HEART BREAK NEWS: Riley Greene officially announce his Resignation and Departure From detroit tigers today due to………READ MORE.
DETROIT — The Tigers shied away from baseball’s trend of myriad alternate jerseys for years, sticking with their traditional home whites and road grays with the Olde English D. Fittingly, their jump into baseball’s City Connect series is both a tribute to Detroit’s rich history and a nod to the city’s promising future.
The Detroit Tigers placed outfielder Kerry Carpenter on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a back injury.
Carpenter, 26, is dealing with lumbar spine inflammation. His IL designation is retroactive to Monday.
Carpenter is batting .283 with eight homers and 29 RBIs in 50 games in his third season with the Tigers. The 2019 19th-round draft pick is a career .275 hitter with 34 home runs and 103 RBIs through 199 games.
Detroit recalled outfielder Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo to replace Carpenter on the 26-man roster.
Baddoo, 25, tripled and scored a run in his only previous at-bat with the Tigers this season on May 12 against the Houston Astros. He is batting .253 with 6 homers, 22 RBIs and 16 stolen bases in 40 games this year at Toledo.
It’s a new week in our MLB Power Rankings — and we have a new No. 1 atop our list!
After the Phillies usurped the Dodgers two weeks ago, the red-hot Yankees have now taken over that spot. Since May 1, New York has won 25 of its 32 games.
While the top teams continue to dominate, the rest of the league continues to falter, as only 11 clubs have a record over .500 — seven in the American League and only four in the National League. Will the tide change as we get deeper into summer baseball?
