With the Tigers' season now over, Gleyber Torres is planning to undergo sports hernia surgery, the second baseman told reporters (including the Detroit News' Tony Paul) in the aftermath of the club's loss in Game Five of the ALDS. Torres revealed that he has been dealing with the injury for several months, and praised the Tigers' training and medical staff for helping him keep playing. " It was not good from the [start of the] second half," Torres said. " It was a lot of pain. But we do a really good job keeping me playing....It's not about the numbers, it's just about playing every day."

Miami made three errors in the second as Detroit scored twice. With Spencer Torkelson on first, Colt Keith's grounder to first went off Wagaman for the first error. Second baseman Máximo Acosta retrieved the ball in foul territory and threw wildly past third. Left fielder Troy Johnston tried to run down the ball but it bounced off a fence, through his legs and past as Keith reached third. Keith scored on Dillon Dingler's single.

After Wenceel Pérez's RBI double put Detroit ahead in the top of the 11th, López started the bottom half with an infield single that advanced automatic runner Joey Wiemer. Heriberto Hernández's RBI fielder's choice scored Wiemer before Johnston drove a slider from Rafael Montero (1-2) over the wall in right-center. It was Johnston's first career multi-homer game. Josh Simpson (3-2) got the last two outs in the top of the 11th for the win.

In three games, Malloy went 1-for-2 with one walk across three plate appearances. The 25-year-old didn't start in any of the four games while he was on the active roster, though he came off the bench in three games, including twice as a pinch-hitter. The Tigers called on Malloy as a pinch-hitter Friday, Sept. 5, in a 7-5 loss to the White Sox, replacing Parker Meadows for a favorable matchup with left-handed reliever Tyler Gilbert with two outs in the seventh inning.

Colson Montgomery continues to be in great rhythm, especially during the Chicago White Sox's matchup against the Detroit Tigers on Friday evening. Montgomery has had a recent knack for pulling off home runs, getting seven in the last 11 games for the White Sox. This has provided Chicago an active presence on offense, making himself a threat to bullpens when he steps up to bat.

The Tigers lost, 7-5, to the Chicago White Sox on Friday, Sept. 5, in the first of three games in the series at Comerica Park. The White Sox took the lead for the final time in the sixth inning, when Andrew Benintendi hit a solo home run in a left-on-left matchup against Horn. The Tigers (81-61) have dropped eight of their past 11 games, with a 22-27 record since July 9.

Flaherty, at his best, is a perfectly viable Game 2 starter. But his performance this season has fluctuated as wildly as it did for the Los Angeles Dodgers in last year's playoffs, when he followed his two best starts with poor ones. He warrants only so much trust. With the emerging Melton, Holton and perhaps Brant Hurter, who is currently on the injured list with back soreness at Triple A, the Tigers will not lack for bulk-inning candidates.

Right-hander Beau Brieske has been on Triple-A Toledo's injured list since July 10 due to elbow soreness, and Tigers GM Jeff Greenberg told reporters (including the Detroit News' Chris McCosky) yesterday that the reliever had a setback during a recent bullpen session. As a result, Brieske will be shut down for the next 4-6 weeks, meaning that his 2025 season is all but officially over, barring both a deep Tigers postseason run and a rather improbable activation to a playoff roster.

I think the goal is to have as many productive players as we can and guys that can help us win,

The Detroit Tigers released their schedule for the 2026 season on Tuesday, Aug. 26, and they begin with Opening Day on March 26 against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park. The Tigers play their first six games on the road, facing the Padres for a three-game series (March 26-28) and the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game series (March 30-April 1) at Chase Field.

He appeared in just 31 games during that first taste of the majors and didn't hit much at all, but earned a regular role with the Pirates in his first full big league season the following year and hit quite well across 130 games. Then 25 years old, Newman impressed with an above-average .308/.353/.446 slash line (109 wRC+) in 531 plate appearances as Pittsburgh's starting shortstop.
