Tigers may factor big-league readiness into the 2021 MLB Draft.
A recent report from FanGraphs may gave us a little insight into Detroit?s approach to the 2021 MLB Draft.

I saw that fangraphs article and I think it's total BS. They are saying that drafting a player that is more ML ready is a mistake if another player has a higher grade but they don't know how the players are graded. There have been so many different mock drafts and they are all different. The bust rate of HS players is significantly higher than the bust rate of college players. What's wrong with taking a player that has a better chance of success?
 
Detroit Tigers' Matt Manning has just been pulled from his start in Toledo tonight. Expect him to be called up to Detroit to help cover the loss of 2 pitchers last night.

Here?s everything that the Tigers have done in the last 24 hours.

* Reliever Jason Foley was optioned to Triple-A Toledo following Monday?s game.

* Left-hander Matthew Boyd and right-hander Alex Lange, who both experienced shoulder discomfort during Monday?s game, were placed on the 10-day injured list.

* Third baseman Jeimer Candelario completed his COVID intake protocol and was reinstated to the active roster.

* Veteran right-hander Wily Peralta and left-hander Miguel Del Pozo were selected from Triple-A Toledo to help aid the bullpen.

* To create room on the 40-man roster, catcher Wilson Ramos and right-handed pitcher Beau Burrows were designated for assignment; and right-handed pitcher Rony Garcia was transferred to the 60-day injured list.

* Additionally, the Tigers have added right-handed pitching prospect Matt Manning to the taxi squad and said that he will make his first career start on Thursday against the Los Angeles Angels.

too bad they couldn't let him start in KC tomorrow vs. Anaheim on Thursday.

Shohei Ohtani is pitching. I'll bet he hits too and goes yard on Manning twice.
 
Tigers lead 3 - 0 bottom of the third inning,

RBI hit by Miggy and a 2 run homer bu Schoop,

Jonathon Schoop last 30 days
1.2 WAR 11th

Manning threw with Tigers pitching coach Chris Fetter on Tuesday, and his imminent debut will signify the completion of the Tigers? trio of touted pitching prospects ? Manning, Skubal and Casey Mize ? arriving at the MLB level.
 
Miggy with his second hit of the night a double to rightfield,
That ties him with roidy palmeiro for 20th place all-time with 585 career doubles.
 
6-7 for June so far; not great, but certainly continuing to be better than in the awful month of April.

Add a few good free agents (not superstars, but above average players) and the Tigers are contending for the central.

So the Astros were banging drums to telegraph pitches thrown by glue-laced hands. I?m sorta surprised now that more teams weren?t stealing signs in a similar way.

EDIT: It?s interesting that the glove that Mize switched to was positively straw-blonde colored and was acceptable to HPU John Tumpane, while a charcoal-grey glove was deemed to be ?too-light? in color. True, that the umpires discretion plays prominently in this call, but the glove that Mize switched to was, IMO, ?distracting? to quote rule 1.15. And it is somewhat odd that Tumpane let Mize use the glove in the first inning, and that he acted on his own initiative. I don?t blame Mize for being annoyed and I expect he?ll be fined for expressing his frustration.
