What do we need to know about Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's knee surgery?
What do we need to know about Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown's knee surgery? Boston Celtics star forward Jaylen Brown has undergone surgery on his knee, according to a recent press release circulated by the team. What does this news mean for the Georgia native's future as a high level athlete, and what impact will it have on the Celtics short-term future and beyond? We have known about Brown's knee woes since late in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, when it was reported that the Cal alum was playing through pain due to a bone bruise and knee impingement. That discomfort lingered and impacted his play in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, after which it was revealed that the Boston star had been playing on a partially torn meniscus. The hosts of the CLNS Media "Garden Report" podcast, Bobby Manning and John Zannis took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Check it out below!

Detroit Tigers bring back 'pitching chaos' strategy for win, led by Brant Hurter
BALTIMORE — The Detroit Tigers listed right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long as the starting pitcher for Tuesday, June 10, in the first of three games against the Baltimore Orioles. Only, he didn't take the mound in the first inning. Advertisement Instead, manager A.J. Hinch changed the pitching plan for Tuesday's game, opting for the opener-bulk strategy. It was 'pitching chaos' all over again. Instead of Gipson-Long, the Tigers used left-handed reliever Brant Hurter as an opener to combat the five left-handed hitters throughout the Orioles' lineup, including Jackson Holliday and Gunnar Henderson among the first three spots. THE GAME: Spencer Torkelson hits 16th home run in Tigers' 5-3 win over Orioles Detroit Tigers pitcher Brant Hurter (48) throws during the first inning against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Celebrate Father's Day with our new Tigers book! "He's a weapon, and we use him that way," Hinch said of Hurter, who has thrown 36 innings in 19 appearances this season. "This is a unique team that features a ton of left-handed hitters, he's a really tough guy on those left-handed hitters. ... It's a pretty good matchup. ... When we do it this way, we can determine when to bring Sawyer in." Advertisement The Tigers prioritize the entry point for the bulk reliever to provide the best opportunity for success. In this case, Gipson-Long served as the bulk reliever — but only after Hurter set him up by pitching into the third inning. "It was a really good day on the mound," said Hinch after using five pitchers for a 5-3 win in Tuesday's game, "but it does start with Hurter getting in and handing the ball to Sawyer in a good place, and then Sawyer was really incredible." Hurter faced 12 batters. Seven of them were left-handed hitters. Lefties have batted just .188 with a .483 OPS against Hurter throughout his MLB career, which spans 29 games across parts of two seasons. Meanwhile, righties have hit .213 with a .627 OPS. Advertisement "It's not a knock on Sawyer," Hinch said. "It's more pro-Hurter in the things he can do against this lineup, that's predominantly left-handed. That's the right matchup." Henderson is the most dangerous talent in the Orioles' lineup, but he's a left-handed hitter. The Tigers wanted Hurter to face him twice in favorable matchups, limiting Gipson-Long to just two unfavorable matchups instead of three. That's exactly what happened. The Tigers mapped out the plan with Hurter as part of their pregame preparation. "They give me an idea about the hitter they're looking at Sawyer coming in, so I have an idea," Hurter said. "They give me a little heads-up of what batter I need to get to." Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson (2) looks on during the first inning against the Detroit Tigers at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. ASG WATCH: Does Tigers 1B Spencer Torkelson have All-Star plans? 'I'm going Up North' Advertisement In Tuesday's game, Hurter matched up with Henderson in the first and third innings. In the third, Henderson delivered a two-out RBI single, which forced the Tigers to pivot from the original plan. Had Hurter retired Henderson, then Gipson-Long would've entered for a clean fourth inning against right-handed hitter Ramón Laureano. But once Henderson reached base, the Tigers called on right-handed reliever Chase Lee for their matchup to face Laureano, finishing the third. "We wanted a clean inning for him, so Chase had to come in and get the one out," Hinch said. "But Hurter pitched efficiently, which allows me to extend him as long as we want." Hurter has worked as a starter throughout his career in the minor leagues, so he has experience handling heavier workloads across multiple innings, but the Tigers just don't have room for him to start in the big leagues. Advertisement So Hurter takes on the do-it-all role. "We can't forget, this guy could start on a lot of teams," Hinch said of Hurter, who has a 1.75 ERA with nine walks and 34 strikeouts across 36 innings, "and he may start down the road. It shows, because he pounds the strike zone." [ MUST LISTEN: Make "Days of Roar" your go-to Detroit Tigers podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) ] PURR-FECT GAME NEWSLETTER: Which Detroit Tigers will join Tarik Skubal at MLB All-Star Game? After Hurter, Gipson-Long allowed one run on three hits and zero walks with five strikeouts across 4⅔ innings. His fastball maxed out at nearly 96 mph, his changeup generated six whiffs on 11 swings and he threw more than 78% of his pitches for strikes. Advertisement Gipson-Long dominated. But the Tigers set him up for success. "The fact that we can throw (Tarik) Skubal, Casey (Mize) and Jack (Flaherty) out there for seven, eight (innings)," said catcher Dillon Dingler, "and then the next day throw a couple of arms before we get to the bulk guy, it's a completely different look." Another fun element in the game: The Tigers showed off their pitching versatility by turning to reliever Tommy Kahnle (who has eight saves) in the eighth inning, then reliever Will Vest (who has 11 saves) in the ninth inning. Detroit Tigers pitcher Will Vest (19) celebrates after a game against the Baltimore Orioles at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on Tuesday, June 10, 2025. Next time, it could be Vest first and Kahnle second. "We can go a lot of different ways, which makes us unpredictable," Hinch said. "We try to be unpredictable and be a tough matchup for teams.

Inside the rise of Tommy Kahnle, the Detroit Tigers reliever with an elite changeup
Sixty-one. That's how many consecutive changeups right-handed reliever Tommy Kahnle threw during the New York Yankees' 2024 postseason run — a streak that began in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Cleveland Guardians and ended in Game 3 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Advertisement "I wasn't really sure what the number was," Kahnle said, reflecting on his 61 changeups in a row, "but in the back of my head, I'm like, 'I have not thrown a fastball in a long time.' It was working." The Detroit Tigers signed Kahnle to a one-year, $7.75 million contract and have wasted no time calling on their new high-leverage reliever in some of the most important moments this season, including save situations in the ninth inning. The 11-year MLB veteran has racked up eight saves in 28 games for the Tigers in the 2025 season, following a total of just eight saves in 390 games in his first 10 seasons. Get a grip on a great Father's Day gift: Our new Tigers book! He is throwing his changeup a career-high 84% of the time. Advertisement "Speaking of unicorns, it's a pitch where everyone in baseball knows how he pitches," manager A.J. Hinch said, "and yet he finds a way to get soft contact and miss bats and continue to pound the zone. Fun player because he can be utilized at any point of the game, and he doesn't change." MILESTONE: Tigers' Tommy Kahnle reflects on 10 years of MLB service time: 'It's an honor' Detroit Tigers pitcher Tommy Kahnle (43) throws against New York Yankees during the ninth inning at Comerica Park in Detroit on Monday, April 7, 2025. Kahnle is a changeup artist. But the 35-year-old wouldn't be who he is without a lesson from pitching coach Carlos Chantres more than 13 years ago. A career-changing adjustment occurred in 2011, when Kahnle pitched for the Charleston RiverDogs, the Low-A affiliate of the Yankees. Advertisement He didn't make his MLB debut until 2014. "It's been a while," Chantres said. "Back then, we didn't have all the technology we have now," Chantres continued. "It was old-school baseball — use your eyes, see what hitters do. He had a two-seam changeup. We weren't seeing the swing and miss." Carlos Chantres, who works as the Latin American pitching coordinator for the Chicago Cubs. One day in 2011, during a pregame bullpen session at a small South Carolina ballpark, Chantres approached Kahnle with a simple question: "Tommy, how do you grip your changeup?" Kahnle didn't say a word. He just held up the two-seam changeup grip. "Most of your fastballs are four-seam, right?" Chantres asked. "Yeah," Kahnle said. Advertisement "Then why don't we try a four-seam changeup grip?" Chantres asked. "It seems like hitters are seeing this one pretty good." Since Kahnle threw a four-seam fastball, switching to a four-seam changeup grip helped him tunnel the two pitches, making the changeup mirror his fastball out of the hand before dropping late and generating swings and misses. To this day, Kahnle still uses that grip. "He liked the feel," Chantres said. JEFF SEIDEL: Tigers have 'madhouse of a bullpen,' and Will Vest leads the vibe In 2011, the Yankees — and every other MLB team — didn't have advanced technology like they do in 2025. There was just a computer system and a camera, so Chantres couldn't fully evaluate the new changeup in the bullpen. Advertisement The real test came in a live game. Once Kahnle threw it, the feedback from hitters was immediate. The four-seam grip gave the changeup more depth. It missed bats. "Oh (expletive), there it is," Chantres said. BULLPEN STRIKES AGAIN: Tigers bring back 'pitching chaos' strategy for win, led by Brant Hurter 'Always had a great changeup' For a long time, Kahnle's changeup complemented his four-seam fastball, which maxed out 100.6 mph in 2017. He also mixed in a sinker, slider, cutter and curveball at various points in his career, but the fastball remained his primary weapon, followed by the changeup as his second-most-used pitch. Advertisement His fastball velocity began to dip in 2019. That's when the changeup took over as his go-to pitch. "I always had a great changeup," Kahnle said. "We just didn't utilize it a lot because I had an elite fastball at the time. Eventually, we made the switch. Every year since then, the usage has just gotten higher and higher." In 2019, Kahnle threw 51.9% changeups, 44.2% four-seam fastballs and 3.9% sliders. From there, his changeup usage surged — all the way to 84% in 2025. Since 2019, only Devin Williams (2,541) and Trevor Richards (2,201) have thrown more changeups than Kahnle's 2,088 among MLB relievers. Advertisement Hitters still haven't solved it: They're batting just .155 off Kahnle's changeup since 2019 — and only .148 in 2025. By 2022, fellow pitchers had picked up on Kahnle's changeup usage, though hitters had been aware of it for a few years. That season, he pitched for the Dodgers. His changeup became a running joke in the clubhouse. "A lot of guys with L.A. were chirping about it: You could throw this pitch 100 times, they know it's coming, and they still can't hit it," Kahnle said. "It gave me a good laugh." [ NEW TIGERS NEWSLETTER! Sign up for The Purr-fect Game, a weekly dose of Tigers news, numbers and analysis for Freep subscribers, here. ] Advertisement Sometimes, Kahnle second-guesses the extreme changeup usage, which has been north of 70% in four straight seasons. He entered 2025 with the Tigers hoping to scale it back, but the data — and the results — keep reinforcing the changeup. So do his teammates. "You know it's coming, and you still really can't hit it," said Texas Rangers catcher Kyle Higashioka, who caught Kahnle for years in the Yankees' organization, dating to their time in Low-A Charleston in 2011 — the year Kahnle learned the four-seam changeup grip. "It's definitely something special." The person behind the pitcher Detroit Tigers pitcher Tommy Kahnle works out during spring training at TigerTown in Lakeland, Fla. on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025. Kahnle and Higashioka met for the first time in 2011. Advertisement They had just turned 21. "We were all pretty wild back then," Higashioka said. Every day, Kahnle refused to tie his shoes while running in warmups and shagging fly balls during batting practice, but he eventually laced them up for the game. "Tommy, you're going to twist your ankle," said Chantres, the pitching coach who taught Kahnle the changeup grip. "You got to tie your shoes." "No, Carlos, I've got the strongest ankles in America," Kahnle said. He's goofy like that. "Tommy still is wild," Higashioka said. For example, Kahnle shaves his entire body as a personal punishment when he allows a run — a tradition he started in the minor leagues and still follows today. He is the loudest player in the Tigers' clubhouse, collects Philadelphia Eagles jerseys, wears a Notre Dame football helmet and keeps a video game console with a monitor in his locker. He's also known for his caffeine addiction, having graduated from five Red Bulls a day to two C4 Energy drinks and two large cups of coffee. Advertisement How does Kahnle describe his personality? "High-energy, carefree, just having fun," he said. Detroit Tigers pitcher Tommy Kahnle (43) high-fives teammates after the win over the Baltimore Orioles during Game 2 of a doubleheader at Comerica Park in Detroit on Saturday, April 26, 2025. It's impossible not to love him. "He keeps everyone loose," Higashioka said. Kahnle and Higashioka worked together for a few years in the minors with the Yankees, then again in the big leagues after Kahnle returned to the Yankees in 2017, following stints with the Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox. Higashioka had a part in the evolution of Kahnle's changeup usage. "When he came back to us, he was throwing more fastballs," Higashioka said. "Over time, the data was showing that his changeup was unhittable, so the coaches kept pushing us to throw more and more changeups. Apparently, it doesn't matter if people know it's coming. It's that good." 'Big statement for him' The personality, the contract, the changeup — it has all led Kahnle to becoming a key piece of the Tigers' bullpen in the 2025 season. In Detroit, he has stepped into a closer role for the first time in his 11-year MLB career. Advertisement His journey traces back to that grip change in 2011. And Kahnle still credits Chantres. A TEAM PLAYER: Tigers reliever Tommy Kahnle not picky about role with A.J. Hinch, Chris Fetter Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle reacts after the Tigers defeated the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in St. Louis on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. "That's a good feeling as a coach," said Chantres, now 49 and working as the Chicago Cubs' Latin American pitching coordinator. "I've been in this game for many years. A lot of guys that I've taught got to the big leagues, but when people remember stuff like that, it's a good feeling." In 2025, Kahnle owns a career-best 1.24 ERA with eight walks and 26 strikeouts across 29 innings in 28 games, notching eight saves in 11 opportunities. He generates whiffs, limits walks and induces ground-ball contact. Advertisement The Tigers have deployed a two-closer system this season, with Kahnle and fellow right-handed reliever Will Vest combining for 19 saves: 11 from Vest, eight from Kahnle. Kahnle is happy to pitch in any role. But the Tigers want him — and his changeup — in the biggest moments. "Every good team needs a good closer — somebody you can rely on to keep the score where it's at and win games," Higashioka said. "The fact that he's closing, and the Tigers have the best record in the American League, that's a big statement for him." Contact Evan Petzold at epetzold@ or follow him @EvanPetzold.
