DETROIT -- Troy Melton and Dillon Dingler have accomplished quite a bit early in their Major League careers. On Thursday, the Tigers' pitcher-catcher battery added a rare feat for any experience level: The strikeout/2-1 putout.

CHICAGO -- Tigers fans made themselves heard at Wrigley Field all Monday night. But as Kenley Jansen stared in at catcher Dillon Dingler with the bases loaded and a 3-0 count to Alex Bregman, Cubs fans drowned out everything else, even Jansen’s PitchCom earpiece.

There's no place like home.

For seven playoff hopefuls, that saying is especially true.

These contending clubs have lopsided home/road splits, faring significantly better in their home ballpark than on the road. As we work through a critical stretch between the All-Star break and the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline, these sort of

1 key player for each team in the second half

July 17, 2026

The second half of the MLB season usually comes with a mission. For contenders, it's getting to the postseason. For others, it's taking stock and looking ahead to improve for next season.

In either circumstance, there are players who teams want to see contribute because they figure to be an important

July 19, 2026

ANAHEIM -- Tarik Skubal spent his All-Star break in Detroit, bypassing a typical midsummer vacation to get his regular between-starts work at Comerica Park. On Saturday at Angel Stadium, that preparation paid off immediately.

Backed by a four-run burst in the first inning, Skubal silenced the Angels' bats, scattering five hits

One of the best pitchers in baseball, at least in this way, is just like us.

DETROIT -- One of the best qualities of Tarik Skubal -- beyond the triple-digit fastball, filthy changeup and buckling curveball -- is the fact that he is much the same person as a back-to-back Cy Young Award winner that he was as a gangly rookie trying to make Detroit’s rotation

DETROIT -- Tarik Skubal paused for a second when asked how he’ll be spending the break.

“The All-Star break?”

It wasn’t out of privacy. In Skubal’s world, there is no break. It’s just his regular time between starts.
