The Tigers face a quiet issue in need of some nervous decisions: How to resolve a 40-man roster crunch ahead of 2027

There will be some inevitable high-profile goodbyes -- and add-ons -- among players and prospects, with many of those decisions resting on how select Tigers perform the rest of an erratic 2026 season.

Tigers Intelligence Report w/Lynn Henning

Corbin Carroll is now 13 for 17 in his career with the bases loaded. To put that into perspective, he could go hitless in his next 119 AB’s with the bases loaded and still have a higher career average in that situation than Spencer Torkelson.

Kevin McGonigle is currently on pace for a 9.0 bWAR rookie season. The only rookie position player with a higher bWAR season in the last 50+ years is Mike Trout, who put up 10.5 bWAR in 2012.

To clarify, still a serious injury for Wenceel Pérez, who has a left orbital fracture. But his eyesight is not believed to be in danger.
Wenceel Pérez remains in Houston, getting further evaluation on his eye injury. He goes on 10-day IL to make room for Trei Cruz.“He’s in a good place. The swelling has started to go down,” A.J. Hinch said.

Playing the blame game as Tigers’ pinch-hit effectiveness continues to plummet

The Tigers' pinch-hitting strategy isn't working anymore. Whose fault is it?

Jones fails again . K’s on a pitch outside of the zone on
The black on a 1-2 pitch.
Base loaded.
Now Carpenter is out of the lineup.

Jones' average against left handed pitching isn't much better than Carpenter's at this point. .169 vs. .167. The White Sox still have a couple more left handed relievers left in the pen today, so I expect that Jones will get a chance to lower his, though.

 

[lonesometiger]

Isn;t Outman a left hitting batter?! IDNK aj thinking!

 

[tigermud]

Looks like the famine offense today. Crowd should start booing a lot more

[kalinecountry]

Getting no hit by the shit bum white sox is very demoralizing.

It's only June 20, but Spencer Torkelson already has 96 strikeouts — putting him on pace for 205 strikeouts in the 2026 season. That would break Riley Greene's franchise record of 201 strikeouts, set in 2025.
Torkelson 8 for 53 in June.

Riley Greene 6 for his last 40 with 4 RBI.

The Tigers are 4 games behind the dead twins after 75 games, and media people keep saying how great the smartest man in the room is.

 

[biggunsbob]

Vierling with another crap at bat.

 

[lonesometiger]
