BOTTOM LINE: The Detroit Tigers host the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday to start a three-game series. Detroit is 33-21 in home games and 61-46 overall. The Tigers have hit 131 total home runs to rank ninth in the majors.

The Tigers led the AL Central by seven games on Sept. 6, 2009, and proceeded to finish the year 11-15 while the Twins won 18 of 26. That forced a Game 163, where the Tigers appropriately blew a 10th-inning lead to ultimately lose in 12.

The Detroit Tigers officially added Troy Melton to the five-man rotation when they optioned fellow right-hander Keider Montero to Triple-A Toledo.

Gleyber Torres hit a three-run homer off ex-Tiger Max Scherzer and the Tigers beat the Blue Jays, 10-4, to snap a 6-game skid.

The Detroit Tigers have struggled as of late, but could look to bolster their bullpen with the potential help of an Atlanta Braves arm.

The Detroit Tigers are historically bad. At least, they have been over the past 13 games entering Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.

The Detroit Tigers signed starter Alex Cobb — a 37-year-old who has pitched in 13 MLB season — to a one-year, $15 million contract in December 2024.
