Kevin McGonigle is the first Tigers left-handed hitter in franchise history to have 11 doubles before the start of May. He's also now reached base in 25 straight games that he's started, the longest such streak by a Tigers rookie since Ricky Peters in 1980 (26 games).

Casey Mize (right groin tightness) and Javier Báez (right ankle injury) will get MRIs before Wednesday's game to determine the severity of their injuries.

Ty Madden started tonight for Toledo, so, at least from a timing standpoint, he would make sense as a potential Casey Mize replacement. His velocity is down fairly significantly though, and he hasn’t been very efficient. Threw 73 pitches in just 2.2 innings tonight.

Parker Meadows was in the clubhouse. He is in Atlanta to see the doctor and get the cast off and stitches removed from his forearm.

Not even May 1st and we’re already missing:
Reese Olson
Troy Melton
Jackson Jobe
Justin Verlander
Casey Mize
Parker Meadows
Zach McKinstry
Javy Báez
Maybe more.

Tigers Medical update:

15 of Riley’s 17 RBIs and 12 of Dillon’s 19 RBIs are with 2 outs.
 
Tigers get 2 on and Greene and Dingler fail to drive them in.
Both K badly.
 
What's happened to Skubal .
Just throws a meat pitch for a 2 run homer :(

Approaching 20 pitches with 2 outs.
 
Tigers Hire Kyle Hendricks As Special Assistant.
MLBTR

Tigers Place Casey Mize, Javier Báez On Injured List.
MLBTR

Tigers call up unsavory replacements after official Casey Mize, Javy Báez injury news.
Not ideal.
MCBTB

Injuries to Casey Mize, Javy Báez have the Tigers in a tight spot.
With the Tigers minor league depth already banged up, these injuries are poorly timed.
BYBTB

Tigers place Casey Mize and Javier Báez on IL; De Jesus, Jung called up. Paywall.

Tigers tie game up with a hit and a wild pitch after some runners got on . 2-2
 
It's ridiculous they called up Dejesus and Jung when other players deserve it more. I do not understand Harris.
Workman can play shortstop. Why not give him a shot ?
 
This freaking pen just is bad.
28 pitches. Kyle gets out of it.
With runners at 1st and 2nd.
 
I bet this isn’t the time
to suggest an extension for Jansen
 
Jansen should be let go.
He has no variation on any of his top pitches.
Where the **** did Harris find this clown ?

Lost like 9 or 10 in a to Atlanta.
 
Does anyone else remember the game we played last year, when Jansen came in and gave up about 5 runs, and turned it into a blowout win for the Tigers? I have been reminded of that about half the time so far, the only difference being that three games turned into walkoffs before the opposing team had a chance to run the numbers up that high.
 
What a waste. As the tigers pen waste a Skubal start.
So if we had a decent closer we could be 18-13 instead of
15-16.

Seems like every relief pitcher we have walks a batter.
All Jansen does is throw pitches right down the middle.
