DETROIT -- The Tigers' disabled list should be getting shorter, sooner rather than later.
After a couple of good days of work, outfielder Andy Dirks could begin a rehabilitation assignment as soon as Sunday night. Dirks has been on the DL since May 31 with right Achilles tendinitis.
"I feel good enough to play right now," Dirks said. "This is by far the best...

He hasn’t hit a home run since the All-Star break, but we’re six games into the season’s second-half and Prince Fielder shows no ill-effects of participating in (and winning) the Home Run Derby. So far he’s hitting for a slash line of .391/.500/.435 in the second half. It’s a small sample size, surely, but if it was the Derby that was going to be the culprit for a post...

DETROIT -- Barely more than one month ago, the Detroit Tigers were five games under .500 and six games back in the American League Central. With the divisions largest payroll and World Series expectations, they were called the most disappointing team in baseball.
Then, it was fair.
Now, it is untrue.
If the Tigers beat the Chicago White Sox Saturday (MLB on FOX, 3:30 p.m. ET)...

The Tigers have been mentioned in pretty much every trade rumor involving a starting pitcher for the better part of a month and a half, but their rotation has taken a big step forward over the past few weeks.
Rick Porcello has tended to be the whipping boy of the rotation amongst Tigers fans. He doesn’t strike out a lot of batters, and it seems like when he’s off, he’s way...

There's a reason Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland downplays Detroit's "showdown series" with the first-place Chicago White Sox this weekend. He should. It's a three-game set and even if one team should sweep the other it will not seriously damage the chances of the other to finish first in the AL Central or be a threat to earn a Wild Card berth. There...

Two-out runs, Jim Leyland likes to say, are golden. Get enough of them, and they also translate into wins. The Tigers had a knack of scoring with two outs last season, especially when they surged to the top of
the AL Central around the All-Star break. They are doing it again. Detroit entered Friday night's 4-2 victory over the first-place Chicago White Sox tied with...

DETROIT (AP) -- Miguel Cabrera's 300th homer cleared the wall in center field with room to spare and sailed toward the ivy at Comerica Park.
That's not the easiest place to retrieve a baseball, but this one should make a nice keepsake.
"Somebody got it. They got it somehow," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "They got in there and got it, and that's his...
