[Tigers Data] With RISP, 2 outs, and 2 strikes, pitchers are one pitch away from ending the inning. Tigers have allowed a hit 16.1% of the time. (5th worst in MLB)
[The WARmonger] Max Clark has been stellar in CF since his call-up. He’s at +2 FRV/OAA and +2 DRS in a small sample. Just ONE catchable ball he didn’t get (and that was 5%). This outstanding play will help those stats, but will have to wait for a wall adjustment for the numbers to be final.
[Chris McCosky] AJ Hinch said Kerry Carpenter has been sent to a foot specialist for further evaluation. Not a great sign. Medical report comes out tomorrow
[Will Burchfield] Jackson Jobe: “I just wasn’t good. Let myself down, let the team down. Not a good feeling. There’s no excuse. I’m up here to perform, not to work on stuff or say, ‘Oh, I’m just coming back from TJ.’ The team needed me and I didn’t do my job.” “Gotta be better, and I will be.”
[Cody Stavenhagen] The Tigers have placed James Outman on the 7-day concussion IL after he was hit by a pitch in the face last night. Trei Cruz has been recalled from Triple A
[Thomas Nestico] Josue Briceno (DET) missed the 1st half of the season recovering from wrist surgery, but you could have never guessed that from watching him this season. He has a .947 OPS thus far and currently has the highest average exit velocity of any prospect at 96.5 mph
[Tigers PR] Max Clark and Kevin McGonigle both reached base safely 18+ times in their first 11 career games. Across MLB history, they’re just the second pair of teammates aged 21 or younger to do so in the same season, joining Washington’s Joe Judge and Horace Milan in 1915.
[Cody Stavenhagen] A.J. Hinch said the Tigers think Riley Greene's hamstring strain is mild, but he wouldn't have been able to play in the remainder of this series or this weekend against the White Sox
[Chris McCosky] “I haven’t been doing my job the last two or three weeks. I am trying to find a way to get better.” —Kyle Finnegan who is trying to work through a serious mechanical adjustment in real time in the heat of a playoff chase...
[97.1 The Ticket] Kevin McGonigle on being teammates with Max Clark on the Tigers: “When we were first drafted we were able to text that night and say, ‘Looking forward to sharing the field and playing for a long time together.’ And it’s just the beginning.”
[Tigers PR] Over the last century, Kevin McGonigle is the 12th MLB player to reach base safely 200+ times in his first 113 career games. The exclusive list includes Hall of Famers Joe DiMaggio (1936), Ted Williams (1939), Richie Ashburn (1948), and Lloyd Waner (1927).
[Pitch Profiler] Jackson Jobe returned to the mound tonight with a brand new fastball and many more whiffs! The only “below average” pitch Jobe throws now is his sinker, which is still considerably above average when compared to other sinkers!
[Lynn Henning] Max Anderson, the Tigers' second-round pick in 2023 (45-overall), in his last 13 games at Toledo: .400/.565/.667 for a 1.232 OPS, with three homers, 14 walks, and four strikeouts. He's a decent bet to get a September call-up. Can work at 2B, or, if necessary, 3B.
