SHANE GREENE

Starling Marte singled home the winning run in the ninth inning, and the New York Mets beat the crosstown Yankees 3-2 for a two-game sweep of their Subway Series.

Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 37th home run, fellow All-Star Nestor Cortes pitched six sharp innings and the New York Yankees beat the Baltimore Orioles 6-0.

Yankees reliever Michael King instantly knew something was very wrong. Walking off the mound after a pitch Friday night, the right-hander simply said to manager Aaron Boone: “My elbow.” Boone’s worst fears were realized Saturday when the valuable member of New York's bullpen was ruled out for the season with a fractured right elbow.

Former Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Shane Greene has been designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday thanks to the return of former Tigers pitcher David Price. Green made his first and only appearance of the season with the Dodgers back on Sunday, pitching two scoreless innings of relief in a win over the Phillies. Price ended up second in the Cy Young award voting that season. So far this season, the 36-year-old Price has an ERA of 1.93 in 4.2 innings of work. He finished last season with a 7.23 ERA in 23.2 innings.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers will designate right-handed pitcher Drew Hutchison for assignment prior to Wednesday’s game against the Oakland Athletics, manager A.J. The move is being made to create an active roster spot for left-handed starting pitcher Joey Wentz, who will be recalled from Triple-A Toledo to make his Major League debut. Hutchison had a 4.60 ERA in 15 2/3 innings this year, striking out 15 and walking 12. The 24-year-old has made five starts for Triple-A Toledo, striking out 26 and walking 10 in 19 2/3 innings. TIGERS’ 40-MAN ROSTER (38)Players in bold are on the 26-man rosterLeft-handed pitchers (6): Tyler Alexander*, Andrew Chafin, Eduardo Rodriguez, Tarik Skubal, Gregory Soto, Joey Wentz.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Detroit Tigers have cleared out the last rookie arm left in camp. The Tigers now have 27 pitchers officially remaining in camp, although five of them are not currently active due to injury, visa issues. TIGERS’ SPRING TRAINING ROSTER (52)(non-roster invitees italicized)Left-handed pitchers (6): Tyler Alexander, Andrew Chafin, Miguel Del Pozo, Eduardo Rodriguez, Tarik Skubal, Gregory Soto. **Right-handed pitchers Wily Peralta and Ramon Rosso have not yet arrived at camp. Catcher Jake Rogers and right-handed pitcher Spencer Turnbull are injured and will miss all or most of 2022.

Former Detroit Tigers All-Star closer Shane Greene reportedly signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Greene, 33, signed with the Dodgers in August of 2021 and played nine games before being released in late September. Greene was the Tigers’ lone MLB All-Star selection during the 2019 season, but he was traded to the Atlanta Braves on July 31 of that year. Greene began his career with New York Yankees where he played his first major league season prior to being traded to the Tigers. In his nine-year career, Greene has a record of 23-29 with 67 saves, 437 strikeouts and an ERA of 4.52.

Former Detroit Tigers pitcher Robbie Ray was named the winner of the 2021 American League Cy Young Award on Wednesday night. Ray joins Roy Halladay (2003), Roger Clemens (1997, 1998) and Pat Hentgen (1996) among Toronto Cy Young winners. Ray is the fifth pitcher from that 2014 team to win a Cy Young, joining Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello and David Price. Corbin Burnes of the Milwaukee Brewers edged out Philadelphia Phillies starter Zack Wheeler to win his first Cy Young Award. Burnes is the first Brewers pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in the NL.

AJ Pollock led off the 16th inning with a two-run homer and the streaking Los Angeles Dodgers beat the struggling San Diego Padres 5-3 in by far the longest major league game since pandemic rules were implemented last year.

Online voting began on Thursday afternoon, and the Tigers have a couple of intriguing candidates worthy of consideration. But outfielder Robbie Grossman and third baseman Jeimer Candelario almost certainly lack the star power to win the fan vote. That’s what happened when Joe Jimenez and Shane Greene were chosen as the Tigers’ lone representatives in 2018 and 2019, respectively. So that pathway could open a door for someone like Michael Fulmer or, if he can harness his control, Gregory Soto. TIGER ALL-STARS2020: None2019: RHP Shane Greene2018: RHP Joe Jimenez2017: RHP Michael Fulmer (selected but not on active roster because of pitching assignment); OF Justin Upton (added to roster)2016: Miguel Cabrera (reserve)2015: INF Jose Iglesias, OF J.D.

Austin Riley drove in five runs while hitting two of Atlanta three homers and the Braves capped their impressive power display in the series by beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Detroit Tigers left-handed pitching prospect Joey Wentz will be back on the field with his teammates on Wednesday, 11 months after underdoing Tommy John surgery. Wentz, 23, is “making tremendous progress,” according to Tigers general manager Al Avila. “I’m just excited that he’s making great progress,” Avila said. I’m just excited that he’s making good progress and am hoping for the best there.”The Tigers acquired Wentz and outfielder Travis Demeritte from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for reliever Shane Greene in 2019. He was ranked the Tigers’ eighth-best prospect on MLB Pipeline.

The Detroit Tigers are parting ways with outfielder Travis Demeritte to make room for second baseman Jonathan Schoop, who was re-signed to a one-year deal on Friday. In parts of two seasons with the Tigers, Demeritte hit .217 with a .608 OPS (61 OPS+) in 66 games. A converted infielder, Demeritte played almost exclusively in right field, where he was rated as a subpar defender by most metrics. Feb. 5: Re-signed infielder Jonathan Schoop. TIGERS’ FREE-AGENT SIGNINGSMajor League (4): RHP Jose Urena, OF Robbie Grossman, C Wilson Ramos, IF Jonathan Schoop.

Atlanta Braves players celebrate after defeating the Miami Marlins in Game 3 of a baseball National League Division Series, Thursday, Oct. 8, 2020, in Houston. And even those future Hall of Famers didn't throw the way these Braves have this postseason. Wright (1-0) was sharp despite not pitching since Sept. 25, allowing three hits and walking two with a career-high seven strikeouts. Atlanta became the second team in history to throw four shutouts in the first five playoff games, joining the 1905 New York Giants behind Hall of Famers Christy Mathewson and Joe McGinnity. D’Arnaud knocked a double off the bullpen in right-center to send two home and extend the lead to 3-0.

Smith went into the All-Star Game on Tuesday night well aware his days with the last-place Giants might be dwindling. After the first one, youre kind of numb to it.Fellow All-Star pitchers Marcus Stroman, Shane Greene and Brad Hand also are possible trade targets as the July 31 deadline approaches. The San Diego Padres sent the left-hander to Cleveland just two days after the 2018 All-Star Game, during the break.

CHICAGO – Shane Greene and the Detroit Tigers gifted the struggling White Sox a win in the series opener Tuesday, walking three straight batters to lose an early lead and fall 5-2. The White Sox came into the series looking utterly defeated, but now they're in perfect position to win the series behind ace Chris Sale. Sale beat the Tigers back in mid-April with six two-run innings. A loss Wednesday would hand Detroit its first series loss to an AL Central opponent this season. If they can beat Sale, the Tigers will face Jose Quintana for the series win Thursday afternoon.

CHICAGO – Shane Greene got blasted by the White Sox Tuesday, his third awful start in a row, sending the Tigers to a 5-2 loss. Greene has now allowed 20 earned runs in his last three starts, in which he lasted a total of just 11 innings. As bad as the White Sox have been, Shane Greene came into the game pitching even worse. An RBI groundout and a Conor Gillaspie triple gave the White Sox a 5-2 lead and ended Greene's night. With the loss, the Tigers fell into 2nd place in the AL Central, as the Royals beat the Indians at home.

Entering the game Wednesday, the Tigers are 4-0 in series battles within the division, including four wins in five games against the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota broke a four-game 2015 losing streak to the Tigers Tuesday behind a seven-inning gem from Mike Pelfrey. Shane Greene will lead the bounce back effort, taking the mound for Detroit in the finale. Greene allowed just one earned run in his first three starts, but got rocked by the Indians to the tune of eight runs in four innings Friday. If the Tigers win the rubber match Wednesday, they'll stay perfect in AL Central series, and move to 5-1 in series this season overall.
