Get ready for some thrilling baseball action as the Tigers gear up for their spring training campaign! The start of the Grapefruit League is just around the corner, and the team is raring to go. This weekend, the Tigers will commence their 2026 spring season with a bang, facing off against some tough opponents.
On Saturday, the Tigers will hit the road to take on the mighty Yankees at 1:05 p.m. ET. But here's where it gets controversial... the Tigers have a secret weapon in their arsenal - Keider Montero, who will be leading the charge on the mound. Montero's performance will be a hot topic of discussion among fans and critics alike.
Sunday and Monday bring more excitement as the Tigers welcome the Orioles and Twins to their home turf. Jack Flaherty and Bryan Sammons, a promising minor league lefty, will face off against the Orioles, while Tarik Skubal makes his highly anticipated spring debut against the Twins on Monday. And this is the part most people miss - the Tigers have also signed free agent Drew Anderson, who will be making his debut on Monday as well!
Saturday's game will be a visual treat, broadcast live on Tigers TV, while the Sunday and Monday games will be exclusively on the radio, with the legendary Dan Dickerson providing the commentary.
In other news, Justin Verlander, the future Hall of Famer, is back in action after a brief personal break. He's been working on his setup behind the plate with Dillon Dingler, discussing target placements and angles to hitters. It's fascinating to see the attention to detail from one of the game's greats.
And for a real treat, check out the video below of Josue Briceño, the Tigers' #4 ranked prospect and top 100 slugging prospect, taking Tarik Skubal deep in a live BP session. It's a sight to behold, even in practice!
As always, remember that these pitching plans are tentative and subject to change. The beauty of baseball is its unpredictability, so stay tuned for more exciting updates as the Tigers prepare for their spring campaign.
