Kevin McGonigle is getting his first Tigers bobblehead. The rookie’s first home run is the subject of the new figure from FOCO. The bobbleheads are $80 and are limited to just 126. This is the mockup image from FOCO:

Max Clark’s first 14 AAA games:.352 AVG | 8 2B | 12 R | 6 SB | .439 OBP

Here's why Tigers haven't called up red-hot Clark ... yet.

The Future of Tigers Pitching is in Lakeland? 88 minutes.
Brandon, Chris and Rogelio recap the sweep of the Tigers and Marlins series and Toledo's offense comes alive at just the right time.

Enjoy 4 minutes of Kevin McGonigle being the best SS in baseball so far in 2026:

AJ Hinch reveals delayed Justin Verlander timeline, but Tigers fans shouldn’t panic.
Sometimes patience is the play.

So the rookie gives a great at bat and I get it Dingler is one of our better hitters but why not work the count. ? It’s not like he is dealing.
Dingler hacks at first pitch with 2 Runners on and grounds into a double play. Had a chance to get his pitch count up . Shame.

Holy hell that was a terrible throw to second by Fv….Valdez keeps giving up singles. Just like at a Minnesota he is not Not very sharp.
Bases loaded.
Had Jensen 1-2 and now it’s full.
Fielders choice out at 2nd. Trail 1-0 . Nice play by Tork.
5-3 to end the inning.

Man these at bats are awful. Guess we struggle in the division so far.
 
FV has had two really sharp innings. Can this offense get him some runs.
 
Tigers get a runner to 3rd. Dingler moves him to 3rd .
Perez BB.
Greene had hitters count but grounds out to 2nd. Fails to drive runners in.
 
Valdez is a terrible fielder but that runner was way off the line and was called out. .

Come on hitters Get him some runs.
 
(Ragans has walked 4).

Tigers 5th
Tork BB
Baez popout ss.
Mckinstry 4-6-3 DP

Man we just stink against leftys. 4 walks plenty of good hitters counts. 0 runs.
 
Tigers 6th
Torres F-8
Vierling 5-3
Kevin 4-3


Our right handed hitters are just poor.
Torres, Vierling, Perez , Jones, Tork. . Only Dingler and Beaz are doing much. We need some homers from Tork badly.
 
Heading to Bottom 7th . Trail 1-0.

Dingler infield single
Perez popout 2nd.
Greene 0-2, 1-2 K'S LOOKING.
Tork BB
Baez (0-2) 5-3


Perez is just terrible not even productive at bat.
Tigers strand 2 more runners.

Dingler double rbi (2-1) tigers.

I think Perez is now 0-11 or thereabouts.

We really sat Colt and Carp because a scary lefty was on the mound again????? I thought we went all in with analytics. Didn’t any of these nerds tell dipshit AJ that Ragans has reverse splits and lefties have been much better against him his whole career?
