## Resource

The Detroit Tigers are spiraling, clinging to last place with a brutal 21-34 record after losing 17 of their last 20 games. Key injuries to pitchers Tarik Skubal and Justin Verlander, plus outfielder Kerry Carpenter sidelined since May with a sprained shoulder, have crippled their offense — currently the worst in MLB in OPS. Carpenter’s rehab is progressing, with live-pitch simulations and a possible minor league assignment, aiming for a June return. With multiple offensive stars out — including Meadows, Báez, and Torres — and Skubal’s free agency looming, the Tigers may be preparing to trade assets at the deadline. They face the Angels tonight at 6:40 PM — a must-win moment before it’s too late. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
