come to an end. Ryan, the Twins’ talented rookie right-hander, struck out eight and issued only one walk. It was his seventh pitching appearance of the season. Box scoreUp nextThe Tigers and Twins meet again on Saturday at 6:10 p.m. Tigers right-hander Drew Hutchison (3-9, 4.54) will face Twins righty Dylan Bundy (8-8, 4.93).

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers put two players on the injured list before Thursday afternoon’s series finale against the Kansas City Royals. But the other one was unexpected: Outfielder Kerry Carpenter felt some lower back tightness after batting practice Wednesday. With only nine games left in the season, the Tigers decided to shut him down. To fill the two roster spots, the Tigers selected the contract of right-handed reliever Miguel Diaz from Triple-A Toledo and recalled infielder Kody Clemens. Carpenter, 25, finishes his rookie season with a .252 average and .752 OPS (128 OPS+) in 113 plate appearances.

DETROIT -- Miguel Cabrera will rejoin the Detroit Tigers after a two-week absence to rest his strained left biceps. Hinch said Cabrera would be reinstated from the injured list before Monday’s series opener at Baltimore against the Orioles. To make room for Cabrera, the Tigers have optioned infielder Kody Clemens to Triple-A Toledo. Clemens, 26, has been with the Tigers since the All-Star break when he was recalled to take the spot of Spencer Torkelson. Infielders (12): Javier Báez, Miguel Cabrera, Jeimer Candelario, Harold Castro, Kody Clemens, Brendon Davis, Luis Garcia, Ryan Kreidler, Josh Lester, Jonathan Schoop, Zack Short, Spencer Torkelson.

Andrew Velazquez scored from third on Magneuris Sierra’s bunt in the 10th inning and the Los Angeles Angels secured their first winning homestand since early May with a 5-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Detroit Tigers infielder Kody Clemens didn’t try to hide his excitement when he struck out reigning MVP and two-way Japanese sensation Shohei Ohtani on Monday night. Clemens, who has served a regular “reliever” in blowout situations this year, had a big grin on his face after recording his first career strikeout. Clemens is the son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens. Ohtani wasn’t feeling too sad after the game. He had a double and two home runs, helping lead the Angels to a 10-0 victory in the series opener.

Detroit Tigers infielder Kody Clemens has the ability to throw hard, but in his part-time role as blowout relief pitcher, he’s been encouraged to loft butterflies at no more than 50 or 60 mph. Through 24 batters faced as a pitcher in 2022, Clemens had never logged a strikeout. The son of one of the greatest pitchers in the game’s history now has his first career strikeout and it came against the reigning MVP. “I’m just trying to get outs, and for it to come like that is obviously super cool,” Clemens told the Associated Press. He had a double and two home runs, helping lead the Angels to a 10-0 victory in the series opener.

Pitching in mop-up duty for the Detroit Tigers, Kody Clemens fanned reigning AL MVP Shohei Ohtani for his first major league strikeout.

Kody Clemens will never catch his father in career strikeouts. The Detroit Tigers' rookie utility player — and son of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens — caught Shohei Ohtani looking late in Monday night's 10-0 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Mopping up in the eighth inning, Clemens froze last year's AL MVP with a 68 mph pitch on the outside corner for his first major league strikeout and gave an exuberant strike three call on the mound.

Shohei Ohtani had his sixth multi-homer game of the season, Mike Trout also went deep and José Suarez threw three-hit ball over seven innings as the Los Angeles Angels routed the skidding Detroit Tigers 10-0.

DETROIT -- The Kansas City Royals homered four times, including a grand slam, in a 12-2 rout of the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night at Comerica Park. The Tigers (51-82) and Royals (54-80) have split the first two games of the weekend series. Royals rookie shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. joined the 20-20 club (20 homers and 20 stolen bases) with a three-run homer in the third inning off Tiger start Michael Pineda. Tigers rookie Ryan Kreidler picked up his first and second career hits on Saturday, an infield single and a bloop to right.

Tigers starter Matt Manning pitched six scoreless innings, striking out eight without a walk. The Tigers entered the fifth inning without having mustered a hit against Giants starter Logan Webb. Victor Reyes had a two-run single; Kody Clemens and Harold Castro contributed RBI singles; and Willi Castro finished the scoring with a two-run double. Clemens took his spot in the lineup and played second base, while Willi Castro shifted from second to short.

Eduardo Rodriguez pitched five shutout innings in his return to the Tigers, helping Detroit to a 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Angels.

Sean Murphy hit a three-run homer to highlight Oakland’s five-run sixth inning that broke up a scoreless game, and the Athletics beat the Detroit Tigers 5-0 to split a doubleheader.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers have added two infielders from Triple-A Toledo as they start the second part of the season on Thursday in Oakland. Additionally, rookie right-hander Garrett Hill has been appointed the 27th man and will start Game 2 of Thursday’s doubleheader. The Tigers were scheduled to play in Oakland early in the season, but the games were postponed due to the ongoing lockout.

Two months after his unexpected demotion, outfielder Akil Baddoo is coming back to the big leagues. Entering Monday, Baddoo had been hitting .438 (21-for-48) with six doubles and three home runs in his last 13 games. Baddoo was selected by the Tigers from the Minnesota Twins in the Rule 5 Draft. He was under no such restriction in 2022 and the Tigers opted to take advantage of their roster flexibility quickly. Outfielders (8): Akil Baddoo, Daz Cameron, Willi Castro, Riley Greene, Robbie Grossman, Derek Hill, Austin Meadows*, Victor Reyes.

CHICAGO -- The Detroit Tigers’ longest win streak of the season came to a frustrating end in a 8-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday afternoon at Guaranteed Rate Field.

DETROIT -- The Toledo Mud Hens have been stocked with once and future Detroit Tigers over the last several days, foreshadowing more moves to come this weekend. Elvin Rodriguez is slated to pitch Friday night when the Tigers open a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.

By this time next week, the Detroit Tigers will likely have five or six new faces -- or, more accurately, old faces -- on the roster. The moves could start as early as Tuesday, when the Tigers open a brief two-game series in Pittsburgh against the Pirates. To make room for Meadows, the Tigers would likely option infielder/outfielder Kody Clemens back to Triple-A Toledo.

There will also be baseball in Grand Rapids (Tigers), Lansing (Oakland Athletics) and Midland (Los Angeles Dodgers). If the lockout ends while the Mud Hens are in the middle of the series, do all those vets just jump ship and head to Lakeland?

He’ll be eligible to be selected all over again unless the Tigers choose to place him on the 40-man roster this week.

The Tigers now have 42 players in big-league camp and are likely to make another round of cuts later this week. Stewart, 27, was selected in the first round (34th overall) out of the University of Tennessee in 2015. He could be vulnerable if the Tigers need a 40-man roster spot later this spring or summer. Manning, 23, was the Tigers’ first round pick (9th overall) in 2016 and was ostensibly fighting for a rotation spot this spring.
