Rest-of-Season Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Astros in January of 2025.
Back on bench
Short is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis
Short had started at shortstop in each of the past four games, going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, three RBI and two runs. Mauricio Dubon will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but the Astros may have room for both players in the middle infield on a fairly consistent basis until Jeremy Pena (rib) returns from the 10-day injured list.

Stat Review
How does Zack Short compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing all over
Short is expected to play three infield positions and the outfield for Detroit, reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
Analysis
Short hit ninth and played second Tuesday in his return to Detroit from the minors. The 27-year-old made starts at five different positions for Triple-A Toledo this season and is expected to play all over the diamond for the Tigers. The utilityman hit .231/.355/.398 with 11 homers and 11 stolen bases in 102 games for the Mud Hens this season. He made his big-league debut last year for the Tigers, and after a strong start, hit just .106/.185/.235 with 47 strikeouts over his final 151 plate appearances. With Jonathan Schoop out with an ankle injury, Short may get some regular playing time and the chance to prove he can hit in the majors.
