Reese Olson delivered a stellar performance as he pitched the Detroit Tigers to a convincing 6-0 shutout over the San Diego Padres at Comerica Park. The young right-hander allowed only two hits in 7⅓ innings, showcasing his command with 21 of 25 first-pitch strikes. Olson’s impressive outing contributed to the Tigers winning their second consecutive game against a team that had been on a hot streak.

Offensively, Gleyber Torres, Justyn-Henry Malloy, and Dillon Dingler each hit home runs, helping the Tigers score six runs and secure their sixth series victory of the season. Manager A.J. Hinch praised Olson for his relentless approach and strike zone dominance, which was key in neutralizing a lineup filled with right-handed hitters. The Tigers now stand at 15-10, winning 15 of their last 22 games.

The Detroit Tigers faced off against the New York Yankees in a closely contested game, ultimately falling short with a 4-3 loss in their home opener. Max Fried of the Yankees exhibited dominant pitching, striking out 11 Tigers over seven scoreless innings, while Jack Flaherty of the Tigers matched him with an impressive performance, allowing no runs through 5⅓ innings.

Despite struggling for most of the game, the Tigers mounted a late rally in the ninth inning. Spencer Torkelson scored on a wild pitch, and Zach McKinstry brought in two runs with a single, narrowing the gap to just one run. However, the Tigers couldn't complete the comeback as Justyn-Henry Malloy's pop out ended the game. This loss marked their first at Comerica Park this season, but they managed to win the series 2-1.

The Detroit Tigers faced a setback as Gleyber Torres, their second baseman, was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left oblique strain. This injury occurred during his impressive home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Torres was hitting .429 with one home run in the season's initial games before the injury forced his early exit.

To fill the gap, the Tigers recalled Justyn-Henry Malloy from Triple-A Toledo. Malloy, who performed well in the minors, offers a promising option to bolster the lineup. With multiple players already on the injured list, including outfielder Matt Vierling and right-hander Alex Cobb, the Tigers are dealing with significant roster challenges as they prepare for their upcoming series against the Seattle Mariners.

In a recent roster move, the Detroit Tigers have optioned outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy to Triple-A Toledo as they finalize their lineup for Opening Day against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Tigers have instead selected utility player Ryan Kreidler, who has primarily played center field during spring training, to fill the available spot on the 26-man roster.

Despite an impressive spring training performance where Malloy hit .309 with one homer in 22 games, the Tigers' decision appears influenced by Kreidler's defensive versatility, particularly following injuries to several outfielders. Kreidler, who has struggled offensively in his MLB career, is expected to contribute significantly in the field as the Tigers navigate a challenging start to the season.
