Trevor Plouffe Sends Warning to Detroit Tigers Ahead of Series vs. Orioles
Trevor Plouffe Sends Warning to Detroit Tigers Ahead of Series vs. Orioles originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers enjoyed a day off on Monday as they basked in the glow of their American League best 43-24 record. Advertisement The Tigers also found themselves a half game ahead of the National League's New York Mets for the best record in Major League Baseball. Detroit is scheduled to take on the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday at 6:35 p.m. ET at M&T Bank Stadium in downtown Baltimore. Recently, former MLB player Trevor Plouffe was featured on the Instagram account of longtime host Chris Rose as he shared a warning with the Tigers franchise about a fierce competitor worth keeping an eye on in the American League West. Jake Meyers rounds the bases during a June 8 game vs. the Guardians. © Ken Blaze-Imagn Images "The Astros could overtake the Tigers as the best team in the American League," the Chris Rose Sports page wrote on Instagram in a video clip viewed over 67,000 times. Advertisement "The thing with the Tigers that worries me is, they're very young," Plouffe said. "And like, you know, they've only started winning recently and the air in the clubhouse is different when there's like expectations and things like that." "Even with different personnel, the vibe in the Astros' clubhouse has always been the same, the standard has always been high even through new managers... You know, if I'm a bettin' man, and I'm betting what team do I think has a better record at the end, I still kind of feel like it's the Astros."

Mets' Tyrone Taylor delivers another incredible web gem: ‘He's one of the best in the game'
Tyrone Taylor has been terrific for the Mets this season. With Jose Siri remaining sidelined due to a tibia injury, the veteran outfielder has gotten his opportunity to start just about every day in centerfield and he's taken full advantage of it. Advertisement Even on days he doesn't start, he keeps finding ways to make his mark. On Wednesday night, Taylor entered the game as a late-inning defensive replacement and he gunned down Luis Garcia Jr. trying to score on a single to center, helping keep David Peterson's shutout alive. A few hours later, he was back in the lineup for Thursday's series finale -- and he came through again. With a man on first and two outs in the sixth, Taylor ranged deep into the right-center gap and layed out to make a tremendous diving grab to rob Garcia of an extra-base hit and keep Washington off the board again. These are just the latest additions to what's been a season-long highlight reel for Taylor. 'At this point nothing surprises us with him,' Carlos Mendoza said. 'As soon as the ball was hit, looking at him and [Juan] Soto and how far both of them went into the gap, I thought it was going to be at least a double. Advertisement 'He kept closing the gap and then for him to make that spectacular play like that, it's not the first time we've seen it from him but that goes to show you he's elite out there -- he's a special player and a special defender, one of the best in the game.' Statically, Taylor is up there among the best in baseball -- he's currently ninth among CFs with four defensive runs saved and ranks in the 89th percentile with three Outs Above Average, according to Baseball Savant. If he's able to stay healthy and can keep this rolling, there's no reason he shouldn't at least be in the mix to take home his first career Gold Glove award come season's end. 'He works so hard at his craft and is such a good defender,' Brandon Nimmo said. 'He's really saved a lot of games and a lot of runs for us. Just look at this game and how we ended up winning by one run, that catch was extremely important, what an amazing play. "You know you're getting the best effort Tyrone has every single game -- he's doing great, I couldn't be more proud of the center fielder and the baseball player he is.'

Mets ace Kodai Senga placed on IL with hamstring strain
New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga left Thursday's start against the Washington Nationals with an apparent right leg injury, and was placed on the 15-day Injured List immediately after the game. Mets' manager Carlos Mendoza announced the move to reporters post-game. Senga allowed just two baserunners in the first 5.1 innings before racing to cover first on CJ Abrams' grounder to Pete Alonso. Senga made a leaping grab of Alonso's high throw and touched the bag with his right foot on his way down. But the 32-year-old stumbled upon landing and reached for the back of his right leg before hopping and eventually tumbling to the ground. Senga was visited by Mendoza, a trainer and his interpreter before being surrounded by teammates. He got up and walked off the field on his own, albeit with a slight limp. No information about the severity of the injury is available at this time, but the Mets will have Senga undergo an MRI on Friday. The 5.2 scoreless innings of one-hit ball lowered Senga's ERA to 1.47. Left-hander Jose Castillo entered with the Mets leading 4-0. Senga suffered a left calf injury in his only regular-season start last July 26. After missing the first 102 games because of a right shoulder strain, Senga gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Atlanta Braves before he was injured sprinting off the mound to clear room for Alonso to catch a pop-up by Austin Riley. Senga returned to make three appearances, including two brief starts, in the playoffs. Reporting by The Associated Press. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
