Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers are facing a tough challenge today as they host the Tampa Bay Rays, fresh off a disheartening 3-0 loss that saw them muster just two singles in a game that was over before it even began. With a recent 1-6 skid, the Tigers' hitting woes have compounded, making their battle for relevance in the AL Central even tougher. Jackson Jobe's recent return shows promise, but it hasn’t helped the offense find its rhythm during this rough stretch. Meanwhile, the front office is making moves, releasing Nick Sandlin and losing Ricky Vanasco to the Braves as they look to reshape the roster. As Troy Melton takes the mound against Freddy Peralta, the Tigers desperately need a spark to ignite a season that feels like it's slipping away.

Tigers Release Nick Sandlin
Right-handed reliever Nick Sandlin was released from the Tigers’ Triple-A affiliate, per the transaction log at MiLB.com. It’s possible the righty had an opt-out provision in his deal, as he’d been pitching pretty well over the past couple months. From 2021-24, Sandlin was a staple in the Guardians’ bullpen. He worked a combined 195 1/3 […]
