Tigers manager A.J. Hinch told MLB.com?s Jason Beck and other reporters that Spencer Turnbull is lined up for rehab starts on Tuesday and Sunday with the Tigers? high-A affiliate.
Turnbull hasn?t pitched since May 6 due to neck discomfort, so he is already eligible to return from the 60-day injured list whenever he is fully ramped up. It has been another tough setback for Turnbull, who missed some of the 2021 season and all of 2022 recovering from Tommy John surgery.

July 26 in Tigers and mlb history:

1908: The Detroit Tigers selected George Winter off waivers from the Boston Red Sox.

1910: The Detroit Tigers purchased Art Loudell from Waco (Texas).

1911: Christy Mathewson wins his 21st straight game against the Cincinnati Reds, 5 - 3. He replaces Hooks Wiltse in the 8th and his single in the 9th scores a run to help win it.

1916: Tigers favorite Harry Heilmann gets an appreciative hand from the crowd for having dived into the Detroit River last night to save a woman from drowning.

1922: Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm was born this day in Huntersville, NC.

1927: Max Carey, who played 17 years with the Pirates before he was dismissed, returns to Pittsburgh in a Robins uniform and makes a clean steal of home in the 6th inning. It is his 33rd and last steal of home, a National League record.

1928: Ty Cobb goes 2-for-5 with a double in his final career start, for the Athletics at Comiskey Park.

1933: Yankee Lou Gehrig is thrown out of the second game in a doubleheader against Boston. Had it been the first game, his consecutive game streak would have ended.

1933: The 61-game hitting streak of the San Francisco Seals' 18-year-old rookie, Joe DiMaggio, is stopped by Ed Walsh, Jr. of the Oakland Oaks.

1933: Rogers Hornsby swaps St. Louis uniforms, leaving the Cards to manage the Browns.

1936: The Tigers strand 14 runners and lose to Boston and Wes Ferrell, 10 - 3. The Tigers have 13 hits, including those of Goose Goslin who goes 3 for 3. Jimmie Foxx hits his 28th homer of the year in Boston's five-run 8th, then hits another in the 9th, to pin the loss on Elden Auker.

1937: Mickey Cochrane resumes command of the Detroit Tigers as a bench manager.

1941: Baseball Immortals Together Again - Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and Tris Speaker fondly reflect on their days in the big leagues.

1948: The Babe Ruth Story starring the woefully miscast William Bendix is released!

Babe Ruth makes his final public appearance at the New York premiere of The Babe Ruth Story. The Sultan of Swat will die three weeks later.

1957: Jim Bunning of the Tigers 2-hits New York 3 - 2, but one of the hits is Mickey Mantle's 200th homer of his career. Al Kaline knocks in the two Tigers runs.

1960: The Detroit Tigers purchased Harry Chiti from the Kansas City Athletics.
1960: The Detroit Tigers traded Rocky Bridges and Red Wilson to the Cleveland Indians for Hank Foiles.

1962: In New York pitcher Gene Conley and infielder Pumpsie Green of the Red Sox mysteriously disappear after a 13 - 3 loss to the Yankees.
They leave the team bus in traffic to use a rest room and fail to return.
Conley decides he wants to fly to Israel, and goes to the airport, but is refused a ticket because he does not have a visa. Conley was the loser in the game, pitching 2 2/3 inning, and walking in two of the eight earned runs allowed. Pumpsie did not play.

1962: Warren Spahn hits his 31st career homer, off Craig Anderson, setting a National League record for pitchers, in a 6 - 1 Braves win.

1968: The Detroit Tigers traded Dennis Ribant to the Chicago White Sox for Don McMahon.

1968: Leaving with a strained knee after five innings of pitching, Earl Wilson of the Tigers earns a 4 - 1 win in the opener of three games with the Orioles. Rookie Daryl Patterson provides spectacular relief coming in with the bases loaded in the 6th and striking out the side. Boog Powell's homer in the 8th is the only tally for the O's. The win increases the Tigers' lead over the O's to 6 1/2 games.

1970: Johnny Bench of the Reds and Orlando Cepeda of the Braves each collect three consecutive homers and seven RBIs during respective games with the Cardinals and Cubs. Bench hits all three off Steve Carlton and adds a single in the Reds' 12 - 5 win over the Cards. Bench now has 33 homers and 95 RBIs to lead the majors.

1974: The Detroit Tigers signed Sheldon Burnside as an amateur free agent.

1977: Jack Morris pitches 4 innings of relief in his major league debut.

1987: Catfish Hunter, Billy Williams, and Ray Dandridge are inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

1992: Nolan Ryan strikes out his 100th batter, reaching that mark for a record 23rd year in a row. He subdues the Orioles, 6 - 2.

1997: The Detroit Tigers signed Marcus Jensen as a free agent.

1998: Don Sutton and Larry Doby are inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Lee MacPhail, George Davis and Joe Rogan. MacPhail joins his dad, Larry MacPhail, to become the first father and son duo to be enshrined at Cooperstown, NY.

2005: Chicago Cubs pitcher Greg Maddux records his 3,000th career strikeout during a game vs. the SF Giants at Wrigley Field.


2009: Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice and Joe Gordon are inducted into the Hall of Fame in a ceremony in Cooperstown, NY. Gordon is the first player to be voted in by the Veterans Committee since its rules were reformulated following the controversial election of Bill Mazeroski in 2001.

2012: The Miami Marlins sent Brad Davis to the Detroit Tigers as part of a conditional deal.

2014: The Hall of Fame announces a change in voting rules, as players will now be able to stay on the BBWAA ballot for a maximum of 10 and not 15 years, as long as they meet the minimum 5% threshold. The move is designed to prevent the ballot from becoming overly crowded because of players tainted by steroids staying on the ballot for years on end with no realistic chance of election, but drawing votes away from more legitimate candidates. However, a number of inductees with an untainted record have had to wait over 10 years for election in recent years, such as Jim Rice, Bert Blyleven or Andre Dawson, making it likely that the rule change will have the effect of also squeezing out some worthy candidates.

2015: Four players, all elected by the BBWAA, are inducted into the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY as the Class of 2015: pitchers Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez and John Smoltz, all elected on their first presence on the ballot, and 2B Craig Biggio.

2020: It's only the end of the opening week-end of this year's delayed major league season, but already there is no unbeaten - or winless - team left. For the first time since 1954, when there were only half as many teams, no team has started the year 3-0.

2022: The Detroit Tigers signed Daniel Norris as a free agent.

2023: MLB owners extend the contract of Commissioner Rob Shithead Manfred through the 2028 season.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.
Totally Tigers

The Detroit Tigers are currently 8 games under .500 (through Monday?s games) and 7 games out of 1st place. They are just 3 games out of 2nd place.

Next Tuesday is the trade deadline. The Tigers have 4 pitchers (ERod, Lorenzen, Cisnero and Shreve) on either opt out or expiring contracts. Conceivably, they could lose all 4 at the end of the year and get nothing in return if they aren?t traded.

There are also other players rumored to be of interest to other teams.

What should be the goal of this organization be as we approach the trade deadline?

Keep the top performers mentioned and work towards having the best year possible? Potentially even aiming for a wild card slot?

Or should this organization use the trade deadline to improve the roster going forward? Adding new and needed talent and depth by trading off players who are unlikely to be here next year?

One option may provide a short-term thrill. The other, short-term disappointment followed by a stronger future.

Which choice would you select?

This is today?s question to kick start some good discussion threads here ? and to take with you wherever you go during the rest of the week.

With the approaching trade deadline, which option would you pick?

1. Keep the trade candidates and try to finish the year as strong as possible.

2. Trade players and start building for the future.

The Tigers spent the most of any club, shelling out $17,677,450 in bonuses, the second-highest total ever behind only the 2015 Astros, who paid out $19,103,000. Twenty-one of the 30 teams exceeded $10 million in bonus spending. A team-by-team breakdown of spending:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F1-Rbz9WAAMjcUv?format=jpg&name=small

This refers to the bonus money teams are allowed to give out to their draft picks. The Detroit Tigers had the 2nd highest figure at $15,747,200 and spent $2 mill over. They are allowed to exceed the allotment for picks by 5%. There's a 75% fine on anything over.
