Javier Baez Back In Action Against Twins
1 year agoDetroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (personal) is back at shortstop and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Tuesday against the visiting Minnesota Twins and right-hander Sonny Gray. Baez was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to a death in the family and is just now returning on Tuesday. The 30-year-old Puerto Rican slugger has been mostly a disappointment in 2023 in his second season in the Motor City, slashing .223/.262/.325 with seven home runs, 12 doubles, four triples, 49 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 48 runs scored in 429 plate appearances over 105 games played. Since July 20 over 15 games (13 starts), Baez is hitting just .200 (10-for-50) with no homers, a triple, three RBI, one stolen base and 10 runs scored.
