The Spring Breakout rosters are here! Check out our preview, with a focus on some of the lesser-known names. tigersmlreport.com/2026/03/05/d...

Carson Rucker launches a game-tying solo homer to left in his first spring plate appearance.

Trei Cruz with a 2-out single up the middle to score Thayron Liranzo (BB) and tie the game for Detroit.

Brett Callahan launches a homer to dead center in his first plate appearance of the spring. Left his bat at 107.5 MPH and went an estimated 405 feet.

Casey Mize gave up a double, 2 walks and a HBP in 2 innings, but kept Jays scoreless with a pair of double plays. 35 pitches, 18 strikes, including 5 swing-and-misses.

Nice return to action for Ty Madden. Threw six different pitches in a 1-2-3 frame against Kyle Schwarber, JT Realmuto, and Bryce Harper. Four whiffs with the cutter 👀

It’s the ninth inning of a Grapefruit League game, but with two outs and the tying run on 3B, it’s a big moment for Max Clark. “Oh, I feel adrenaline regardless. It's a big spot. I want the moment. I mean, you guys can tell that. So it was nice to go out there and complete the job.”
