Tigers' Javier Baez: Hits second home run in loss
Baez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Baez launched his second home run of the season in the third inning against Cincinnati lefty Andrew Abbott. The veteran utility player continues to see regular playing time split between the middle infield and center field. While Baez's power production is down from earlier in his career, he is at least making solid contact with a .278 batting average, which would be his best mark since 2019.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Enters contest, goes deep in loss
Carpenter went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Carpenter began this game on the bench, with Jahmai Jones getting the start to face Cincinnati lefty Andrew Abbott. The Tigers turned to Carpenter as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning, and he ultimately launched his sixth home run of the season in the eighth. The 28-year-old outfielder is once again providing good pop with an .821 OPS through 24 games, and he's currently on pace to surpass last year's career-high total of 26 home runs if he stays healthy.

Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Blows second save Friday
Jansen (0-1) blew the save and took the loss Friday as the Tigers fell 9-8 to the Reds, giving up two runs on two hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out one.
The two teams took turns putting runs on the board in every inning except the first, and jansen couldn't break that pattern in the ninth while trying to protect an 8-7 lead, allowing a two-out single to Spencer Steer before Nathaniel Lowe belted a walk-off homer. It was jansen's second blown save of the year, but those are the only two times he's been scored upon in nine appearances so far in 2026. On the season, the veteran closer sports a 3.68 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 9:3 K:BB in 7.1 innings with six saves.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Homers again Friday
Greene went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Greene went deep for the second straight game and third time this season. While his power production is below last year's pace, when he homered 36 times during the regular season, Greene is still off to a good start at the plate overall. The outfielder is slashing .295/.396/.474 through 27 games. The batting average and on-base percentage would be new career bests for Greene, as would his .870 OPS.

Tigers' Framber Valdez: Battles control in no-decision
Valdez didn't factor into the decision Friday as the Tigers were downed 9-8 by the Reds, giving up two runs on four hits and five walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out four.
The southpaw got only 47 of his 89 pitches into the strike zone before getting the hook. The five free passes were a season high, but Valdez has issued multiple walks in five straight starts. On the season he sports a 3.41 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB through 34.1 innings, and he faced a tough test in his next outing, scheduled to come on the road next week in Atlanta.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Extends home run streak
Torkelson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 9-8 loss to the Reds.
Torkelson has now homered in three straight contests after not going deep across the first 23 games of the season. The slugger is riding a four-game hitting streak overall, going 5-for-14 with a 1.509 OPS during the surge. Torkelson's overall numbers are still a bit below his usual standards, but he's quickly getting back on track after a slow start to the year.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Goes deep again Thursday
Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Torkelson went without a home run in his first 23 games of the season, but he's now gone deep on consecutive days. The slugger also struck out two more times Thursday, and his strikeout rate is now a tick below 30 percent. Torkelson has always been known as player with plenty of swing-and-miss in his game who can also hit homers in bunches, and that seems to be the case once again in 2026.

Tigers' Riley Greene: Hits second home run in win
Greene went 2-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Brewers.
Greene got the scoring started for the Tigers in the first inning with his second home run of the season with a runner on and two outs. The outfielder has a strong .289/.396/.444 slash line through 26 games this year, though his power production has been lagging after he popped 36 long balls during the 2025 regular season. Greene said he was focusing on improved contact in spring training after striking out a team-record 201 times last year, and it's possible that he's trading in some homers for a better batting average and on-base percentage.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Stumbles in the seventh
Skubal did not factor into the decision Thursday against the Brewers, allowing four runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out five over six innings.
Skubal held Milwaukee to just one run in his first six innings but ran into trouble in the seventh, when he allowed three straight hits without recording an out. It's just the second time this season that Skubal's given up more than one earned run in a start. His ERA sits at 2.72 with a 0.99 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB across six outings (36.1 innings). Skubal tentatively lines up to face Atlanta on the road his next time out.

Tigers' Justin Verlander: Feels good after latest bullpen
Manager A.J. Hinch said Verlander's (hip) bullpen session Wednesday was "encouraging," Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
"I think the last time I tried to really step on it, I don't want to say it was a full step back, but it didn't respond the way I wanted or that anybody wanted," Verlander said. "So that was disappointing. After yesterday, it didn't do that, which is good. It's taken a little longer than I think we expected, which is frustrating." Verlander has missed his last four turns through the rotation due to inflammation in his left hip, and it hasn't responded the way he'd hoped after he was initially believed to require only a minimum stint on the injured list. Verlander is expected to need at least one more bullpen session and a rehab start before making his return to Detroit's rotation.

Tigers' Casey Mize: Punches out seven in second win
Mize (2-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out seven.
Mize was outstanding Wednesday, scattering three singles over six strong frames. Not only is the right-hander already up to three quality starts in 2026, but he's also worked at least 5.2 innings while giving up one or no runs in four of his five outings to begin the season. Mize is pushing his way into must-roster fantasy territory, producing an impressive 2.51 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over 28.2 frames, but he does have a tough test in Atlanta on tap for his next start.

Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Secures save despite shaky outing
Jansen worked around a hit and two walks to pitch a scoreless inning and secure the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Brewers. He struck out one.
Jansen was probably fortunate to have a three-run lead, as he got some traffic on the bases in the ninth inning but ultimately shut things down for his sixth save of the year in seven chances. The veteran reliever has a sparkling 1.35 ERA and has struck out eight batters across 6.2 innings so far. Even at the age of 38, Jansen continues to look like an effective MLB closer, and the Tigers seem comfortable with him in that role moving forward.

Tigers' Kerry Carpenter: Tees off in win
Carpenter went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Brewers.
Carpenter launched his fifth home run of the season in the eighth inning, and he's starting to heat up after a slow start to the year. The 28-year-old has three long balls across his last eight games, and he's batting .263 during that stretch. Carpenter was hitting just .200 with two home runs in 14 games before the recent power surge. He clubbed a career-high 26 homers during the 2025 regular season, and the outfielder remains a great offensive threat against right-handed pitching.
