Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers wrapped up the weekend with a disappointing 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, which marks their second straight defeat and highlights a troubling trend as they slide into the All-Star break. Tarik Skubal, who has been the team's ace, continues to show a relentless work ethic, stating there's no such thing as an All-Star break in his world. Meanwhile, the front office is busy with the 2026 MLB draft, looking to replicate past successes with late-round gems like Skubal and Kerry Carpenter. One bright spot has been Jacob Waguespack, a gamble by Scott Harris that’s surprisingly paying off, adding depth to a team that desperately needs it. As the Tigers sit at 44-51, the focus remains on building a competitive roster for the future while hoping to regain momentum in the second half.
