Facing the Mets for the fourth time in 11 days, Rondon tried to mix his pitches more. He threw a 99-mph fastball inside, something that pitching coach Jeff Jones has emphasized http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_11_09_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-172232.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_11_09_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-172232.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 23:09:33 EST The Mets gave “marginal” interest in outfielder Brennan Boesch, who was released by the Tigers, according to a club official. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_09_45_am__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_LF-172050.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_09_45_am__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_LF-172050.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:45:33 EST Tigers' Justin Verlander to pitch for Triple-A Toledo on Saturday in Lakeland. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_09_07_am__Tigers_Justin_Verlander_P-172043.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_14_09_07_am__Tigers_Justin_Verlander_P-172043.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:07:33 EST Jon Heyman of CBS Sorts reports that the Yankees have some interest in Brennan Boesch. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_13_11_04_am__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_RF-171844.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_13_11_04_am__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_RF-171844.html Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:04:33 EST The Tigers have released Brennan Boesch. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_13_09_56_am__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_LF-171820.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_13_09_56_am__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_LF-171820.html Wed, 13 Mar 2013 09:56:33 EST Tigers believe Bruce Rondon is ready to pitch in the big leagues and close games but not necessarily ready to “be the closer.” Asked about the chances of Rondon being part of a closer by comittee, manager Jim Leyland put it in one word: “Possible.” “That’s a very good question,” Leyland said, “and that’s a very good answer. Possible, and that only means possible.” Leyland summed up Rondon’s standing like this: “Is he in the mix as a closer? Yes. Is he in the mix to make the team, possibly as another pitcher you close with occasionally? Yes. Is it a possibility that he’s not ready yet? Yes.” http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_01_43_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-171588.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_01_43_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-171588.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:43:33 EST Jhonny Peralta is in the lineup Tuesday after missing yesterday’s game with the food allergy. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_11_42_am__Tigers_Jhonny_Peralta_SS-171556.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_12_11_42_am__Tigers_Jhonny_Peralta_SS-171556.html Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:42:33 EST Catcher Ramon Cabrera and shortstop Dixon Machado were assigned to Double-A Erie. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_10_31_pm__Tigers_Dixon_Machado_SS-171480.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_10_31_pm__Tigers_Dixon_Machado_SS-171480.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:31:33 EST Tigers' pitcher Melvin Mercedes was sent to Class A Lakeland. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_10_29_pm__Tigers_Melvin_Mercedes_P-171479.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_10_29_pm__Tigers_Melvin_Mercedes_P-171479.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:29:33 EST Tigers' outfielder Daniel Fields and shortstop Eugenio Suarez were assigned to the team's minor-league camp. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_10_27_pm__Tigers_Eugenio_Suarez_SS-171478.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_10_27_pm__Tigers_Eugenio_Suarez_SS-171478.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 22:27:33 EST Jhonny Peralta was scratched from Monday's lineup due to a reaction to food allergy. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_01_25_pm__Tigers_Jhonny_Peralta_SS-171343.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_11_01_25_pm__Tigers_Jhonny_Peralta_SS-171343.html Mon, 11 Mar 2013 13:25:33 EST Quintin Berry has returned to action for the Tigers Sunday.

The ‘Great National Tigers Closer Nightmare’ is over — or at least not as much of a boogeyman as it had seemed just days earlier. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_08_08_59_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-170929.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_08_08_59_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-170929.html Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:59:33 EST Detroit Tigers assign Michael Morrison, Ryan Robowski to minor-league camp. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_08_09_36_am__Tigers_Michael_Morrison_P-170809.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_08_09_36_am__Tigers_Michael_Morrison_P-170809.html Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:36:33 EST Victor Martinez left today's game after one at-bat, but says his left knee is fine. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_03_24_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_DH-170543.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_03_24_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_DH-170543.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:24:33 EST Manager Jim Leyland today on Rick Porcello as a closer candidate: "I don't think it's a far-out idea. I just think it's highly unlikely." http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_12_43_pm__Tigers_Rick_Porcello_P-170527.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_12_43_pm__Tigers_Rick_Porcello_P-170527.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 12:43:33 EST Victor Martinez (knee) is back in the Tigers lineup Wednesday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_09_39_am__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_DH-170490.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_06_09_39_am__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_DH-170490.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 09:39:33 EST Brennan Boesch (oblique) hopes to return for Tigers on Wednesday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_04_09_pm__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_OF-170394.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_05_04_09_pm__Tigers_Brennan_Boesch_OF-170394.html Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:09:33 EST Tigers assigned catchers Curt Casali and James McCann to minor league camp following today's game. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_04_06_41_pm__Tigers_Curt_Casali_C-170263.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_04_06_41_pm__Tigers_Curt_Casali_C-170263.html Mon, 04 Mar 2013 18:41:33 EST Tigers' Bruce Rondon hurts chances at claiming closer role with another unimpressive outing. In his past four games, Rondon has allowed 10 of 21 hitters faced to reach base. He allowed three Sunday in arguably his worst appearance in a Tigers uniform to date. "I think it's too early to get excited about anything," Jim Leyland cautioned when asked if Rondon's spring troubles are a cause for concern. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_04_12_43_am__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-170171.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_04_12_43_am__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-170171.html Mon, 04 Mar 2013 00:43:33 EST The Tigers may not have a closer issue yet, but they could be working toward one if hard-throwing 22-year-old Bruce Rondon doesn't find the strike zone. There have been hints out of Tigers camp that longtime manager Jim Leyland is concerned about the current closer situation. However, Tigers management wants to give young prodigy Rondon a full shot -- at least for now. Leyland is said to remain a fan of veteran closer Jose Valverde, who wasn't brought back after a brutal postseason and remains a free agent. Leyland generally prefers a proven closer. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_03_26_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-170101.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_03_26_pm__Tigers_Bruce_Rondon_P-170101.html Sun, 03 Mar 2013 15:26:33 EST Victor Martinez has been off last 2 days, won't play again until Wednesday. Manager Jim Leyland says it was planned: "Victor's fine. Trust me." http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_01_52_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_C-170086.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_03_01_52_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_C-170086.html Sun, 03 Mar 2013 13:52:33 EST Updated: Victor Martinez is taking a mini-break after pushing hard the first eight games of spring training. Jim Leyland said he was “backing off” from using his designated hitter as much. “He’s had a lot of at-bats,” Leyland said today. “I’m going to have to watch it, but he’s fine.” http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_02_37_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_C-169965.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_02_37_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_C-169965.html Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:37:33 EST Jim Leyland and the Tigers are still interested in bring back closer Jose Valverde. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_01_06_pm__Tigers_Jose_Valverde_P-169957.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_01_06_pm__Tigers_Jose_Valverde_P-169957.html Sat, 02 Mar 2013 13:06:33 EST His absence from the Tigers lineup for Saturday's and Sunday's games is ominous, but Victor Martinez insisted Saturday that all is well with his recovering left knee. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_12_10_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_DH-169952.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_03_02_12_10_pm__Tigers_Victor_Martinez_DH-169952.html Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:10:33 EST Tigers OF Andy Dirks returned to the lineup Friday after missing most of the week with a left intercostal strain.

The long playoff run and the short offseason combined with a shoulder issue that affected him down the stretch led them to take extra precautions with him. Scherzer finally threw his first live batting practice session of the spring Sunday morning, and it went extremely well, according to Tigers manager Jim Leyland. Scherzer appears to be on track to start a split-squad game Saturday. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_24_02_51_pm__Tigers_Max_Scherzer_P-169122.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_24_02_51_pm__Tigers_Max_Scherzer_P-169122.html Sun, 24 Feb 2013 14:51:33 EST Tigers announce that Andy Dirks has been scratched from Sunday's exhibition game with a mild left intercostal strain. http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_24_12_40_pm__Tigers_Andy_Dirks_LF-169103.html http://rotoinfo.com/comments-2013_02_24_12_40_pm__Tigers_Andy_Dirks_LF-169103.html Sun, 24 Feb 2013 12:40:33 EST
