Javier Baez Back In The Starting Lineup Tuesday
10 months agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is back in the starting lineup for Tuesday night's series opener versus Los Angeles Angels right-hander Griffin Canning. Baez didn't start Monday afternoon's contest against the Giants but struck out in a pinch-hitting appearance. It's been a disastrous season at the plate for the veteran as Baez is hitting just .226 with seven homers, nine stolen bases, and a .599 OPS across 95 contests. Additionally, Baez's .274 xwOBA isn't much higher than his .261 wOBA while his 64 wRC+ ranks 143rd of 145 qualified big-league hitters. Of course, he has played himself completely off the fantasy radar while he will look to bounce back Tuesday night out of the six-hole in Detroit.
