MATT MANNING

This will be the first meaningful offseason for the Detroit Tigers in half a decade, as the team hopes to take another leap from surprisingly competitive to legitimate playoff contender.

CHICAGO -- Matt Manning’s second-to-last start of the 2021 season gnawed at him for five days. On Sept. 27 in Detroit, Manning allowed six runs on four hits and five walks in 3 1/3 innings. That’s why it’s a good bet that he’ll be a member of the Detroit Tigers rotation at the start of next season. He’s had good days and bad days during his rookie season, but he’s rarely been overmatched. The case against penciling him in for a rotation spot is more direct: His 2021 season, taken as a whole, was not very good.

CHICAGO -- The Detroit Tigers squandered a four-run lead and a dominant pitching performance by Matt Manning, falling to the Chicago White Sox 5-4 on Saturday night at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Tigers (76-85) and White Sox (93-68) will finish the regular season on Sunday, although the game no longer has any significance. The White Sox lost any chance of securing home-field advantage for their Division Series matchup when the Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics. With the theft of second, Grossman now has 20 steals, 20 doubles and 20 home runs on the season. BOX SCOREUp next: The Tigers wrap up the 2021 regular season on Sunday at 3:10 p.m. against the White Sox.

If the Detroit Tigers are serious about competing for a playoff spot next season, the question isn’t whether or not they need to sign a starting pitcher in free agency, but rather, how many they should sign.

Carlos Rodón was pulled after three rocky innings and the Chicago White Sox, closing in on the AL Central title, squandered a three-run lead in a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers overcame an early three-run deficit to beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Monday night at Comerica Park. Tigers starter Matt Manning gave up three runs in the third inning on a couple of hits, a walk and a hit batter. But the Tigers answered back immediately in the bottom of the inning against White Sox starter Carlos Rodon. The Tigers scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth against reliever Craig Kimbrel. BOX SCOREUp next: If the rain holds off, the Tigers will face the White Sox at 1:10 p.m. on Tuesday.

Toronto left-hander Robbie Ray leads the majors with 233 strikeouts, tops the AL with a 2.64 ERA and is 12-5 going into this start at Tampa Bay.

Eric Haase and Dustin Garneau each hit solo home runs as the Tigers beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-0 Sunday afternoon at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Tigers (72-78) split the four-game series with the first-place Rays (92-58) and went 4-3 against them in the season series. Powerful connections presented by @xfinity pic.twitter.com/vHNnaQYb7H — Detroit Tigers (@tigers) September 19, 2021Tigers starter Wily Peralta pitched seven shutout innings, allowing just three hits. BOX SCOREUp next: The Tigers return to Detroit for their final homestand of the season beginning on Monday at 6:40 p.m. against the Chicago White Sox. Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (4-6, 5.75 ERA) will face White Sox lefty Carlos Rodon (12-5, 2.38).

The Detroit Tigers certainly appear to be trending in the right direction, and this entire rebuild has centered around starting pitching. But beyond Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal, who will be part of the staff next season?

Dustin Garneau homered and drove in two runs, rookie Matt Manning combined with the bullpen on a three-hitter and the Detroit Tigers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Wednesday to complete a two-game sweep.

DETROIT -- In a short homestand against two of the best teams in baseball, the Detroit Tigers have more than held their own. Dustin Garneau homered and Matt Manning pitched six strong inning as the Tigers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Wednesday afternoon at Comerica Park. The Tigers (70-76) swept the two-game series against the Brewers (89-57) after taking two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays earlier in the homestand. Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff retired the first 11 batters of the game, but the Tigers broke through with two outs in the fourth. Tigers starter Matt Manning allowed just one run on two hits in six innings, striking out six.

Derek Hill hit a leadoff RBI double in the 11th inning, giving the Detroit Tigers a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.

Miguel Cabrera and Robbie Grossman had four hits apiece as the Detroit Tigers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-1 on Wednesday night at PNC Park. The Tigers (66-75) salvaged one win from the three-game series against the Pirates (50-90), who were seeking their first sweep of the season. Grossman and Cabrera -- batting third and fourth in the lineup -- stole the show, going a combined 8-for-9. After finishing Tuesday night with three consecutive base hits, Cabrera now has a career-high seven consecutive hits. Tigers starter Matt Manning was hit by a hard ground ball on the left knee on the final play of the third inning.

The Detroit Tigers lost a lead for the second day in a row, falling to the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 Tuesday night at PNC Park. The Pirates (50-89) entered the series on a six-game losing streak but have now won two in a row against Detroit (65-75). The Tigers also got the lead-off man on in the ninth inning when Harold Castro slapped a single to left. But reliever Chris Stratton once again retired three in a row to close out the game. BOX SCOREUp next: The Tigers wrap up their three-game series in Pittsburgh on Wednesday at 6:35 p.m. Tigers rookie right-hander Matt Manning (3-6, 6.29 ERA) will face Pirates righty Mitch Keller (4-10, 6.23).

Jed Lowrie hit a three-run homer in the first inning for the first of Oakland’s eight two-out runs against Matt Manning in the Athletics’ 8-6 victory over the Tigers on Thursday.

DETROIT -- The Oakland Athletics jumped on Detroit Tigers rookie starter Matt Manning early and fought off a late rally in a 8-6 victory Thursday afternoon at Comerica Park. The Athletics (74-60) took two of three from the Tigers (63-72) this week and won the season series 6-1. It was the second-longest Tigers’ home run in 2021, trailing Akil Baddoo’s 450-foot shot in Houston in April. pic.twitter.com/7dXUep6NfT — Detroit Tigers (@tigers) September 2, 2021The Tigers scored five in the seventh, thanks to a two-run homer by Baddoo and a three-run shot by Jeimer Candelario. The Tigers brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth after Robbie Grossman drew a one-out walk.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers designated veteran pitcher Erasmo Ramirez for assignment before Friday’s series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays. Ramirez, the first player born in Nicaragua to pitch for the Tigers, signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers prior to spring training. He went 1-1 with a 5.74 ERA in 26 2/3 innings with the big-league club, walking five and striking out 20. But he got a late-season invite to the Tigers’ alternate training site in 2020 and then impressed new manager A.J. The Tigers will activate right-handed pitcher Jose Ureña to start Saturday’s game.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd could make his first start in 77 days on Sunday at Comerica Park. Boyd was excellent on Tuesday night in his final rehab start for Triple-A Toledo, retiring 13 batters in a row after giving up a lead-off single. “He was being very pitch-efficient, punched some guys out and did a nice job of taking the next step for his rehab,” Hinch said. Boyd will meet up with the Tigers when they return to Detroit on Friday before a final decision is made. The Tigers wrap up their five-game road trip with a game on Wednesday afternoon at St. Louis against the Cardinals.

The Tigers (58-65) went 1-5 on the homestand while the Angels (62-61) are back above .500 for the first time in 10 days. The Tigers built a 10-2 lead, knocking Angels starter Jose Quintana out of the game in the second inning. Cabrera didn’t hit his 500th home run, but did single and score in the first inning and then hit a bases-clearing double in the second. Although Cabrera didn’t go deep, Zack Short, Jeimer Candelario and Willi Castro all hit solo home runs for the Tigers. Hinch was ejected in the fifth inning after Tigers catcher Dustin Garneau was called for interference following a lengthy argument and video review.

Shohei Ohtani hit his 40th homer and pitched eight sharp innings, helping the Los Angeles Angels beat Miguel Cabrera and the Detroit Tigers 3-1.

Miguel Cabrera is heading back to Detroit for what should be the Tigers' most anticipated homestand in a while.

BALTIMORE -- Miguel Cabrera watched from the dugout as his teammates, including two countrymen, took care of business Thursday afternoon at Camden Yards. The Detroit Tigers beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-4 to complete a three-game sweep. The Tigers play a three-game series with the Indians beginning Friday night in Detroit. Orioles ace John Means held the Tigers scoreless through three innings, but faltered in a five-run fourth. pic.twitter.com/tcvFI6jMpk — Detroit Tigers (@tigers) August 12, 2021Robbie Grossman added a solo home run in the fifth.

BALTIMORE -- Casey Mize won’t start on his normal scheduled day on Sunday at Comerica Park. In fact, there’s about to be a new normal for Detroit Tigers rookies Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal. That means Mize might pitch every sixth, seventh or eighth day instead of every fifth day. If all goes well, Mize and Skubal can pitch to the finish line without being shut down due to workload limitations. In addition to Mize and Skubal, the Tigers will watch Manning’s workload closely, although he hasn’t thrown as many innings as the two other rookies.

Miguel Cabrera hit his 499th career home run, part of a three-hit night for the Detroit slugger that helped the Tigers hand the Baltimore Orioles their seventh straight loss, 5-2.

DETROIT -- Starting pitcher Matt Manning was pounded for six runs and 10 hits as the Cleveland Indians beat the Detroit Tigers 6-1 Friday night at Progressive Field. After navigating two scoreless innings, the Indians scored four in the third, thanks to doubles by Ernie Clement, Jose Ramirez and Bobby Bradley. Hill was nursing a sore foot after smacking a foul ball off his leg in the second inning. Indians starter Cal Quantrill pitched seven scoreless innings, striking out a career-high 10 batters. Up next: The Tigers and Indians meet again on Saturday at 7:10 p.m. Tigers lefty Tyler Alexander (1-1, 4.77 ERA) will face Indians right-hander Eli Morgan (1-3, 6.75).

The Detroit Tigers are off to a strong start in August after completing three straight months with winning records.

Tigers starter Matt Manning got into trouble in the sixth inning, walking two batters to load the bases with one out. The Tigers loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth inning when Orioles reliever Tanner Scott walked two batters and hit another. Up next: The Tigers and Orioles wrap up their four-game series on Sunday at 1:10 p.m. Tigers lefty Tyler Alexander (1-1 4.80 ERA) will face Baltimore right-hander Spenser Watkins (2-1, 3.10).

Seven starts into his big-league career, Detroit Tigers rookie pitcher Matt Manning is showing real progress. He’s learning on the job, much as Casey Mize and Tarik Skubal did one year ago. The 23-year-old has shown an openness to experimentation under the tutelage of pitching coach Chris Fetter that has already paid dividends. But now he’s catching up, and facing some of the same hurdles that Mize and Skubal endured a year ago. “The curveball last night was the best he’s had since he’s been a big-leaguer.

Can you help us settle a little newsroom debate? Which Detroit sports team will have the best winning percentage next season?

Monday’s series opener against the Minnesota Twins was a disappointing one for the Detroit Tigers, as they lost their eighth straight road game and fourth straight game overall.

Max Kepler’s RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning against All-Star closer Gregory Soto gave the Minnesota Twins a 6-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers have four players in Baseball America’s newest ranking of the game’s top 100 prospects. Prep pitcher Jackson Jobe, selected by the Tigers with the No. “Jobe’s fastball/slider combo piled up strikeouts and eye-popping spin rates last summer and this spring,” Baseball America said. “He joins a Tigers’ pitching group that has recently shown it can produce big league starters.”The other three Tigers in the listing are infielder Spencer Torkelson (6th), outfielder Riley Greene (7th) and right-handed pitcher Matt Manning (67th). Torkelson has held steady since January, when he was ranked No.

Daniel Lynch pitched eight scoreless, Jorge Soler homered twice and Salvador Perez once to lead the Kansas City Royals to a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.

Shohei Ohtani hit his major league-leading 35th home run and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 6-2.

For the first time since he joined the Detroit Tigers last month, Matt Manning showed some genuinely encouraging signs Wednesday in his win over the Texas Rangers.

DETROIT -- Will Spencer Turnbull be back in time for the Detroit Tigers’ playoff run in 2022? Will there even be a playoff run in 2022 without Turnbull in the mix? But there’s little doubt that the Tigers’ recent success has rekindled hopes of serious contention as early as 2022. Now he’ll miss the rest of the 2021 season and very likely all (or almost all) of the 2022 season. The frustrating thing is we lose a really good pitcher.”Today, the foundation of the 2022 rotation has three pitchers, one fewer than planned: Casey Mize, Tarik Skubal and Matthew Boyd.

DETROIT -- After a two-week break, Matt Manning will be back in the Detroit Tigers’ starting rotation. The Tigers plan to recall the 23-year-old right-hander prior to Wednesday night’s game against the Texas Rangers. To make room for Manning, the Tigers optioned right-handed reliever Alex Lange to Toledo following Tuesday night’s game. Lange, 25, was recalled three days ago for his third stint with the big-league club when Jose Ureña was placed on the injured list.

DETROIT -- A lengthy rain delay couldn’t dampen the Detroit Tigers’ hot streak.

The Detroit Tigers lost another starting pitcher to injury this weekend, opening a new hole in an already decimated rotation. Will they look to the minor leagues, free agency or even the trade market to fill that vacancy?

DETROIT -- Wily Peralta has been the Detroit Tigers’ best starting pitcher over the last four weeks. After struggling starter Jose Ureña went on the injured list on Saturday, the Tigers’ rotation is even more thin. The Tigers do have five starters, but there are some caveats:* Peralta, who threw 7 scoreless innings in Sunday’s victory, has no restrictions. In five starts since June 26, Peralta has allowed just one earned run in 26 2/3 innings of work. It’s just the fifth time in Tigers’ history that a pitcher has gone five starts having allowed one unearned run or fewer.

Cole Hamels, a veteran starting pitcher who has spent 15 season in MLB, is planing to return to the mound this season. I think the Detroit Tigers should give him a call.

The Detroit Tigers optioned rookie right-hander Matt Manning to Triple-A Toledo following his start on Friday. Manning can be recalled again on July 19 to make his next scheduled start after the All-Star break. The move will create space for the Tigers to activate veteran lefty Derek Holland from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Manning, 23, went 1-3 with a 6.95 ERA in five starts since being called up from Toledo three weeks ago. Left-handed pitchers (9): Tyler Alexander, Matthew Boyd*, Miguel Del Pozo, Derek Holland, Ian Krol, Daniel Norris, Tarik Skubal, Gregory Soto, Joey Wentz.

Rookie starter Matt Manning didn’t give up his first hit until the fifth inning but the Minnesota Twins scored four runs in the sixth to beat the Detroit Tigers 4-2 on Friday night at Target Field in Minneapolis. The Twins (37-50) have taken the first two games of the four-game series against the Tigers (40-49). Tigers starter Tarik Skubal also didn’t allow a hit through exactly 4 1/3 innings on Thursday, marking the first time since 2018 that rookie pitchers had accomplished that feat on back-to-back nights. In the sixth, Manning exited after allowing a hit and a walk. Up next: The Tigers and Twins meet again on Saturday at 2:10 p.m. Right-hander Bailey Ober (1-1, 4.85 ERA) will start for the Twins.

The Detroit Tigers seem to have struck gold with the addition of Wily Peralta to the starting rotation, but is his emergence real, or will it all come crashing down?

The Detroit Tigers are 29-22 since May 8, which is the best two-month stretch (by far) since 2016. Although it would be hard, almost impossible, to envision a scenario in which the Tigers would trade Torkelson, let’s address it as a hypothetical. Torkelson is playing some third base now, but will probably end up as a first baseman in the big leagues. If Torkelson just hits well in the big leagues, he will have a nice career like C.J. So maybe the Tigers would be tempted to listen if a team offered a package of players for Torkelson.

Detroit won the final two games of the series for its first series win over the White Sox since Sept. 3-5, 2018. Tigers reliever Gregory Soto was forced to change his glove before pitching the ninth inning with a 6-2 lead. Harold Castro hit an RBI single in the second, and Baddoo hit a two-run double for a 4-0 lead. Chicago closed in the third on Abreu’s RBI single and García’s sacrifice fly. UP NEXTWhite Sox: RHP Dylan Cease (7-3, 3.75) is scheduled to start Monday’s series opener at Minnesota against RHP Bailey Ober (0-1, 5.84), the last stop on a nine-game trip.

The Detroit Tigers have played above-average baseball for the last seven weeks, something that hasn’t happened since 2016. But don’t let the euphoria overshadow the fact that this could be a long, tough summer. Julio Teheran should be back at some point this summer, although his usefulness after such a long injury layoff remains to be seen. He won’t become Mize or Skubal overnight, but Mize and Skubal didn’t become Mize and Skubal overnight, either. There may even be times when the Tigers feel closer to the dismal summer of 2019 than the optimism of 2022.

CLEVELAND -- Detroit Tigers pitching prospect Matt Manning got his first strikeout in his debut and earned his first win in his second start five days ago. Manning allowed nine runs on nine hits in 3 2/3 inning as the Cleveland Indians stomped the Detroit Tigers 13-5 at Progressive Field. The Indians had 19 hits, including three each by Cesar Hernandez, Amed Rosario, Jose Ramirez and Harold Ramirez. It was clear by that point that Jose Ramirez would be Manning’s final batter. Tigers right-hander Jose Ureña (2-8, 6.00 ERA) will face Cleveland right-hander J.C. Mejia (1-2, 4.94).

In his masterpiece against the Houston Astros this weekend, Tarik Skubal showed the Detroit Tigers that he has the potential to be a future ace. Matt Manning, on the other hand, has some major red flags.

Robbie Grossman’s squeeze bunt in the 10th inning drove in the winning run and the Detroit Tigers won a duel of small ball, beating the Houston Astros 2-1 for a split of their four-game series.

Nelson Cruz hit a three-run homer shortly after Cleveland right fielder Josh Naylor was carted off the field following a frightening collision with a teammate, and the Minnesota Twins went beat the Indians 8-2.

Daniel Norris, 23, posted a 2.73 ERA while striking out 38 batters in 29 innings over five brilliant starts in September. “I think the future of this team is centered around the pitching” said Tigers manager A.J. And I think we’ve shown on this team that when our starting pitching gives us a chance to win, we’ve played a lot better baseball. How will we be talking about this next trio of Tigers’ pitching prospects in 2026? The Tigers hope to soon open a new one, with their young pitching prospects leading the way.

The Detroit Tigers are on a relative roll, winning three straight games for the second time in a 10-day stretch.

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers pitching prospect Matt Manning took home the victory in his first start at Comerica Park. The 23-year-old right-hander pitched into the sixth inning as the Tigers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2 on Wednesday afternoon. The Tigers (32-42) won swept the brief, two-game series with the Cardinals (36-38) and have now won three in a row. Reliever Gregory Soto entered the game and struck out Matt Carpenter to end the frame. Up next: The Tigers open a four-game series with the Houston Astros on Thursday at 7:10 p.m. Tigers right-hander Jose Ureña (2-7, 5.79 ERA) will face Astros right-hander Luis Garcia (5-4, 2.82).

When Miguel Cabrera tossed a keepsake baseball from Matt Manning’s first Major League strikeout into the seats behind the home dugout at Angel Stadium, he got plenty of teasing from his teammates. “I told Miggy he’d have to give the fan whatever the fan wanted: Signed bat, signed ball, signed jersey, whatever,” Hinch said. One ball was removed from play after Manning’s first pitch of the game, and Hinch said that might have confused Cabrera. “In the world of Miggy being Miggy, I think he kind of lost (track),” Hinch said. “I think Miggy had forgotten this was going to be first strikeout.”

I hope there’s more after that.”The Tigers did, in fact, get the ball back after executing a trade with the fan. It’s a long wait to pitch in a night game and it’s been a long few days of anticipation since he learned he would be making his debut. It was late and I actually fell asleep on him (Wednesday night),” Manning said. Hinch wanted to ensure that his debut ended on a good note. Manning said he relied on his bread-and-butter, and the Tigers wanted to keep the game plan straightforward for his debut.

Shohei Ohtani yielded five hits and a run over six strong innings, and Taylor Ward hit his first career grand slam in the Los Angeles Angels’ 7-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

Up next: The Tigers and Angels meet again on Friday at 9:38 p.m. Tigers right-hander Jose Ureña (2-6, 5.16 ERA) will face Angels righty Alex Cobb (4-2, 4.98).

Manning, a 23-year-old who the Tigers selected with the ninth overall pick in 2016, was the last of the three to arrive. While Mize and Skubal were fighting to get on track in April, Manning was patiently waiting for the Triple-A season to begin. “I think there were a lot of good innings in between a lot of not-so-good ones,” he said. But if things go the way the Tigers hope, Manning has pitched his last game for the Mud Hens. They hope that, much like Mize and Skubal, Manning is here to stay.

Left-handed pitcher Miguel Del Pozo’s roughly 24-hour stint as a member of the Detroit Tigers active roster came to an end without him throwing a single pitch. Del Pozo was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Wednesday’s game so the Tigers could promote rookie Matt Manning to start on Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels. Manning, 23, was selected by the Tigers in the first round (9th overall) of the 2016 MLB Draft. Manning got off to a slow start in Toledo, posting an 8.07 ERA in 32 1/3 innings.

The moves came after the Tigers used nine pitchers in Monday night’s victory in Kansas City.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers optioned right-handed pitcher Beau Burrows to Triple-A Toledo after Saturday’s 15-2 loss to the Chicago White Sox. After giving up four baserunners, Burrows struck out back-to-back batters before starting to feel effects of the heat and illness.

Drafted No. 9 overall in 2016, Detroit Tigers righty Matt Manning has climbed the farm system's ladder. He is closing in on his MLB debut.

Tork is going to West Michigan. Most of the Detroit Tigers minor-league affiliates released their Opening Day rosters on Thursday, including the Class A (advanced) West Michigan Whitecaps, the Double-A Erie SeaWolves and the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. Some players assigned the Tigers’ alternate site have spent April in Toledo; the rest have been going through a “minor-league spring training” in Lakeland. A number of veterans will be in Toledo, including pitchers Wily Peralta, Erasmo Ramirez and Ian Krol and infielder Renato Nunez. Right-handed pitcher Franklin Perez, once the organization’s top prospect, will also be in West Michigan as he attempts to restart his career after battling injuries.

Affiliates of the Detroit Tigers released their minor league rosters Thursday, revealing destinations for Spencer Torkelson, Riley Greene and others.

DETROIT -- The Toledo Mud Hens don’t start until May, but there will still be baseball games in Toledo. The Detroit Tigers will use Toledo as their “alternate” site in April, using the same system that was employed in the shortened 2020 season. If the Tigers need reinforcements, they can dip into the pool of players staying in shape in Toledo. Most but not all of the players who participated in Major League spring training last month in Lakeland will be coming to Toledo. The Tigers released a roster of 142 players for the minor-league phase of spring training.

DETROIT – Even though a playoff race isn’t in the cards for the Detroit Tigers this season, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about this team ahead of Opening Day. READ: Meet all 26 members of the Tigers’ rosterWe came up with 22 questions we can’t wait to learn the answers to over the coming months. Nobody knew who he was when the Tigers selected him in the Rule 5 draft, mostly because he missed the entire 2020 season and hasn’t played above High-A ball. An underrated part of the shortened 2020 season was Soto’s hot start. Daniel Norris #44 of the Detroit Tigers delivers a pitch against the Minnesota Twins during the game at Target Field on September 22, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Scherzer will make his Nationals-record sixth opening day start April 1, facing the New York Mets in Washington. The original lineup released by Washington before the game featured a designated hitter; that was revised to include Scherzer batting for himself. DeGrom struck him out, part of his 4 2/3 scoreless innings with three hits and five Ks. YANKEES 8, BLUE JAYS 3Gerritt Cole struck out eight in five innings, allowing one run in his fourth spring start for New York. BRAVES 11, RAYS 1Atlanta starter Max Fried gave up three hits and struck out five over six innings.

Major League Baseballs number one draft pick Spencer Torkelson #73 of the Detroit Tigers takes batting practice during the Detroit Tigers Summer Workouts at Comerica Park on July 4, 2020 in Detroit, Michigan. DETROIT – The preseason prospect rankings for 2021 were released Thursday night, and the Detroit Tigers stole the show with five players ranked among the top 25 prospects in the league.
