Matt Vierling is expected to be back soon, and he played some third base last season in addition to playing outfield. The Tigers have guys that they can put at third base, but they don't really have a true third baseman. That is something that Nolan Arenado can provide, and his veteran presence and bat would be helpful additions as well.

Scott Harris and the Detroit Tigers front office want to extend Tarik Skubal, but don't expect any indications of their ability to do so ahead of time.

Not far behind the Tigers, the Royals, who were one of the AL’s biggest surprises in 2024, have been able to duplicate their recipe for success so far this year. As was the case a year ago, the starting pitching has been the driving force behind K.C.’s strong start.

On Tuesday night at home against the Boston Red Sox, Javier Baez was the hero for the Tigers. He hit one three-run home run in the sixth inning, and then he hit a walk-off three-run shot in the 11th lift Detroit to a 10-9 win.

The Tigers squandered four leads — 1-0, 2-1, 3-2 and 6-4 — across the first eight innings May 13 against the Boston Red Sox, then Báez secured an 10-9 win with a three-run, walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning. It was his second homer of the game.
