Locked On MLB - Daily Podcast On Major League Baseball

The Detroit Tigers just took a major hit to both their lineup and rotation, and it could shake up the entire AL Central race. In this episode of Back to the Bullpen, we break down the impact of Javier Báez landing on the injured list with a sprained ankle and Casey Mize going down with an adductor strain, forcing Detroit into immediate roster changes. With Jace Jung and Enmanuel De Jesus called up, the Tigers are now relying on unproven depth while also dealing with the absence of Justin Verlander. We analyze how these injuries affect the Tigers’ defensive flexibility, shortstop situation, and pitching stability, and whether their aggressive baserunning identity can keep them afloat. Can Detroit hold onto first place in the AL Central, or is this the moment their season starts to slip? Get the latest Tigers news, MLB injury updates, AL Central standings implications, and real analysis right here.

 

The New York Mets are falling apart — and it’s not just the losses anymore.

 

In this episode of Back to the Bullpen, we break down the latest injury blow as Kodai Senga lands on the IL with lumbar spine inflammation, raising major concerns about the Mets’ already shaky rotation. With Senga shut down and struggling before the injury, the question becomes: how much of this collapse is health-related… and how much is deeper?

American League playoff race wide open as Kenley Jansen’s late-inning woes haunt Detroit Tigers—could a closer change alter their postseason fate?  

 

Sully spotlights the Tigers’ bullpen struggles, Tarek Skubal’s ace-level outing, and Kyle Finnegan’s emergence, while questioning why Detroit sticks with Jansen despite costly blown saves as the AL Central remains up for grabs.

 

Key discussions include the staggering reality that only the New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, and Sacramento A’s currently sit above .500 in the American League. How will contenders like the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Guardians, and underperforming Houston Astros adjust with the window for easy fixes closing quickly?  

 

Plus, Sully  examines why now is the time for teams to plug roster holes from within, the rise of unexpected contributors, and which small moves could mean playoff berths in an unusually stagnant AL.
