Javier Baez News: Playing time slipping

Updated on September 2, 2025 at 6:37pm

Baez is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Mets.

Baez has now started just three of the last eight games and two of the last seven versus right-handed pitching. He's slashing .224/.229/.308 with a 1:36 BB:K in the second half. Trey Sweeney will play shortstop and Wenceel Perez will be in center field for the Tigers on Tuesday.
