The Detroit Tigers’ young core is drawing attention as the team navigates a challenging stretch of the 2025 season. Here’s the latest on Dillon Dingler, Spencer Torkelson, Casey Mize, and Riley Greene—four names central to the Tigers’ future.
Riley Greene remains the offensive centerpiece for Detroit. Despite past hamstring and leg injuries, Greene has managed to stay in the lineup, posting a .275 average with home runs and 30 RBIs so far this season. He’s acknowledged the physical toll of the schedule, especially after recent road trips, but insists he’s just “a bit sore” and not dealing with a new injury. The Tigers have been cautious, occasionally resting him to avoid aggravating past issues, but Greene continues to deliver at the plate and is considered one of the top young hitters in the American League.
Spencer Torkelson, after a stint away from the big league roster, has returned to the Tigers. He’s looking to reestablish himself as a key power bat and is eager to prove he belongs in the heart of Detroit’s lineup.
Casey Mize, the former No. overall pick, is working to regain his form after injury setbacks in previous seasons. His health and consistency on the mound remain crucial for the Tigers’ rotation as they look to build for the future.
Dillon Dingler, one of the organization’s top catching prospects, continues to develop in the minors. His progress is closely watched as Detroit evaluates its long-term options behind the plate.
With Greene leading the way and the other young talents pushing for bigger roles, the Tigers’ rebuild remains a story to watch as the 2025 season unfolds.
