Tigers right-hander Troy Melton will miss the start of the 2026 season due to a right elbow strain. Detroit is taking a cautious approach after Melton’s breakout 2025 campaign.

The Detroit Tigers unveiled new orange home and navy road alternate uniforms for the 2026 season, marking one of the boldest visual updates the franchise has made in years. Tradition remains, but Detroit is adding some color to the mix.

A judge has granted former Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore an evidentiary hearing to determine whether key information was omitted from the arrest warrant tied to his December charges. The hearing, scheduled for March 2 in Ann Arbor, will examine claims from Moore’s defense that the magistrate was not provided full context when authorizing the warrant. Moore continues to plead not guilty as the legal process moves forward.

The Tigers stunned fans by bringing Justin Verlander back to Detroit on a one-year deal, reigniting memories of the franchise’s golden era. But this reunion is about more than nostalgia. With unfinished business and one last run at a title, Verlander’s return could define the final chapter of his career.

Tarik Skubal didn’t just win his arbitration case, he rewrote the ceiling. After the Tigers filed at $19 million, an arbitration panel handed Skubal a record $32 million award, a ruling that exposed the limits of baseball’s cost-control system and sent a message across the league.

The Detroit Tigers have made a major splash in free agency, signing left-handed starter Framber Valdez to a three-year, $115 million contract. The move gives Detroit a proven frontline arm and pairs Valdez with Tarik Skubal atop the Tigers’ rotation entering the 2026 season.

Detroit Tigers legend and 1968 World Series MVP Mickey Lolich has passed away at the age of 85. Lolich was one of the most durable and iconic pitchers in franchise history and a central figure in Detroit’s 1968 championship run.

The Boston Red Sox have bolstered their starting rotation by signing left-hander Ranger Suárez, adding a proven, reliable arm with postseason experience as the club looks to strengthen its pitching staff and contend in the AL East.

The Detroit Tigers showed both their ceiling and their flaws in 2025. After leading the AL Central for much of the season, a late collapse, a hard-fought playoff run, and looming roster questions leave Detroit entering 2026 facing major uncertainty.
