Tigers optioned INF prospect Hao-Yu Lee to Triple-A Toledo.

Lee had been set to play in the World Baseball Classic for Chinese Taipei before an oblique injury sidelined him. He will now head back to Triple-A, where he slashed .243/.342/.406 with 14 home runs and 22 steals in 126 games as a 22-year-old last season. There is a good chance we will see him in Detroit at some point in 2026.
Thayron Liranzo

DET Catcher #49

Tigers optioned C prospect Thayron Liranzo to Double-A Erie

Liranzo came into the 2025 season as a Top 100 prospect, but he was hurt and hit just .206/.308/.351 line in Double-A when he was healthy. The Tigers will send him back there in the hopes that the 22-year-old can build some momentum at the start of the 2022 season.
Max Clark

DET Center Fielder #95

Tigers OF prospect Max Clark was reassigned to minor league camp.

Despite getting a lot of attention this spring for his jewelry, Clark is a very talented player who hit .271/.403/.432 with 14 home runs and 19 steals in 111 games split between High-A and Double-A last year as a 20-year-old. Clark struggled in spring training, but he also posted a 92 percent zone contact rate and an 84 percent contact rate overall, so he was not overmatched. The Tigers will use the next couple of weeks to decide what affiiliate he will begin the season at, but he could absolutely play his way into Detroit’s lineup this eason.
Colt Keith

DET 2nd Baseman #33

Colt Keith went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Blue Jays in Grapefruit League action on Sunday.

As a team, the Tigers had just seven hits in the contest — all of them singles — with Keith the only player to have more than one. He’s hitting .263 (5-for19) so far on the spring, though he is still searching for his first home run.
Bryan Sammons

DET Starting Pitcher #62

Bryan Sammons struggled during Sunday’s Grapefruit League start against the Blue Jays, giving up four runs on two hits and a pair of walks in his 2 2/3 innings.

The 30-year-old southpaw recorded just one strikeout in the ballgame. He got out of the first inning unscathed before serving up a solo homer to Addison Barger in the second. The wheels then fell off for Sammons in the third as he issued a pair of one-out walks and then plunked Daulton Varsho to load the bases with two outs, prompting a call to the bullpen. Johan Simon then came in and allowed all three inherited runners to score. Sammons is nothing more than organizational starting pitching depth for the Tigers at this point.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

Tarik Skubal said after Saturday’s World Baseball Classic start against Great Britain that he’s going to talk to the Tigers and his agent Scott Boras about continuing to pitch for Team USA.

The original plan had been for the star southpaw to make just one start in the tournament before returning to Tigers’ camp, but Skubal said after Saturday’s start, “I didn’t expect these types of emotions to run through my brain or my thoughts to differ. I was pretty committed to making a start and getting back to camp. Things have changed, obviously.” It’s nice to see that type of passion from the 29-year-old left-hander. Hopefully Boras and the Tigers sign off on the decision, and we get to see Skubal pitch for the Red, White and Blue once again during the tournament.
Tarik Skubal

DET Starting Pitcher #29

Tarik Skubal allowed one run over three innings Saturday in his start against Great Britain.

Skubal gave up a homer to Nate Eaton on the very first pitch of the game, but he retired nine of 10 after that, striking out five in the process. Ken Rosenthal tried to talk him into pitching again for Team USA after his outing, but Skubal deflected the question. It’s already been decided between he and the Tigers that he’d make just the one start.
Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Casey Mize was charged with three runs over 3 1/3 innings Saturday against the Pirates.

Mize gave up four hits and handed out one free pass in an outing that was all over the place against a group of mostly minor leaguers. The 28-year-old former first-overall pick will open the season at the back-end of Detroit’s overhauled rotation and offers minimal fantasy appeal for shallow mixed leagues.
Matt Vierling

DET Center Fielder #8

Matt Vierling went 3-for-3 with a home run, four RBI, and three runs scored on Friday against the Red Sox.

Vierling is a bit of a forgotten man in Detroit because he missed most of last season with an injury, but he’s gone 8-for-15 this spring with no strikeouts and an over 60 percent hard-hit rate. His home run was a 358-foot bomb that let the bat at 100.8 mph, and he also added a 111 mph RBI single and a 105.5 mph RBI double. He will almost assuredly start against all left-handed pitching this season, but there’s a chance that he works himself into a bigger role if Colt Keith or one of the starting corner outfielders struggles at the plate.
Justin Verlander

DET Starting Pitcher #35

Justin Verlander allowed two runs on two hits in two innings against the Red Sox on Friday striking out four and walking two.

The big hit was a two-run home run allowed to Kristian Campbell in the top of the first inning. Verlander sat 94 mph on his fastball, which is basically where he was at last season, and also registered a 39 percent whiff rate. He gave up just the one hard-hit baseball and threw 64 percent strikes, so this was an encouraging outing overall.
