Tigers' Reese Olson: Mixed results in first start
Olson (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 4.2 innings.
Olson allowed a tolerable six baserunners -- including one on an intentional walk -- in his 4.2 innings, but three of the four hits against him went for extra bases. He entered the fifth frame holding his own in a 2-2 tie, but a two-out, two-run double by Teoscar Hernandez marred Olson's stat line and lined him up to take the loss. The right-hander did manage to notch five strikeouts and get 10 whiffs, so there were some positives to take away despite the defeat. Olson's second start of the campaign is tentatively scheduled to be a considerably softer matchup against the White Sox next weekend.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Not starting Saturday
Torres (ribs) is not in the Tigers' starting lineup against the Dodgers on Saturday.
Torres was removed in the sixth inning of Friday's extra-inning loss when he aggravated a rib injury after hitting a home run in the third frame. The injury doesn't appear to be severe enough for him to warrant a stint on the IL, but he'll sit out of Saturday's contest ahead of Monday's series opener against the Mariners. Colt Keith will start at the keystone and bat fifth against Dodgers right-hander Roki Sasaki.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Removal deemed precautionary
Torres aggravated a rib injury during Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Seidel of The Detroit Free Press reports.
Torres was grabbing at his left side after hitting a home run in the third inning Friday. He remained in the game for a few additional innings but was eventually removed in the sixth, though the team said after the game that his removal was precautionary due to a rib injury that he's been fighting recently. The Tigers may continue to take a cautious approach and keep Torres out for a game or two, though a trip to the IL doesn't seem imminent.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Two more hits Friday
Torkelson went 2-for-5 with a double in Friday's 8-5, 10-inning loss to the Dodgers. He also stole a base.
Torkelson walked four times and launched a home run on Opening Day, and he followed that performance up with two more hits and his first stolen base of the season Friday. The 25-year-old isn't known for his speed, as he came into the year with only three career steals at the MLB level, but he should hit plenty of long balls if he remains in the lineup most days.

Tigers' Beau Brieske: Blows first save chance
Brieske (0-1) blew the save and took the loss in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers, coughing up five runs (four earned) on four hits while recording just one out.
Dillon Dingler gave the Tigers a 5-3 lead in the top of the 10th inning with a two-run triple, setting the stage for Brieske's first save chance of the season. The right-hander instead melted down in spectacular fashion, giving up a leadoff double to Michael Conforto and a game-tying single to pinch hitter Will Smith before Mookie Betts walked it off with a three-run blast. Given his lack of a track record in the ninth-inning role, Brieske's leash is likely short -- even with Jason Foley beginning the season in Triple-A, the Tigers could turn to Tyler Holton, Tommy Kahnle or Will Vest to protect a late lead if Brieske continues to falter.

Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Goes yard in first start of season
Dingler went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.
After Jake Rogers got the nod behind the plate in the Tigers' opener Thursday, it was Dingler's turn Friday and he made an immediate impact with his bat when he launched a second-inning solo shot off Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The 26-year-old backstop then nearly played hero with a two-run triple in the top of the 10th, only for Beau Brieske to blow the save in the bottom of the frame. Dingler flashed some big power in the minors, including 17 homers in only 71 games at Triple-A Toledo in 2024, and if the second-round pick in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft gets rolling, he could muscle his way into a significant role for Detroit.

Tigers' Jack Flaherty: Settles for no-decision Friday
Flaherty came away with a no-decision in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander blanked the defending champs, and his teammates for the latter part of 2024, through five frames as Detroit grabbed an early 2-0 lead, but Flaherty exited after 83 pitches (50 strikes) after serving up a game-tying homer to Freddie Freeman in the sixth. Flaherty revived his career last year in a campaign split between the Tigers and Dodgers, and his performance in his 2025 debut suggests that rebound was no fluke. He lines up for a much less intimidating matchup next weekend at home against the White Sox.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Exits early Friday
Torres was removed from Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an apparent side injury, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Torres hit a solo home run in the third inning of Friday's contest but was grabbing at his left side while rounding the bases. He remained in the game for a bit longer but was eventually replaced at second base in the sixth frame. The fact that he was able to stay in the game after initially displaying discomfort may be a good sign that his injury is minor, but the Tigers should provide more details on his status in the near future.

Tigers' Jake Rogers: Not starting Friday
Rogers isn't in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers.
Rogers will take a seat Friday after going 1-for-3 with a walk on Opening Day. Dillon Dingler will catch for Jack Flaherty instead and bat seventh.

Tigers' Ty Madden: Moved to 60-day IL
The Tigers transferred Madden (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
A right rotator cuff strain has kept Madden out since early March, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out until late May. His spot on the 40-man roster will be given to Brewer Hicklen, who was acquired from Milwaukee on Friday.

Tigers' Brewer Hicklen: Dealt to Motor City
The Tigers acquired Hicklen from the Brewers on Friday in exchange for cash and optioned him to Triple-A Toledo.
Hicklen was dropped from the Brewers' 40-man roster Thursday in order to create room for Jake Bauers, but the former will reclaim a roster spot upon joining his new organization. The 29-year-old outfielder slashed .246/.363/.470 in Triple-A last season but isn't likely to spend much time in the majors this year.

Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Has solid debut with new club
Torres went 2-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers. He also stole a base.
Torres batted second in his debut with the Tigers, and he figures to remain near the top of the order all season. After playing with the likes of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto last year in New York, the infielder will hit in a more prominent spot with Detroit, which could balance out a downgrade in his supporting cast. The stolen base is also an encouraging sign for Torres, who only swiped four bags in 2024 after recording at least 10 steals in each of the previous three seasons.

Tigers' Manuel Margot: Collects two hits on Opening Day
Margot went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Less than a week after signing with Detroit, Margot started in right field and batted fifth on Opening Day. Southpaw Blake Snell was on the bump for Los Angeles, which led to Kerry Carpenter riding the pine. Against righties, the Tigers figure to deploy Carpenter and likely sit Margot, depending on who fills the DH spot. The team is also waiting on Matt Vierling (shoulder), Parker Meadows (arm) and Wenceel Perez (back) to return to the outfield. For now, the veteran Margot has some short-term fantasy value in deeper formats, although he's only been a middling offensive contributor in recent seasons.

Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Impressive Opening Day performance
Torkelson went 1-for-1 with a solo home run and four walks Thursday against the Dodgers.
Torkelson had a strong spring and benefited from some injuries on the Detroit roster, a combination that set him up for regular at-bats to begin the season. He took advantage with his first opportunity as he put together solid plate appearances, the most productive of which was a solo home run in the fifth inning. Torkelson has consistently shown patience at the plate in his big-league career, and he should be able to take a step forward in production if he can tap into his raw power more consistently.

Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Tagged for two homers by Dodgers
Skubal (0-1) allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk while striking out two across five innings to take the loss Thursday against the Dodgers.
Skubal faced a stiff test on Opening Day, and that showed as he generated only eight swinging strikes on 80 total pitches. He still did a solid job of limiting runs and baserunners, but the big blow came on a three-run homer that he surrendered to Teoscar Hernandez in the fifth inning. There's no reason to panic regarding this performance for Skubal, though it would be reassuring to see him return to his typical dominance in his next turn through the rotation, which is expected to come next week in Seattle.
