TIGERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Detroit Tigers’ Miguel Cabrera Almost Decked With Foul Ball
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera almost lost a battle with a screaming foul ball off the bat of teammate Matt Tuiasosopo. Cabrera laughed it off playfully but there is no doubt Manager Jim Leyland would have had some choice words for “Big Matt” had he injured the franchise player.

Video: Tigers' Cabrera ducks foul ball
Nobody can get Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera out these days.
Heading into Wednesday night's game in Cleveland, he was batting a whopping .384 with 49 RBIs and 12 homers. He hit three homers in Sunday's loss at Texas, then clobbered another in Tuesday's win at Cleveland.
What opposing pitchers haven't been able to -- knock Cabrera out -- one of his own teammates...

Matt Tuiasosopo nearly takes off Miguel Cabrera’s head with foul ball (VIDEO)
MLB.com Tigers rookie outfielder Matt Tuiasosopo nearly became public enemy number one in Detroit. During Tuesday’s game in Cleveland, he almost took off Miguel Cabrera’s head with a foul ball. And it almost appeared he did it on purpose (we know he didn’t). Tuiasosopo just missed clobbering a Corey Kluber fastball that, judging by Cabrera’s reaction, he thought was a...
The high powered Indians offense again, failed to tame one Tiger by the name of Max Scherzer.
The Cleveland Indians started a 2 game series with the Detroit Tigers last night. They came into the game being able to win the last 5 they played. The Indians offense has done a great job this season as they were able to force extra innings and produced a couple of walk off wins. That wasn’t the case last night. When you think of Detroit Tigers pitching, the first guy that usually...
Barry Bonds: Miguel Cabrera is ‘the absolute best’ . . .but I’m still better
The Detroit Tigers Miguel Cabrera is probably the best player in all of baseball. It is tough to argue with at this very moment. His body of work over the past several seasons cannot be matched by anyone in all of Major League Baseball. Last year, he captured the Triple Crown, the first time anyone had done that in 45 years. This helped him capture the AL MVP award over Mike Trout...
Detroit Tigers Recall Luke Putkonen, Option Evan Reed
The Detroit Tigers have recalled right-handed reliever Luke Putkonen from their Triple-A Toledo minor league affiliate. To make room for Putkonen on the active roster, the Tigers have decided to option right-handed reliever Evan Reed to the same farm club. Look for Putkonen to pitch in the middle innings for the parent club.

Tigers rumors: Detroit ‘looking hard’ for relievers
The Detroit Tigers are concerned enough about their
late-inning relief that they’re still “looking hard” for options on the trade
market, according to Danny Knobler of CBS Sports.
Entering the spring, the Tigers were expected to go with
rookie Bruce Rondon as their closer. His struggles during the exhibition season
resulted in him beginning the year in the minors...
Question of the Week: Do Justin Verlander’s Problems Represent Troublesome Arm Issues?

Is the Detroit Tigers’ ace finally feeling mortal? Lately, he’s certainly looking like it.
For the second start in a row, Justin Verlander was terrible, giving up eight runs and barely making it through one inning as the Tigers were humbled by the Texas Rangers 10-4. That followed up another putrid performance against the Cleveland Indians, which saw Detroit’s...
Detroit Tigers Recall Evan Reed, Option Al Alburquerque
The Detroit Tigers have recalled right-handed pitcher Evan Reed to take the place of Al Alburquerque on the active roster as he was optioned to their Triple-A Toledo minor league affiliate today. This is not a permanent move, but rather a move where the brass would like to see the young reliever regain his command. As soon as he finds it, he should be back up. Reed will pitch middle...
Tigers send Alburquerque to Toledo
While his teammates headed for Texas Wednesday night, Al Alburquerque made a much shorter trip.
Although it wasn't announced until Thursday morning, the Tigers sent Alburquerque to Toledo after he struggled once again to throw strikes in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to Houston.
Jim Leyland, who prides himself on never being negative to the media about one of his players, couldn...

Detroit Tigers Could Only Stand to Benefit With a Strong Showing out of Avisail Garcia
Austin Jackson’s hamstring injury has presented Avisail Garcia and the Detroit Tigers with a big opportunity. (Josh May, Flickr)
Before things get out of hand, let me begin this piece with a simple Detroit Tigers public service announcement. Austin Jackson’s not going anywhere in center field. He’s a solid player who’s continued development will lead to him becoming an everyday...
Tigers place Austin Jackson on DL
Yesterday, the Detroit Tigers held center fielder Austin Jackson out of the lineup for what they called precautionary reasons. Jackson’s
sore hamstring is apparently more of an issue then the team let on, as Detroit
placed the center fielder on the 15-day disabled list earlier today.
The ailment has been hampering Jackson for the last few
weeks, and he told reporters...
Detroit Tigers Disable Austin Jackson, Recall Avisail Garcia
The Detroit Tigers had to place star center fielder Austin Jackson on the 15-day disabled list due to a right hamstring strain. To take his spot, the Tigers have opted to recall outfielder Avisail Garcia from their Triple-A Toledo minor league affiliate. There is no time-table yet set for Jackson returning, although it looks initially like it will take at least those 15 days, if...
Detroit Tigers: bites, gripes, and need to knows
The Detroit Tigers just lost 4 out of 5 games, albeit by a total of just 5 runs. It’s funny how a stretch like this can bring out the ‘Jhonny Peralta has no range’ haters, the ‘Papa Grande has no arsenal’ realists, and the ‘I’m telling you, the Tigers just don’t have what it takes’ buffoons.
Avisail Garcia is back
The Tigers are still a solid 20-15, tied for 1st...
Detroit’s mighty Justin Verlander continues to be clueless, when it comes to stopping the Cleveland Indians.
He is one of the American Leagues most dominant pitchers. Yet, Justin Verlander can’t control the bats in the Cleveland Indians line-up. Each time Verlander faces the Indians, they are able to hit him. Last night was no different. Verlander gave up 4 runs on 6 hits and struggled with control problems. He walked batters and struck out 7. The Tigers lost the game to Cleveland 7-6...
