Javier Baez Day-to-Day After Early Exit on Friday
Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Javier Baez (head) left an 8-2 loss to the Miami Marlins on Friday after fouling a ball off his forehead. Baez is not in concussion protocol, though, and is considered day-to-day, Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports. The 32-year-old started at shortstop, but the Tigers had to replace him with Trey Sweeney during his first at-bat game of the game in the top of the second inning. After back-to-back awful seasons, Baez surprisingly bounced back en route to an All-Star nod in the first half this year. However, his production has tanked since the beginning of July, and he's now hitting a below-average .256/.284/.400 with 11 homers, 52 RBI, 53 runs, and five steals in 410 plate appearances.
