Game Notes: The Tigers welcome the Royals for a four-game series at Comerica Park. The Royals lead the season series 4-2.
This will be the Tigers’ first game after the trade deadline, and after a busy few hours, the team will look quite a bit different. The trade festivities started when the Tigers sent catcher Carson Kelly to the Texas Rangers in exchange for catcher Liam Hicks and right-hander Tyler Owens. The move also helped the Tigers open up a spot on the roster for highly-touted catcher Dillon Dingler to come up from Triple-A Toledo.
The Tigers traded left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin to the Texas Rangers in exchange for right-hander Joseph Montalvo and right-handed reliever Chase Lee.
The Tigers also traded right-handed pitcher Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for catcher/first baseman Thayron Liranzo and shortstop Trey Sweeney from the Dodgers. Lastly the Tiger traded outfielder Mark Canha to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for right-handed reliever Eric Silva from the Giants.
Amidst all the different moves, the Tigers’ rotation is very much in flux. Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Tuesday that Flaherty would have gotten the start on Thursday had the team not dealt him, but it’s looking like it will be yet another bullpen-only game for the Tigers as they start a new series with the Kansas City Royals.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Bates County Circuit Court judge Friday sentenced a Linn County, Kansas, man in connection with the December 2025 death of Airen Andula, 13.
Damon Leonard, 47, was sentenced to four years in prison for abandonment of a corpse, according to court records.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of abandoning a corpse on May 22.
Andula disappeared from his Pleasanton, Kansas, home on Dec. 21, 2025. A day later, law enforcement found the boy’s body in a ravine in Bates County, Missouri. He had died from multiple dog bite injuries.
Police were led to the boy’s body after a phone call from Leonard.
Court documents said Leonard “admitted that he transported the deceased child from Kansas to Missouri and left the body in the bottom of the creek” before he returned home.
KSHB 41 reporter Fernanda Silva spoke with Andula’s family earlier this week — after the guilty plea and ahead of Friday’s sentencing.
His family shared that the guilty plea brought a small sense of justice, but it didn’t do much to ease the pain of their loss.

“We’re missing our kid every day of our lives,” the boy’s father Charles Andula told Silva.
Leonard received credit for time served of 158 days in his sentence, per court records.
